About Baton AI

Baton AI (getbaton.ai) is building the enterprise automation platform for cross-application workflows. We’re starting by helping solutions engineering and implementation teams automate customer onboarding and product setup – enabling them to deliver value faster and at scale. This is just our first wedge toward a broader vision of enterprise-wide, AI-powered automation.

We’re VC-backed and growing fast. Looking for ambitious builders who move fast, take ownership, and want to help define the future of AI automation.

What You’ll Do

• Own core systems – Design and build key parts of our full-stack web application, API infrastructure, and AI-driven automation platform.

• Work on cutting-edge tech – Work on complex technical challenges involving AI agents, prompt engineering, eval, monitoring, API, and browser automation.

• Shape the product – Collaborate with early customers and the founding team to define our technical roadmap and deliver features that create real impact.

• Move fast, learn fast – Prototype, experiment, and ship quickly in a high-trust, low-bureaucracy environment.

What We’re Looking For

• 3+ years of full-stack engineering experience and love working with React and Typescript.

• Proficiency in modern web application development – React/NextJS and Node.js. Understanding of Python and Elixir/functional programming is a plus.

• Experience building rich-text editors (think Notion) or excited to take on that challenge.

• Experience (or strong interest) in building AI/LLM-powered apps and workflow automation tools.

• A product-minded engineer who cares about clean code and great UX.

• Problem-solver who thrives on breaking down ambiguity and delivering fast.

• Excited to work in person (~3 days per week) with us in San Francisco.
