Open source self-improving layer for AI agents
As the founding engineer at TraceRoot, you’ll work side-by-side with the founders to build the product and shape our engineering culture from the ground up.\ You’ll wear many hats, touching everything from AI systems and user-facing features to backend infrastructure and open-source SDKs.
We move fast, debate hard, and execute even harder, shipping new features weekly and iterating live with users. You’ll work in person with the founders at least 3 days a week, white boarding, coding, and shipping together. If you love building fast, solving hard problems head-on, and seeing your code impact real users within days, you’ll fit right in.
## What You’ll Do
* **Talk to users often** to deeply understand how to improve TraceRoot’s AI and UX (you can expect to spend 10-20% of your time on support) * **Ship full-stack features** and build the foundational building blocks that users will use to build their apps seamlessly * **Maintain our open-source projects** to help grow and engage our developer community * **Improve our AI agents’ performance, reliability, and edge-case handling** to continuously enhance AI output quality (for both function + design) * **Build robust infrastructure** for our end-to-end platform to power millions of telemetry events
## Requirements
* **Strong full-stack experience with React, TypeScript, and Node.js:** you’ve shipped production features end-to-end * **Strong sense of ownership:** you’re autonomous and own features from start to finish * **Strong communicator:** you write clearly, think rigorously, and can collaborate well within small teams * **Scrappy and execution-driven:** you move fast, make pragmatic decisions, and care about results over process, bias for action is in your DNA. * **Relentless builder mindset:** you thrive under pressure, love solving hard problems, and make things happen with limited resources
## Preferred Experience
* **Multi-agent systems:** you’ve designed or shipped multi-agent systems, AI-powered coding tools, LLM orchestration frameworks, or automated code workflows * **Observability tooling:** you’ve built or contributed to systems like tracing pipelines, logging, search infra, metrics platforms, or other developer-facing observability tools * **Startup experience:** you’ve worked at early-stage startups or have been a founder yourself
