- **Company:** AgentMail
- **Location:** San Francisco, CA
- **Employment:** full-time
- **Work type:** onsite
- **Posted:** 2026-10-11
- **Last confirmed live:** 2026-10-14

## Job description

San Francisco · In-person AgentMail is looking for an extremely high-agency generalist to work alongside our founders and early team. There is no clean job description for this role - and that’s intentional. We’re a small team building a rapidly growing company. Every week there are hundreds of things outside of writing code and talking to customers that need to happen for the company to move quickly. Your job is to own them. That could mean planning a company offsite, coordinating a candidate’s visit to San Francisco, helping us move into a new office, researching something for a founder, negotiating with a vendor, organizing a developer event, or making sure the office is stocked before the team gets in. As AgentMail grows, the problems will change. We want someone who gets excited by that. You’ll own things like Company operations. Make AgentMail an exceptionally well-run place to work. Own our office, vendors, equipment, supplies, food, onboarding logistics, and the hundred small things that make a company function. Founder operations. Help the founders execute quickly on things that fall between functions - research, coordination, travel, reservations, scheduling, logistics, and one-off projects. Hiring & candidate experience. Help us create an incredible experience for people interviewing at AgentMail, from coordinating visits to candidate dinners and work trials. Events & community. Help organize team events, developer dinners, hackathons, offsites, celebrations, and other things we want to make happen. Special projects. Take ambiguous problems and run with them. These might have nothing to do with one another. That’s part of the job. The common thread is ownership. Who we’re looking for We’re looking for someone unusually resourceful. You:

- See a problem and immediately start figuring out how to solve it.
- Don’t need a playbook before you can act.
- Are extremely organized and reliable.
- Move quickly without becoming sloppy.
- Have excellent judgment.
- Have excellent taste.
- Notice details other people miss.
- Are comfortable picking up the phone, negotiating, researching, and asking for what you need.
- Can juggle ten completely different things without losing track of them.
- Communicate clearly and concisely.

You don’t need to have worked in operations before.

## Why AgentMail

You’ll work directly alongside the founders and early team of a fast-growing developer infrastructure company. You’ll get exposure to almost every part of building a company: hiring, recruiting, finance, events, people, vendors, operations, launches, and whatever comes next. You’ll have an unusual amount of responsibility early. And there isn’t a predetermined box you have to stay inside. As the company grows, we expect this role to grow with it. If you become exceptional at recruiting, you can own more recruiting. If you’re great at company operations, you can build that function. If you discover you’re exceptional at something we haven’t thought of yet, we’ll give you room to run with it. This is a great role for someone who wants to learn how a company gets built from the inside - and would rather be thrown into the middle of it than watch from the sidelines. Come build with us.

## About AgentMail

## Company Overview

- **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, United States
- **Founded**: 2025
- **Founders**: Haakam Aujla, Adi Singh, Michael Kim

## Core Business

- **Mission or purpose**: To give every AI agent its own email inbox, enabling identity, communication, and persistent memory on the internet.

## Products & Services
- **AgentMail API**: REST API to programmatically create inboxes, send/receive emails with full threading, attachments, and multi-party support. Includes webhooks, WebSockets, custom domains (DKIM/SPF/DMARC), and semantic search. [agentmail.to](https://www.agentmail.to/)
- **SDKs & MCP Server**: Python and TypeScript SDKs, plus an MCP (Model Context Protocol) server for AI tool integration. [agentmail.to](https://www.agentmail.to/)
- **IMAP & SMTP Access**: Legacy protocol support alongside the API for compatibility. [agentmail.to](https://www.agentmail.to/)
- **Multi-tenant Pods**: For platform builders who need to manage inboxes across many customers. [agentmail.to](https://www.agentmail.to/)

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (private company)
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding – $6.625M (as of March 2026) [linkedin.com](https://www.linkedin.com/company/agentmailto)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Y Combinator (S25), General Catalyst (lead in later seed round), Paul Graham, Paul Copplestone (Supabase founder), Karim Atiyeh (Ramp founder). [ycombinator.com](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/agentmail)

## Competitive Advantages
- **First-to-market for AI-native email**: Built from scratch for agent use cases, unlike legacy providers (Gmail, Outlook) that lack API-first inbox creation and impose restrictive rate limits.
- **Fully managed persistent inboxes**: Handles parsing, threading, labeling, searching, and replying – agents get the same email experience as humans without building custom logic.
- **Developer-first design**: Simple API key auth, no OAuth headaches, built-in permissions and guardrails, semantic search across all inboxes.
- **Scalable infrastructure**: Usage-based pricing without per-inbox monthly fees, designed to handle high volumes of emails and inboxes.

## Strategic Focus
- **Current priorities**: Scaling the platform to meet growing demand from AI agent builders; expanding SDK support and integrations; hiring engineering, GTM, and operations talent to accelerate product development and market adoption. [ycombinator.com](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/agentmail/jobs)
- **Direction**: Become the default email infrastructure layer for the AI agent ecosystem, enabling agents to communicate, authenticate, and transact via email just like humans.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture**: Small, YC-backed team (10 people) working on hard infrastructure problems at the intersection of email protocols and AI. Founders have backgrounds at Optiver, NVIDIA, and Accel. [ycombinator.com](https://www.ycombinator.com/companies/agentmail)
- **Remote/Hybrid**: Based in San Francisco; likely in-office given the early-stage startup nature, but not explicitly stated.
- **Perks & Engineering Culture**: Competitive salary ($110K–$400K depending on role) plus meaningful equity (0.20%–2.00%). Opportunity to shape the product from the ground up, work with cutting-edge AI tooling, and join a fast-growing company backed by top investors.
