As the second engineer, you'll own core real-time voice→intent→action systems, design APIs/services for long-running stateful agent tasks, ship polished user-facing features, and improve reliability, observability, and performance. You will influence product direction and company culture while operating end-to-end from design through production and iteration.

You’ll be our second engineer, working directly with Caddy’s founders on core architecture, product direction, and execution. If you’re excited about real-time systems, agentic workflows, and building a product you’ll use every day, you’ll have outsized impact here.
You will own large, ambiguous problems end-to-end: from choosing the approach to shipping new features, operating them in production, and iterating based on user feedback.
We work in person out of our SoHo office.
- Obsessed with building a product that not only our users love, but that you love and want to use every day
- Can make and defend thoughtful product and technical tradeoffs
- Thrive in ambiguity and default to ownership
- Care about correctness, performance, and user experience
- Move fast and with intention
- Strong opinions, loosely held
- Own core systems for real-time voice → intent → action workflows
- Design APIs/services for long-running, stateful agent tasks
- Ship user-facing features with strong quality and polish
- Improve reliability, observability, and performance as we scale
- Help set product direction and company culture as the team grows
Our tech stack is pragmatic and evolving. We care more about strong fundamentals than specific tools.
- TypeScript (required)
- Swift, Objective-C (bonus)
The base pay range for this role is $120,000 – $180,000 per year.
