About the role

• Staff Engineer working across the stack in a hybrid role at Tanagram. Involved in building tools that accelerate agentic coding and enhance software development reliability.

Responsibilities

• Talk directly to users: understand their requirements, build what they ask for, ask for their feedback.
• Craft delightful product interactions.
• Proactively identify and implement improvements to our product and foundations.
• Collaborate closely with teammates and share learnings openly — we value thoughtful discussion as much as rapid iteration.
• Share and promote your work publicly (e.g. on Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, etc).

Requirements

• Experience building 0 to 1 products, either as a founder, or early engineer at a funded startup.
• Hands-on experience with the latest AI models, with a strong intuition about model capabilities.
• Data science experience, especially around clustering and anomaly detection.
• Clear and thoughtful communication on technical and strategic topics.
• Well-crafted, tastefully-design work examples.
• Bonus points: Experience working on programming language tooling: compilers/parsers/indexers (e.g. LLVM, tree-sitter, SCIP) or type systems (e.g. Typescript itself or Sorbet).

Benefits

• Health, dental, and vision insurance.
• Unlimited token usage for development using Amp.
• Employee-friendly equity terms (low FMV, early exercise, extended exercise).
• Your choice of Macbook Pro + computer/office equipment stipend.
• A relatively un-chaotic working environment (we aren't pivoting every week).
