Full Time
GRIT, a D2C startup founded by MIT mechanical engineers, is a mission-driven company empowering people with disabilities to live an active lifestyle through innovative mobility solutions. Our flagship product, the GRIT Freedom Chair all-terrain wheelchair, is a testament to our commitment to thoughtful design and community partnership, used by over 1000 riders. We believe in amplifying individual potential and enabling people to move beyond their limitations.
Grit is on a mission to crush technical debt.
We believe that a big challenge in the next decade will be crumbling digital infrastructure. Our entire modern economy runs on code, but we haven’t developed appropriate tools to ensure software remains reliable over time.
Companies know that technical debt threatens the reliability of their services and slows down the pace of innovation, but struggle to find enough engineering talent to fix issues—most software maintenance today is still done manually and delayed as long as possible.
We believe there is a better way: we’re building AI bots that automatically maintain software through a combination of static analysis, our own query language, and machine learning.
Founders Fund and Abstract Ventures led our $7M seed round and we have many paying customers on our beta product. Our team is currently 5 engineers.
As an early engineer, you will have a huge impact on the engineering decisions that set us up for the future. You’ll work directly with Morgante on designing and developing the GritQL language toolchain in Rust.
This involves solving problems at the intersection of language design, static analysis, machine learning, and developer experience. If you like doing the hard work to build a magical developer experience and are equally excited by research papers and products, this role is for you.
We believe that the most impactful work is done through high bandwidth in-person collaboration, particularly at an early-stage company. Most of the team works from our NYC office, near Union Square. Exceptions are possible for candidates with a demonstrated track record in related fields.
