Context
We're working with a company building an AI assistant that can work across your professional and personal calendars, social networks and more.
The team has a live TypeScript, event-driven platform running a microservices architecture backed by Postgres and some BigQuery. You'd build across the full stack, and there is an opportunity to own the agentic harnesses for both the product and automation for the team's own dev tooling.
You'll ship features end to end while reworking parts of that infrastructure so it's more predictable to build against with AI tooling. It is a small team, so the work will be highly collaborative with the technical co-founder.
