At Tasklet (https://tasklet.ai/), we're building the world's most powerful AI agent platform for business automation.

We're looking for a staff-level software engineer to share technical leadership of our core agent infrastructure. You'll architect systems for multi-step agent orchestration, state management, trigger systems, and seamless integration with thousands of APIs.

Our stack: TypeScript, React, GCP, Kubernetes, Claude

Looking for: 5+ years experience building production-scale systems, proven technical leadership, experience building AI agents, exceptional programming skills across the full stack.

Compensation: $260k-$330k salary + 0.8-1.6% equity, competitive benefits including medical, dental, vision, 401k, 4 weeks PTO

Apply: https://shortwave.notion.site/Open-Positions-at-Tasklet-2a36...

So we gave the Tasklet agent a filesystem, shell, code runtime, general purpose triggering system, etc so that it could build the automation system it needed.

We use an agent for execution -- so the LLM decides what to do at every step. No flowchart at all -- just text instructions.

We’re building Cursor for business communications (starting with email)

We’re currently growing revenue very quickly and are looking to more than double our team in the next 3 months. Hiring AI agent engineers, product engineers, frontend engineers, designers, and customer service & growth content roles. Aggressive comp.

I previously founded Firebase & sold it to Google. Shortwave is going to be much bigger.

We’re building the [“strong form”](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ZpJXHiPwtQ&t=498s) AI agent app for business communications. We’re focusing on email initially, as it’s (1) ubiquitous (2) open and (3) has a diverse set of valuable business data. In the future we plan to expand beyond email to include all essential business communications tools, including Slack, Teams, CRMs, document platforms, project management tools, and so on.

Most people’s experience with AI today involves copy & pasting content back and forth from ChatGPT. Not only is this a terrible UX — it severely limits the transformative potential of AI.

Our goal is to unlock 10x (or greater) productivity gains for the average business user by bringing cutting edge AI together with their business communications in a single app designed for effective human-AI collaboration. With Shortwave, users can give the AI access to all of their data and then allow it to take action while still maintaining total control over its output.

I previously founded Firebase and sold it to Google. This time we're taking it to IPO :)

The nice thing about this is that it's editable, so the user can customize the style to be the style they want, not necessarily exactly the style they have.

We're also investigating doing per-user model training for more refined voice... not launched yet though (and comes with tradeoffs).
