About the role
IMPORTANT: the best way to apply is by submitting a video application by following the instructions on our jobs page here.
At Tasklet, we're building the cloud agent OS for work. Our agents are a complex orchestration of LLMs, virtual machines, storage infrastructure, external integrations, triggers, and other systems that all work together to make AI feel like magic.
We're looking for a staff-level software engineer to help us design & build the next generation of our core agent infrastructure. This is a leadership role with generous equity intended for a truly exceptional candidate.
Compensation
- $280k → $380k salary
- 0.4% → 0.8% equity
- Competitive benefits (medical, dental, vision, 401k, 4 weeks PTO, free lunch, etc)
Responsibilities
- Own the architecture & continuous improvement of core parts of our agent's technical infrastructure
- Identify, design, build, ship, and improve new agent features
- Become a world expert at context engineering, including following the latest research & tech. Do whatever is needed to keep us at the frontier.
- Define abstractions that enable the entire team to ship rapidly and reliably on top of your code
- Step up to solve challenges wherever needed—this is a startup, and we're all in it together!
Our ideal candidate
- Very strong CS fundamentals & a systems engineering or distributed systems background
- Exceptional, AI-native programming skills using an ultra-modern stack
- You were the technical lead for a large scale cloud system that's currently in production
- You're AGI-pilled & deep into relevant AI tech. You're currently building an AI agent system.
- You could easily be an engineering leader on an agent product at a top AI lab — but you want the outsized impact of a startup and you believe Tasklet can win.

About Tasklet
Tasklet is building the cloud agent OS for knowledge work. Instead of switching between dozens of SaaS apps, our users connect one AI agent to all their tools and let it handle their work — pulling data, taking actions, generating UIs on the fly, and running 24/7 in the cloud.
We've raised $29.5M from Union Square Ventures, Lightspeed, Y Combinator, Jeff Dean, and Patrick & John Collison. Our team of 9 in San Francisco is led by Andrew Lee (founded Firebase, sold to Google) and Jonny Dimond, and includes engineers from Google, Amazon, and OpenAI.
We're growing fast, shipping constantly, and competing directly with the AI labs to build the agent platform that replaces legacy application software. Nearly every line of code here is written with AI — we're an engineer-driven team that believes deeply in giving models more agency and using them to multiply what a small team can do.
