Member of Technical Staff

Arzana is building the autonomous operating system for US manufacturers. It’s an ERP with the back-office of custom agents built in that automatically make quotes, enter orders, schedule jobs, purchase materials, process invoices, and arrange logistics. We’re growing 75% month-over-month and looking for engineers that thrive in fast moving, 70-80 hour week, high-ownership roles.

As a founding engineer, you will work directly with the CTO to build agents and configure our ERP platform for customer-specific applications. You’ll also contribute to the onboarding agent that takes in terabytes of a customer’s historical data and task mining videos and autonomously builds their custom agent / ERP.

This is a high-ownership role for someone excited to operate across product, engineering, and customer workflows from day one.

What you’ll do

• • Extend existing agents to support more customer configurations, edge cases, and backend integrations

• Build entirely new agent types from scratch

• Build custom neural net models, fine-tune LLMs and VLMs on factory data to replicate expert human operator actions and orchestrate business and production workflows

• Translate human-described business workflows into clean chains of extraction, reasoning, and action nodes

• Wire agents into external APIs and operational systems

• Own technical decisions across the agents’ platform, from architecture through implementation

• Work directly with the CEO on product direction, roadmap, and prioritization

• Help build out the team and manage future engineers as the company grows

What we’re looking for

Experience working in or closely with manufacturing environments: We’re talking gritty, old school manufacturers in rural areas. Translating their non-technical description of a specific workflow into a reliable agent requires learning to speak their language, ask the right questions, and above all, commit massive amounts of information to memory in a short period of time.

Experience taking an agent product or agent workflow from zero to production, including building, shipping, and deploying it, whether as a personal project or in a company setting

• Strong builder instincts and a high degree of ownership and autonomy. We’re a team of hackers with a “if you can think it you can build it” mentality

• Excitement for turning ambiguous business processes into reliable software systems

• Comfort operating across the stack, from frontend usability to backend architecture and integrations

• Strong product sense and the ability to make good decisions with incomplete information, and know when you don’t have enough information and what questions to ask.

• Ability to move quickly, handle edge cases, and improve systems through iteration

Why this role is exciting

This is not a narrow implementation role. You’ll be defining how our platform works at its core: how it ingests information, reasons across fragmented systems, and executes real workflows reliably. You’ll have direct influence over both the technical architecture and the product itself.
