Description For Founding Systems Engineer

Layup is an innovative startup revolutionizing AI-native UX experiences with their groundbreaking real-time, adaptive assistance technology. Founded in 2022, they're creating a system that guides users through product interfaces using a second cursor, eliminating the need for traditional product tours and help center content while requiring zero engineering overhead.

As a Founding Systems Engineer, you'll be at the forefront of transforming how users interact with software products. This role offers a unique opportunity to work directly with the founding team in a fast-paced environment, where you'll own the entire software development lifecycle and shape the engineering culture from the ground up.

The ideal candidate should have experience with large-scale distributed systems and a passion for building scalable infrastructure. You'll be working at the intersection of B2B and AI, helping to define new paradigms for human-AI interaction. The position offers competitive compensation ($100K-$120K plus equity), comprehensive benefits, and the chance to make a significant impact in a growing startup.

The company has already launched successfully and has a substantial backlog of implementations, indicating strong market demand. Working at Layup means joining a small but dynamic team of 3, where your contributions will directly influence the company's direction and success. If you're excited about building the next generation of user adoption tools and want to be part of a transformative technology company, this role presents an exceptional opportunity to shape the future of software user experience.
