Full Job Description

ABOUT ROX Rox https://www.rox.com/?utm_source=chatgpt.com is building the AI-native revenue operating system. Most enterprise software was built for humans operating dashboards. Rox is built for agents operating systems. Instead of static workflows, Rox runs continuous decision loops powered by real-time context from across the enterprise. Agents analyze signals, reason about them, and take action — automatically. To make that possible, we are building infrastructure that combines elements of: - distributed systems - real-time decisioning - agent execution frameworks - semantic retrieval systems - low-latency streaming infrastructure - knowledge graph architectures We’re backed by Sequoia, GV, and General Catalyst and have grown rapidly from 15 to 75 people while shipping our platform years faster than the market expected. We already support Global 2000 customers across industries including banking, hardware, construction, and sovereign AI. We are building for what enterprise AI systems will require two years from now — not just what exists today. ABOUT THE CORE ENGINEERING TEAM Core Engineering builds the systems that make autonomous revenue agents reliable at enterprise scale. This team sits at the center of Rox’s long-term technical strategy and owns foundational infrastructure across: - agent reliability and orchestration - distributed execution systems - graph-based retrieval infrastructure - streaming and real-time context systems - observability for autonomous workflows - low-latency data and inference pipelines The problems here look less like traditional SaaS application engineering and more like: - real-time OLAP systems - streaming compute platforms - distributed databases - semantic retrieval systems - deterministic execution infrastructure - high-scale platform engineering At Rox, agents continuously: - retrieve context - reason across changing state - trigger actions - update workflows - coordinate across systems Core Engineering builds the infrastruct
