Founding Engineer, Platform

📋 Job Overview

You own the engine that runs every customer workflow: scheduling, queues, retries, provider integrations, and cost and reliability at scale. When a paying customer's run fails, it's your system and your fix. You'll be one of the first engineers and shape how the platform is built from here.

🏢 About Freckle

Freckle is the data and workflow layer for GTM teams. Users tell an agent in Claude, Codex or our app what they want, and Freckle builds and runs it: pulling lists, enriching them across dozens of data providers, scoring with AI agents, and writing results back to the CRM. We compete head to head with Clay and win, and Series A+ teams like Bolt.new run their GTM on us.

You own the engine that runs every customer workflow: scheduling, queues, retries, provider integrations, and cost and reliability at scale. When a paying customer's run fails, it's your system and your fix. You'll be one of the first engineers and shape how the platform is built from here.

✅ Key Responsibilities

• Build and harden integrations with dozens of data providers: rate limits, concurrency, failures, cost per call

• Scale Postgres and Redis as volume grows
• Use coding agents heavily and own the judgment on what they produce

📌 Required Qualifications

• Have built job systems, queues or data pipelines that ran in production at real volume
