Role details
Job description
DRYFT
Dryft builds intelligent systems that automate complex human decisions in manufacturing operations
We’re a small, talent-dense team with modest roots and a love for the physical world - cars, machines, planes. Our team includes graduates from Stanford, Berkeley, CDTM, TUM, winners of Stanford TreeHacks, recipients of Fulbright & Haniel scholarships, and builders of everything from robots and race cars to software with millions of downloads.
We’re backed by the founders and leaders behind Amazon, Facebook, Stripe, Applied Intuition, & others; General Catalyst & Neo, and board members of global industrial companies.
Today, we’re already saving customers millions. But this is only the beginning. ERPs ran the physical world for half a century. Dryft is powering the next.
THE ROLE
As Founding Fullstack Engineer, you’ll be the brain behind Dryft’s decision intelligence. You’ll build scalable systems that combine agent-based reasoning with mathematical optimization and simulation on top of large-scale industrial data.

- Have a strong product sense and enjoy working directly with customers daily
- Have shipped production code end-to-end, are strong in backend & infra and comfortable shipping basic frontend features.
