Forward Deployed Engineer

The Role

One of our first engineers.

Own core systems alongside the founders.

Temper is an agentic integration platform for the real economy. Specialized AI agents gather requirements in plain English, generate integration code, test it, deploy it, and keep it alive in production. You own core systems end-to-end alongside the founders: agent platform, infrastructure, and the integrations runtime.

The tech

These are not chatbots or thin wrappers on an LLM. The agents do actual work with actual consequences in production: agent orchestration across specialized agents, a mini Vercel for integration runtime with durable execution, self-healing systems, and a knowledge base that gets smarter with every integration.

What you would do

01Own core systems end-to-end. Agent platform, infrastructure, and the integrations runtime.

02Set the engineering patterns. Everything every future hire builds on starts with you.

03Work directly with the founders. Ship to production constantly and help shape the whole system.

You might be a fit if

🚀

You have shipped real things end-to-end, multiple times. Owned them, not just contributed.

🤖

You code with AI agents and lean into it, but have the taste not to ship slop.

💡

Strong technical opinions, held loosely. You change your mind when the evidence says so.

⚡

You want a true early-stage, in-person experience in San Francisco: fast-paced, high intensity.
