About the role

As our founding engineer, you'll own significant parts of the product alongside the founders. You'll work across the stack — event capture, the workflow inference and generation pipeline, integrations, and user-facing surfaces. You'll work directly with users and help shape the technical direction of the company.

What you'll work on

  • macOS and Windows desktop clients
  • Backend services and data pipelines for high-volume event data
  • LLM pipelines that turn raw signals into workflows, and the evals behind them
  • Integrations across the apps our users already work in
  • Infrastructure and reliability
  • Direct work with our earliest customers

Requirements

  • 1+ years of experience building production software
  • Full stack experience across multiple frameworks
  • Experience with distributed systems, data pipelines, or streaming events
  • Product obsessed and high ownership mentality

Nice to haves

  • Experience with LLM agents, distributed inference, or evaluation pipelines
  • Background in developer tools, automation platforms, or integration-heavy products
  • Client-side or on-device engineering experience
  • Early-stage startup experience

What we offer

  • Significant equity
  • Competitive compensation
  • Health, dental, and vision coverage
  • NYC office, in-person

About Cofia

Cofia is building AI automations that write themselves. We observe how people work — through network traffic and system events, not screen recordings — and automatically identify, describe, and generate the repetitive workflows they do every day.
