Full description
Senior Software Engineer, AI Agents
TL;DR:
• Own the architecture of the agent platform that runs marketing for brands like AG1, Harry's, Grüns and Liquid I.V.
• Lead a small engineering team while staying a strong individual contributor
• $5M ARR, 5x'ing this year, consistently cash-flow positive, YC-backed. In person in Lehi, UT.
What is Zaymo?
Zaymo builds the tools AI agents use to do marketing, for the largest ecommerce brands in the world. ~500 brands, including Grüns, Harry's, AG1 and Liquid I.V. (Unilever), run on Zaymo.
Our wedge is interactive email. We made emails work like websites: shoppers buy, swap or skip a subscription without leaving the inbox. It closes 75%+ of the brands we pitch and put us inside the email programs of hundreds of the best brands in ecommerce. (That's what you'll see on our website today.)
What's next is agents. Brands pay agencies ~$70k a year to run email, and the good ones run one or two tests a month. Our agents audit the program, write and design on-brand campaigns, QA them, and run hundreds of experiments optimized for profit, not just revenue. We build for the agent a marketer already uses (Claude, via MCP), not yet another chatbot.
Why Zaymo?
• 🚀 Growth: $5M ARR today, on track to 5x this year and reach $20M next year
• 🏦 Efficient: Raised ~$2M and consistently cash-flow positive. We never need to raise to stay alive.
• 📦 Real scale: 100M+ orders a year flow through our brands, and tens of millions of shoppers interact with Zaymo emails every month
• 🛠️ Team: 19 people (ex. Harvard, Cornell, NASA, Route, Weave, Levo), backed by Y Combinator and the co-founder of YouTube
What you'll own
• The architecture of our agent platform: a shared brand-intelligence layer (voice, products, offers, customer data, past performance), an orchestrator that plans and tracks work, and specialist agents for auditing, creative, QA and analytics
• The tools that let agents take real, safe actions in Klaviyo, Shopify and Recharge on behalf of brands doing hundreds of millions in revenue
• The data and experimentation platform behind our LTV tests
• Raising the engineering bar: reviews, mentorship, and turning roadmap bets into shipped product
Stack: TypeScript end to end: React Router, Supabase/Postgres, ClickHouse, Vercel, AI SDK, Claude, MCP.
