Note: The job is a remote job and is open to candidates in USA. Outpost is an AI-native marketing company focused on Reddit. The Founding Staff Engineer will be the first full-time product engineer, building systems that improve agency delivery efficiency and developing a customer-facing Reddit marketing product. The role includes end-to-end product development, production LLM implementation, and ownership of cloud infrastructure, data, and deployments.
Responsibilities
- First, it supports our delivery. As an agency, every hour a person spends on a client is a real cost, and the product aims to reduce it. It surfaces only the threads worth acting on, learns a subreddit's culture and drafts in the brand's voice. It includes quality checks before anything goes live and provides operational tooling for marketers running the accounts. Every bit of leverage you build here improves our margin and increases how many clients one person can handle
- Second, it is the product our customers use directly. Today customers see only reporting, but they should see the entire channel: what buyers are saying about them, where they stand against competitors, which threads moved their search positions and AI citations, and what to do next. This is the piece that turns an agency into a company with a product
Skills
- Staff-level full stack engineering. You have designed, shipped and owned production systems end to end
- Preferably in an startup environment

- Infrastructure ownership. Cloud, data and deploys are yours. There is no platform or infra team

Benefits

- Fully remote, anywhere in the Americas.
- Contractors are paid in their own currency.
