Founding engineer

pIndustry runs on what it buys: materials, ingredients, chemicals, packaging, freight, machines, services. That spend decides whether a plant makes money, and in most companies it is still managed through inboxes, spreadsheets, and ERP screens designed decades ago. We think it is one of the largest pools of recoverable waste in the economy. /ppThe best manufacturers treat cost as an engineering problem: every line item has to justify itself. Envoy brings that discipline to procurement. We build the AI-native procurement workspace: one place for buyers to identify, plan, execute, govern, and measure work across their spend base, with agents that work inside the customer's real ERP, P2P, file, email, and supplier context to turn an opportunity into a measured outcome. /ppWe start where procurement is most operational and least served by software: the physical spend that keeps plants running and products moving. This is an unsolved problem. Join us if you want to help us solve it. /ph3How we build /h3pOur current product is built with TypeScript, React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS, Postgres, Drizzle, the Vercel AI SDK, and background workflows. The stack will change as the product needs it; sound judgement and the ability to learn matter more than matching every tool today. /ph3Engineering at Envoy /h3pEngineers here do not receive a finished specification and disappear into a codebase. You will help discover the problem, understand the evidence and authority a buyer needs, choose the smallest product shape that removes the most waste, and then build it across the stack. /ppThe work moves between polished product surfaces and deep systems: agent tools, workflows, approvals, files, supplier communications, integrations, and the audit trail that connects an action to an outcome. /ph3What you will do /h3ulliOwn product areas end-to-end, from customer problem to production outcome. /liliWork directly with procurement teams to understand messy category and supplier workflows. /liliBuild buyer-facing screens in React and Next.js with attention to clarity and detail. /liliDesign agent workflows that cite evidence, respect authority boundaries, and surface the right human decisions. /liliWork across application code, Postgres data models, integrations, background jobs, and AI systems when the problem demands it. /liliImprove reliability, performance, observability, and evaluation as Envoy takes on more autonomous work. /liliHelp decide what to build, what not to build, and how the engineering team should operate as it grows. /li /ulh3What we are looking for /h3ulli3+ years of experience shipping high-quality software across front
- and backend boundaries. /liliStrong product judgement: you can turn an ambiguous workflow into a useful, coherent product. /liliDeep fluency with TypeScript, React, and modern web systems, plus comfort with data and backend work. /liliThe independence to move fast by default and the judgement to slow down when correctness, trust, or customer authority demands it. /liliCare for the details, from a clear empty state to a durable data model or a well-designed agent evaluation. /liliComfort talking to users, testing your assumptions, and changing your mind when the evidence changes. /liliInterest in applied AI systems; experience with agents, tool use, evals, or enterprise workflows is a bonus, not a gate. /li /ulh3What

we offer
/h3pYou will work close to customers and the founders. /pulliTop-of-market pay: we want the best people in the field and we pay like it, with proactive salary revisions and bonuses rather than waiting for you to ask. /liliEquity: you are joining the company at an early stage, so you will own a meaningful share of the company. /liliA high talent bar: operate with an experienced founding team that prioritizes individual development, ownership and direct feedback. /li /ul
