Original posting

Mechanize | Software Engineer | San Francisco (onsite preferred), REMOTE (US) | $300k-$600k | https://www.mechanize.work We're creating high-fidelity virtual work environments, benchmarks, and datasets to enable AI agents to master real-world jobs—starting with full-stack software engineering. Our mission is to develop the infrastructure that will enable the full automation of the economy. Unlike traditional AI approaches, we're focused on creating simulated environments that capture the full scope of what humans do at work: using computers, completing long-horizon tasks, coordinating with others, and adapting to obstacles and interruptions. As our second full-stack engineer, you'll: - Build our core simulation platform (containerized environments for AI agents) - Design realistic evaluation scenarios for software engineering tasks - Develop consumer web apps for our environment - Establish engineering standards, and directly shape technical direction at an early-stage startup You might be a fit if you: - Have 5+ years building full-stack products - Write fluent TypeScript (React) and Python - Are comfortable with Docker and Kubernetes-based environments - Enjoy close user collaboration and rapid iteration Bonus: Container orchestration, developer tools, or ML/RL experience.
