About Relvy AI

Relvy is building the future of incident response with AI-powered debugging notebooks that help engineering teams investigate and resolve outages 70% faster. Our agentic AI doesn't just automate - it collaborates with engineers, learning from each investigation to become a smarter debugging teammate. We're backed by leading investors and focused on reducing MTTR while giving teams more time to focus on prevention rather than firefighting.

About the role

TL;DR

Company: We're building AI agents that handle the heavy lifting of production incident resolution - eliminating the dreaded oncall experience that every engineer knows too well.

What we're looking for: A hungry, technically exceptional founding engineer who thrives in ambiguity and wants to build something transformative from the ground up. You'll tackle fascinating problems spanning AI agents, time series analysis, observability data, and full-stack development while working directly with users to solve real pain points.

About the Role

Ever dreaded being oncall? Join us on the mission to build AI that does the heavy lifting for humans in resolving production incidents.

We are looking for a hungry, technically excellent founding engineer to join our team. You will be at the forefront of a fast-paced development journey, building solutions that work closely with users and encompassing a wide range of challenging technical problems.

The Opportunity

AI has enormous potential for productivity gains throughout the software development cycle beyond just coding. We're building intelligent agents specifically for debugging production incidents - one of the most time-consuming and stressful aspects of every engineer's job.

As a founding engineer, you'll be tackling diverse and fascinating problems every day:

  • Time series analysis and anomaly detection
  • Processing and analyzing massive volumes of log/metrics/traces data
  • Breaking down complex debugging workflows for AI agents
  • Building intuitive interfaces that make incident resolution effortless
  • Integrating with multiple observability data sources and monitoring tools

What We're Looking For

Core Qualities:

  • Attention to detail - Production systems demand precision
  • 0→1 builder - You excel at creating something from nothing
  • End-to-end ownership - You see projects through from conception to deployment
  • Fast-paced execution - You thrive in a startup environment
  • Quick learner - You can rapidly pick up new technologies and domains
  • Product-minded - You care deeply about user experience and business impact

Technical Skills:

Web Applications:

  • Backend development and database design
  • Frontend development (React.js experience preferred)
  • Cloud infrastructure and deployment

AI/ML Experience:

  • Familiarity with building AI agents and applications
  • Understanding of LLMs and agent architectures

Observability Domain:

  • Experience with production monitoring and observability tools
  • Understanding of logging, metrics, and tracing systems

Why This Role is Exciting

  • Immediate impact: Every engineer has felt the pain of production incidents - you're solving a universal problem
  • Technical depth: Work across the full stack while diving deep into AI, data processing, and observability
  • Direct user feedback: Build alongside engineers who desperately need what you're creating
  • Founding opportunity: Help shape the technical vision and culture of an early-stage company
  • Diverse challenges: No two days are the same - you'll constantly be learning and growing
