Job Description

About Olive

We’re building the fastest way for companies to create internal tools—just by describing what they need in natural language.

From sales dashboards to trust & safety workflows, internal tools are the operational backbone at modern companies. But building them is still slow, repetitive, and a drain on engineering time.

We’re changing that. Olive takes a prompt and creates full-stack, functional internal tools connected to company data in minutes. Our platform leverages LLMs and code generation to create rich, production-grade tools that unlock new levels of insight and execution.

We’ve raised a $2.1M seed round from incredible investors and angels and are now scaling our team.

This is an opportunity to build something difficult but game-changing, with speed and immense focus. If that excites you, please apply.

The Job

We’re looking for a founding engineer who is incredibly technical, scrappy, and excited to push the limits of robust full-stack software creation with AI. We’re a small team and super excited about what we’re building.

You will:

  • Ship fast, building on top of LLMs and creating agentic workflows to handle code generation, deployment, tool usage, and more for enterprise use cases

  • Create end-to-end features across our stack: React (Vite + Tanstack) frontend, Node.js backend (tRPC), Postgres database 

  • Help us build a world-class engineering culture prioritizing curiosity, quality, and speed

  • Craft delightful product experiences powered by serious technical depth

You’re a great fit if you’re…

  • Extremely technical, with a track record of deep, impressive projects or experience (startup or career experience, open source, side projects, etc.)

  • Comfortable navigating ambiguity and owning product decisions

  • Interested in startups and potentially starting one in the future; ambitious and obsessive over what you build. You care deeply about everything that you put out.

  • Communicative, not afraid to be opinionated, intense, and fun to work with :)

  • (Great to have) Experience with code generation, ML/AI, agentic workflows
