Our Mission

About the role

As a founding engineer at Grit, you will work on developing our end-to-end AI agents for software maintenance. You’ll be working on interfaces for AI to make changes and for humans to collaborate on those changes.

  • What’s the best way to present thousands of AI changes to humans for rapid review?
  • How can we discover the dependencies and requirements for running unit tests on a repository, even if there’s no configuration written?
  • How do we efficiently fork a running cloud instance to try two alternative migration strategies in parallel?
  • How can we build a caching file system to make it faster to check out repositories on new machines, without keeping permanent copies of customer code?
  • How do we stream results back to customers with minimal latency to allow live monitoring and intervention?
  • Responsibilities

  • Improve our cloud execution environment for running customer source code
  • Prototype new UI interactions with React, Tailwind, and Next.js
  • Develop APIs in Rust and TypeScript
  • Design new interfaces for analyzing source code and managing the software development lifecycle.
  • Qualifications

  • Demonstrated excellence with at least one programming language, ideally TypeScript or Rust
  • Execution-driven mindset: you love shipping.
  • Interest in programming languages (ex. compilers) or machine learning is a plus, but not required. You’ll learn more on the job!
  • Comfortable working in low-structure environments and navigating unknown unknowns.
  • Why you should join us
