About the Role

We're looking for our first Founding Engineer to help build the future of infrastructure tooling with us in San Francisco. As a critical early hire, you'll own our product end-to-end-from frontend interfaces and backend APIs to infrastructure, CLIs, and open-source tooling. If you're excited about shaping developer experiences and building with and for the community, this role is for you.

This position is deeply technical and product-focused. You will play a pivotal role in shaping both our open-source and commercial offerings and working closely with the founding team to define the product roadmap.

What You'll Work On

  • Build and scale our core open-source infrastructure automation tooling (currently the highest priority).
  • Own the development and architecture of end-to-end product features across our stack : React, TypeScript, Go , and various DevOps tooling.
  • Triage and resolve issues raised by our growing OSS community.
  • Collaborate with users and contributors to ensure the product meets real-world developer and infrastructure engineer needs.
  • Help define engineering culture, best practices, and internal processes.
  • Contribute to or lead high-impact initiatives such as new product lines, performance optimizations, and integrations with tools like Terraform, Kubernetes, and AWS .

You Might Be a Fit If You...

  • Have 2-8 years of experience as a fullstack product engineer building 0→1 products.
  • Previously worked at a VC-backed startup (Seed-Series B) in a fast-paced, product-driven environment.
  • Are passionate about DevTools , infrastructure , or open-source software .
  • Have deep experience or genuine interest in IaC / DevOps / SRE tooling like Terraform, Kubernetes, AWS, Pulumi, and Golang.
  • Are comfortable working across the stack and picking up new tools and languages as needed.
  • Can design and implement clean, performant UIs and appreciate developer ergonomics.
  • Take initiative, are user-driven, and enjoy working closely with other engineers, founders, and external contributors.
  • Bonus Points For...

  • Previous role as a CTO or Founding Engineer .
  • Prior contributions to open-source projects or leadership in OSS communities.
  • Education from top CS / math / startup schools (e.g., Berkeley, Stanford, Harvard, Waterloo ).
  • Interest in working at the intersection of AI, developer experience, and infrastructure .
  • Our Stack

  • Frontend : React, TypeScript
  • Backend : Go
  • Infra & DevTools : GitHub, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform
  • About Us

    We're the team behind Digger, an AI agent for DevOps : smart enough for developers to abstract away infrastructure, and secure enough for infra engineers to trust. We've already shipped a popular open-source runner for IaC, and co-founded OpenTofu , an MPL fork of Terraform.

    Company Highlights :

  • Founded in 2020
  • Backed by top-tier investors (raised $3.3M)
  • Team of 6, based in SF
  • OSS-first mindset and community-driven approach
