## Job description

## Who we are

He shaped the open source and commercial offerings of Yugabyte as SVP of Product and was the first PM at AppDynamics. https://www.linkedin.com/in/utkarshohm has built distributed systems and applied AI to build two products from scratch at ThoughtSpot - SpotIQ/KPI Monitor (insight mining engine) and Spotter (AI analyst, company's flagship product).

Mission More craft, less toil for engineers. Unfortunately, engineers spend more than 70% of their time toiling not crafting. We envision a future where a small team of generalist developers will orchestrate a large team of AI engineering agents to do the mundane for them. We are building the platform for that future for both humans and machines.

Logistics We are located in San Mateo downtown, next to the caltrain station and work from the office 4 days/week. Candidates must have existing U.S. work authorization. We can sponsor visa transfers (e.g., H-1B), but cannot support new visa applications at this time.

Values

- Agency over consensus: We take initiative and accountability and deliver end-to-end.
- Live in the future: We push our boundaries to reimagine and practice how engineering will be done in 2030.
- Improvement over perfection: We treat everything — code, process, ourselves — as a work in progress.
- Toolmakers, not gatekeepers: We empower builders, not constrain them.

## Who You Are

We are looking for a staff+ engineer with strong product sense and a passion for crafting exceptional user interfaces. As our Founding Product Engineer, you will have complete ownership of our product's user experience, set the technical direction for the frontend, and work directly with the founders to bring our vision to life.

## What You'll Do

- Architect the Frontend: Own and lead the development of our UI from concept to deployment, making all key architectural decisions.
- Collaborate and Iterate: Work in a tight loop with founders and early customers to rapidly prototype and refine the user experience.
- Establish Best Practices: Define the standards for our UI component strategy, testing philosophy, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Craft a World-Class UX: Obsess over the details to create a seamless and powerful user experience for developers.
- Shape the cutting-edge of engineering: Integrate the latest AI tools and agents into the product.

## Requirements

- 8+ years of experience in a high-quality engineering org building complex, high-performance web applications
- Energized by the open questions and whitespace that exists in the early days of building a product and company
- Proven ability to work autonomously in a fast-paced startup environment
- Deep, hands-on expertise with modern frontend stack: Typescript, React, Next.js, Playwright
- Leverage Cursor, Claude Code, Coderabbit, Warp etc to build

We'd Love to See

- Full-Stack Versatility: Experience with backend development (Node.js, Go, Python), databases, and APIs.
- Previously built or made significant contributions to a design system.
- Dev Tools Passion: A genuine interest or prior experience in the developer productivity or DevOps space.
- A strong portfolio (GitHub, live sites) demonstrating your UI/UX expertise.
- Open Source Contributions that demonstrate your passion and skill.

## What We Offer

- Up to $250k in cash and 1% in equity.
- Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance.
- Stipend for using AI tools of your choice.
- The opportunity to define a company's culture, product, and future from day one.

- **Founders**: Not publicly available

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: AI-powered incident management and observability
- **Target customers**: B2B, Engineering teams and DevOps/SRE organizations
- **Mission or purpose**: To eliminate toil in incident response by providing an AI copilot that ingests alerts, correlates signals, and guides engineers through root cause analysis and remediation.

## Products & Services
- **AccelOS On-Call Copilot**: An AI assistant that ingests alerts from monitoring tools, investigates signals, diagnoses root causes, and suggests remediation steps. It acts as a force multiplier for on-call engineers, reducing mean time to resolution (MTTR). Type: SaaS / AI Agent.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly available (early-stage startup)
- **Key Metric**: Total Funding – $7.0M raised (Seed round, June 2025)
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Acrew Capital, Boldstart Ventures, Cyberstarts VC, Evolution Equity Partners, U&I Ventures, and Shlomo Kramer (lead investors from the Seed round)
- **Growth Signals**: Raised a $7M Seed round in June 2025 from top-tier infrastructure and security VCs, indicating strong investor confidence. The company is actively hiring Founding Engineers, as evidenced by H-1B filings for roles in Apex, NC, and San Mateo, CA with offered wages ranging from $175,000 to $225,000 per year.

## Competitive Advantages
- **AI-Native Incident Management**: Unlike legacy tools that are rule-based, AccelOS uses an AI copilot model to dynamically investigate and correlate signals, providing context-aware diagnostics.
- **Founding Team & Backing**: Backed by elite venture firms known for deep tech (Acrew, Boldstart, Cyberstarts) and a legendary security investor (Shlomo Kramer), which signals high technical caliber and network access.
- **Focus on Engineer Experience**: Designed to reduce on-call burnout by automating the most tedious parts of incident response, directly improving developer productivity and satisfaction.

## Strategic Focus
- **Product-Led Growth**: Building a self-serve AI agent that integrates with existing observability stacks (PagerDuty, Datadog, Slack, etc.) to drive adoption from the bottom up.
- **Hiring Founding Engineers**: Currently scaling the core engineering team, with roles spanning backend, infrastructure, and AI/ML. The H-1B filings indicate a willingness to hire top global talent.
- **Market Expansion**: Targeting the rapidly growing AIOps and incident management market, competing with legacy players like PagerDuty and Opsgenie.

## Why Work Here
- **High-Impact Founding Role**: As a Seed-stage company, early engineers will have outsized ownership over product architecture, technical direction, and company culture.
- **Competitive Compensation**: H-1B filings show salary offers of $175k–$225k, competitive for early-stage AI startups.
- **Location Flexibility**: The company has a presence in Palo Alto, CA, and is hiring for roles in San Mateo, CA, and Apex, NC, suggesting a remote-friendly or hybrid policy.
- **Culture of Innovation**: Focused on solving a painful, universal problem in software engineering (on-call toil) with cutting-edge AI, offering a chance to work on challenging technical problems.
- **Strong Backing**: Working with top-tier investors provides stability and a strong network for the company’s growth.
