We are primarily an in-person company based in San Francisco, with growing offices across North America, Europe, and Asia. We are guided by a set of values that are at the core of our actions and define our culture: Trust, Customer Obsession, Craftsmanship, Intensity, and a commitment to balancing Family along the way. These values are the foundation of our work, and we are committed to upholding them in everything we do. Our co-founders are Bret Taylor https://www.linkedin.com/in/brettaylor/ and Clay Bavor https://www.linkedin.com/in/claybavor/. Bret currently serves as Board Chair of OpenAI.

You'll surface unmet needs, prototype new tools and features, and collaborate with research, product, and platform to shape the future of AI agent development. WHAT YOU'LL BRING - Full stack software development skills and familiarity with AI development processes. - A passion for public sector work and a faith in the potential of our institutions to transform outcomes for their constituents. - Comfort working directly with customers to understand their needs and solve real-world problems. A core part of the role is coordinating directly with public servants at our partners to understand their workflows. EVEN BETTER… - Experience building conversational or long-horizon agents using proprietary or open source frameworks. - Demonstrated track record ambiguity, for example as part of a founding team, new initiative at a large enterprise, f
