    Job description

    Founding Engineer

    You’ll be our second engineer, working directly with Caddy’s founders on core architecture, product direction, and execution. If you’re excited about real-time systems, agentic workflows, and building a product you’ll use every day, you’ll have outsized impact here.
    You will own large, ambiguous problems end-to-end: from choosing the approach to shipping new features, operating them in production, and iterating based on user feedback.
    We work in person out of our SoHo office.

    What we’re looking for

    • Obsessed with building a product that not only our users love, but that you love and want to use every day
    • Can make and defend thoughtful product and technical tradeoffs
    • Thrive in ambiguity and default to ownership
    • Care about correctness, performance, and user experience
    • Move fast and with intention
    • Strong opinions, loosely held

    What you’ll do

    • Own core systems for real-time voice → intent → action workflows
    • Design APIs/services for long-running, stateful agent tasks
    • Ship user-facing features with strong quality and polish
    • Improve reliability, observability, and performance as we scale
    • Help set product direction and company culture as the team grows

    Our tech stack

    Our tech stack is pragmatic and evolving. We care more about strong fundamentals than specific tools.
    • TypeScript (required)
    • Swift, Objective-C (bonus)

    Compensation

    The base pay range for this role is $120,000 – $180,000 per year.
