Hermes Web is looking for a founding engineer to build the first polished, hosted personal AI agent product. This is a fully remote, product-focused position with a compressed sprint cadence. The engineer will own product and engineering end-to-end, ship consumer-grade polish in a space that's still raw, and help define what a mainstream AI agent product looks like.
Requirements
- High agency, ship fast without hand-holding
- Strong Python skills — FastAPI or similar production web framework experience required
- Strong frontend skills (React, Next.js, TypeScript) for the chat, memory, and activity surfaces
- Experience with auth, billing, and multi-tenancy in production products
- Container orchestration experience (Kubernetes, Nomad, ECS, or equivalent)
- Experience with AI-native tools (Cursor, Claude Code, model APIs)
- Knowledge of agents, LLM gateways, rate limiting, and abuse prevention
- Comfortable working across frontend, backend, infrastructure, and AI workflows
