Full Job Description

MISSION 🚀 At Faros, we are reshaping the way engineering organizations operate, with an engineering intelligence platform that provides visibility and context across the organization's software delivery systems. This deep operational context supports engineering leaders today, and is increasingly essential as AI agents begin to operate within real software delivery environments. Faros is laying the foundation for how humans and AI will build software together in the years ahead. ABOUT THE ROLE We’re looking for software engineers who want to help build the future of engineering operations. You will spend a significant portion of your time writing code, building foundational systems, and solving complex technical challenges at scale. Working closely across product, data, and engineering, you will help design the context graph and operational data platform that power Faros, bringing together signals from across the software development lifecycle. You will also help pioneer a new generation of AI systems and agents that use this rich context to help engineering organizations build software more intelligently and effectively.   WHAT WE VALUE - Living by our values over avoiding conflict. We favor transparency and honest debate because strong decisions depend on saying the hard things out loud. - Transformation over predictability. We dedicate our efforts to work that produces monumental outcomes for our customers, even if it means trading short-term predictability for long-term impact. - Intensity over comfort. We move with urgency and focus, especially when the work is messy or unstructured. - Craftsmanship over throughput. We take pride in how things are built. Quality, coherence, and care matter. We would rather ship fewer things done right than many things done carelessly. - Ownership over process. We act like founders. If we see something broken, we fix it. We don’t wait for permission, committees, or perfect instructions. Process exists to help us move faster, no
