Founding Engineer (Full Time)— SF, in-person, paid + room & board (YC S26)

Cerenovus is building AI agents that turn enterprise communications (email, Slack, docs, CRM) into a living knowledge graph. As a founding engineer, you will build multi-agent ingestion pipelines, perform entity resolution, and orchestrate agents on Claude with an unlimited token budget. You'll own systems end-to-end in a fast-paced YC startup environment.

• Build multi-agent ingestion pipelines: email/Slack/CRM/accounting → knowledge graph. Do entity resolution and systems-mapping inference over messy real-world enterprise data. Orchestrate agents on Claude, with an effectively unlimited token budget. Own systems end to end — code you write Monday is in front of a customer Friday.

• Strong CS fundamentals — shown through coursework, competitions (USACO/ICPC/CTF), research, or shipped projects. Systems-level thinking: you reason in dataflows and failure modes, not just features. High agency — you've built and shipped things nobody assigned you. Solid in Python and TypeScript/React. Hands-on experience with LLM agents (orchestration, tool use, evals) is a big plus.

• Rust or other systems experience is a plus. Hands-on experience with LLM agents (orchestration, tool use, evals) is a big plus.
