About the role
Kya is the system of action for AI success. We help teams turn intent into reliable, auditable work — not another dashboard to babysit.
As a founding product engineer, you will own major product surfaces from first sketch to production. You will work directly with customers, ship fast, and set the technical bar for how we build.
What you'll do
Design and ship core product features across the agent builder, runtime, and customer-facing workflows.
Build reliable systems that handle real customer data, permissions, and integrations at scale.
Partner with design on interaction details and with go-to-market on what customers need next.
Write code you are proud of — clear abstractions, strong types, and tests where they earn their keep.
What we're looking for
Strong full-stack experience with TypeScript and modern web frameworks.
Track record of owning product work end to end, not just tickets in a backlog.
Comfort with ambiguity and a bias toward shipping over perfecting.
Care about craft — the details that make software feel considered, not assembled.
