Requirements and responsibilities


About UsCopilotKit is the #1 open-source platform for building AI Copilots — intelligent agents designed to work with users inside of real applications. In our first two years, we’ve delivered the fastest growing Javascript AI framework of all time, and built a vibrant community (40k+ GitHub stars, millions of weekly installs, 10s of millions of copilot interactions, double-digit MoM growth), are already monetizing at the enterprise level, and are used by companies ranging from startups to Fortune 100s (including production usage by over 10% of Fortune 500s).We’re emerging as the default for a critical part of the AI stack: the agent/user interaction layer. CopilotKit brings agents out of demos and terminals and into production, through deep integrations with the leading AI infrastructure companies and hyper-scalers (including the leading AI/infra teams at Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, LangChain, Mastra, Pydantic, Agno, and others).Our small, fast-moving team is building the agentic application platform that will define how user-interactive AI actually manifests in the real world. This is a unique opportunity to join as an early leader on one of the most complex and high-leverage surfaces in AI — with significant scope for technical, product, and leadership growth.The RoleYou'll build the core infrastructure powering the next generation of AI-native applications. This is a deeply technical role designing TypeScript & Python SDKs, real-time systems, and developer-facing abstractions used by tens of thousands of engineers.You'll work upstream of our headless UI layer, collaborating with leading AI infrastructure teams and hyperscalers to make integrating AI copilots seamless. You'll own systems end-to-end and help shape how production-grade AI agents interact with users.We're Looking for Pilots, Not Just MechanicsWe need engineers who think at the level of systems and outcomes. You're fluent in AI-assisted development as your primary mode of working—directing AI to generate, refactor, and explore while evaluating outputs and course-correcting in real time. You've shipped meaningful work this way and understand that great developer infrastructure requires this higher-level perspective.What You'll DoDesign high-quality TypeScript & Python SDKs that elegantly abstract complexity while preserving controlBuild reusable components and maintain clean, intuitive APIsDrive projects independently through ambiguity with strong technical judgmentContribute to our open-source ecosystem and engage with our developer communityOptimize performance and ensure scalability at production scaleWhat We're Looking ForTrack record building developer tools, SDKs, or libraries used by engineering teamsDeep TypeScript expertise (3+ years) with React and Node.js experienceExperience designing clean APIs and navigating fast-moving, ambiguous environmentsAI-native workflow: You actively use AI tools (Copilot, Cursor, Claude, etc.) for architecture exploration, refactoring, and rapid prototyping—not just autocomplete; you think at the level of systems and outcomes, directing AI to generate and explore while evaluating outputs criticallyClear communication and high degree of independenceBonus PointsReact infrastructure work, LLM integration, or AI product surfacesPython experience, open-source contributions, or functional reactive programmingExperience with agent runtimes, real-time systems, or maintaining public APIsWhy Join UsWork on foundational AI tech: Build the infrastructure powering the next wave of user-facing, AI-native applicationsShip from zero-to-one: Join early enough to shape the product, architecture, and engineering culture while riding the wave of real traction and momentumBe surrounded by top talent: Join an A+ team and collaborate with world-class engineers, researchers, and AI infra leadersMake open-source impact: Build in public with a fast-growing, engaged developer communityOwn meaningful upside: Competitive salary and real equity with early-stage ownership and line-of-sight to value creationBuild your network: Daily and weekly work alongside the most important teams of the world’s most important companies; on the infrastructure side, the ai/infra teams of Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Oracle, Langchain, Mastra, Pydantic, Agno, and others; on the customer side, the leading ai product initiatives of the world’s top enterprisesGreat benefits: 100% health coverage for employees, 50% for dependents, Dental and Vision insurance, competitive paid time offRemote-first, high-agency culture: Flexible work, no micromanagement, and full trust and ownershipHelp define a new category: Shape the direction of a fast-growing, well-funded startup building a core layer of the future AI stackWe’re looking for builders with a bias toward ownership: engineers who thrive in ambiguity, love solving hard problems, and want to help create something genuinely new. You’re joining at the inflection point: product-market fit is real, momentum is strong, and the most meaningful technical decisions are still ahead.
