Founding Engineer

About the role

We're hiring a Founding Engineer to build the agentic platform that runs the next generation of consumer brands.

🚀 The Opportunity

Corvera is the AI sales agent for CPG brands.

A brand's next sale might be hiding in an account that stopped ordering, a core SKU missing from shelves, or a distributor running low on stock. The evidence is scattered across distributor feeds, retailer portals, syndicated data and ERPs. Corvera brings it together and identifies what actions the sales team should do next, and soon - executes those actions autonomously.

Our near-term ambition: enable the next billion-dollar CPG brand to be built by fewer than 10 people.

There is serious engineering between here and there. That's the opportunity.

📈 Where We Are Now

- Backed by Y Combinator (W26), top 10% of the batch

- $0 to $35K MRR in 2 months, with customer demand outpacing capacity. Our plan is to grow 20% MoM all of next year and beyond.

- $6.3M raised since October 2025, from leading VCs such as Firstminute Capital, 6 Degrees Capital, 20VC, Rebel Fund, and Y Combinator

We've proven the urgency. Now we need your help to build the platform that scales it 100x.

🧠 The Role

We’re looking for an experienced engineer who wants to solve hard problems, write the code, and help shape both the platform and the company.

You’ll wear many hats: architect, product engineer, data engineer, SRE, FDE, AI engineer, and the person who digs into a production failure and fixes it properly. One week you might redesign how we connect a new data source; the next, ship an agent capability or make our infrastructure ready for the next wave of customers. You’ll take work from an ambiguous problem to a solution customers depend on.

And you’ll raise the bar for engineering excellence. Through the systems you build, the decisions you challenge, and the standards you put into practice, you’ll help us become a team that consistently ships exceptional work. We want your experience, your judgment, and your ambition in the room - and your code in production.

🛠 What You'll Actually Build

You’ll help us solve hard engineering problems including:

- Enterprise integrations, productized. NetSuite, Shopify, Xero, Walmart, Target, Amazon, ShipHero, and many more - wrapped behind one provider interface and exposed to the agent through MCP, with in-loop credential refresh.

- Orchestration that never drops the ball. Schedules, retries, durable execution, full run history, replay, alerts, version control. Every workflow is observable and recoverable - so a Wednesday failure isn't discovered on Friday.

- Ontology - the brand's business model in writing. A queryable, governed source of truth for what each customer actually means by "forecast", "SKU", or "fiscal year-end". Mappings, calendar rules, metric definitions, constraints, full lineage back to the source file and download time. You'll design the schema and the APIs agents query against it - so business logic stops being re-derived in every spreadsheet.
