Overview: As the digital landscape evolves, we at AgentMail are at the forefront of a revolution that empowers AI agents with their own identities and communication tools. Our mission is to create solutions in an uncharted territory, where the challenge is to build something that truly resonates with agents as the new citizens of the internet. If you thrive in innovative environments and enjoy taking projects from inception to execution, we want to hear from you.
About AgentMail: We are pioneering an API that transforms traditional email into a robust communication platform for AI agents. This is not merely AI applied to email; it's a groundbreaking approach to integrate email functionality directly into AI.
We are seeking a founding engineer with a strong foundation in backend systems and infrastructure to develop the fundamental tools that agents will rely on for communication, authentication, and real-world operation.

Explosive Growth: Since January, we have doubled our user base every two weeks and anticipate continued rapid expansion as the demand for AI agents skyrockets.
Unique Market Position: We are the only provider of identity solutions for AI agents, akin to how Gmail serves human users.
Your Role:
Design APIs and abstractions that are user-friendly for both humans and AI agents.
Develop high-performance, low-latency systems with a focus on agent user experience.
Engage directly with our core infrastructure, which processes hundreds of thousands of emails daily.
Innovate by merging cutting-edge AI capabilities with traditional email solutions.
Take ownership of projects from design through to production deployment.
Produce clear, maintainable code accompanied by thorough technical documentation.
Act as a liaison for customer feedback, representing their needs within our team.
