Senior Engineer, Backend/Infra

AgentMail is the email inbox API for AI agents. It gives agents their own email inboxes, like Gmail does for humans.

Unlike other email APIs, AgentMail provides fully-managed, persistent inboxes that handle parsing, threading, labeling, searching, and replying so agents get the same email experience as humans.

Email is critical to identity and communication on the internet. Much of the context that people use for their work exists within email. AgentMail enables AI agents to meet people where they work and use the internet like humans do.

Our team is from Optiver, Nvidia, and Accel and we are backed by Y Combinator, General Catalyst, Paul Graham, Paul Copplestone, and Karim Atiyeh.

AgentMail is building the identity and communication infrastructure for AI agents, starting with email. We are looking for a Senior Engineer with backend and infra focus to architect systems for agents as the end users.

Responsibilities:

• Design APIs that are intuitive for both humans and LLMs
• Architect high-throughput, low-latency systems
• Write and review clean, idiomatic code
• Maintain comprehensive documentation
• Lead and manage a team of 4-6 engineers

Qualifications:

• Has 3+ years of work experience as an engineer working on infrastructure at a tech company
• Has architected software used in production by millions of users

Compensation:

• $250k - $400k base salary
• 1.0% - 2.0% equity
• Breakfast, lunch, and dinner (Doordash)
• Medical, dental, and vision insurance
• Equinox membership

Built on AWS, utilizing services including API Gateway, Lambda, Dynamo, S3, and SQS.

Infrastructure is configured entirely with Pulumi. Code is written entirely in Typescript.

We think deeply about system architecture as we are designing for a new class of users: AI agents.
