Company mission
To turn hidden team knowledge into smart playbooks that power better automation.
Role
Who you are
- We're looking for Full Stack Engineers who care deeply about the craft of building software: strong typing, thoughtful API design, robust data modeling, and interfaces that are a pleasure for both users and other engineers to work with
- 3+ years of experience in software engineering (but a computer science degree is not necessarily required)
- A love of writing Python and TypeScript to a genuinely high standard–well-modeled, well-typed, and well-documented. Strong typing feels like a superpower, not a chore
- You light up when designing a clean database schema and take real pride in getting data models right
- You have good visual and interaction judgment, even if you're not a designer by title
- You've built libraries, SDKs, or internal tooling that made other developers' lives easier (and you’ve enjoyed it)
- You're at your best when you own a problem end to end–comfortable with ambiguity and energized by turning a vague problem into a well-scoped solution
- You're drawn to building foundational systems from scratch–greenfield work where your decisions compound over time excites you
- Don't meet all of the above? We'd still love to hear from you. We're looking for exceptional people with unique skills and interests, and we know that great people have different backgrounds and skillsets. If your primary interest is building agentic systems, working with LLMs, or doing applied ML, check out our AI Engineering role–it might be a better fit
What the job involves
- You won't be building AI models–you'll be building everything around them: the platform, workflows, user-facing experiences, integrations, and observability that make our AI useful in the real world
- As an early engineer at Edra, you'll shape not just the product but the engineering culture, tooling choices, and technical foundations the company is built on
- We work deliberately and deeply. There's no separation between "building it" and "shipping it"--you'll go from whiteboard to production and own the outcome. We'd rather build something thoughtfully than ship something fragile, and we treat velocity and quality as complementary, not competing
- Design and build platform systems in Python (FastAPI)--from API contracts to database schema and infrastructure–and high-quality user-facing experiences in TypeScript and React, with an emphasis on clean component design, strong typing, and maintainable frontends
- Build shared TypeScript and Python libraries, component systems, and internal tooling that make the rest of the engineering team more productive. Define and enforce patterns, shared types, and contracts across the frontend and API boundary
- Own your work fully: gather context, manage dependencies, and drive tasks to completion without a product manager handing you tickets. You might design a schema in the morning, build a React component in the afternoon, and debug a deployment issue before end of day
- Contribute to the direction and design of our product. Work closely with design, reason clearly about interface decisions, and participate in weekly product meetings to understand how customers and forward-deployed engineers use what you build
- Build and maintain connectors, integrations, and data pipelines that connect our platform to external systems
- Have direct influence on technical direction; choose tools, set patterns, and establish conventions the team will build on for years. Collaborate daily with a small, high-caliber team of engineers and AI specialists
Our take
Often, businesses rely on unwritten knowledge which of course, makes automation pretty tough. Because of this, AI is struggling to improve what it doesn't understand.
Edra, still in stealth and founded by ex-Palantir leads, is stepping in to turn everyday data into living playbooks. The company claims these playbooks don't just make copies but help businesses do better. And with no overhaul required, Edra works on top of existing tools and learns as it goes, making it a promising fit for teams looking to scale smarter.
While there isn't much out there about the company yet, what its building is hoping to reshape how companies think about scale, process, and tribal knowledge.
