Engineering at Fontana

We build software the AI-native way: agents write, review, and ship alongside humans. On a busy weekend we have spun up 5,000+ development agents. You will design work so fleets of agents can move fast — and so humans stay in the control path for what matters.

Our Slack workspace has more Agents and AI employees than humans. We build for a future where code and contributions flow from many hands, some human, some not.

What you will be working on

End-to-end product slices

React UI → Convex backend → tests → docs.

Flow UI

Interactive canvas, workflow authoring, data pipeline controls, and real-time product surfaces.

Knowledge Graph

Operational context, lineage, file and skill surfaces, and evidence-aware data modelling.

Agent Harness

Agents, Skills, Tools, MCP connections, Agent Interop, approved model access, and human-in-the-loop controls.

Reactive backend

Real-time Convex queries, mutations, and actions with auth, RBAC, and fail-closed behaviour.

Workflow engine

Deterministic execution, lineage, connectors, and server-side orchestration.

You'd be a strong fit if you

  • Write strong TypeScript and modern React.
  • Ship full-stack features across UI and typed API/data layers.
  • Are comfortable with reactive / real-time data.
  • Test behaviour that can actually break.
  • Communicate clearly in writing so agents and teammates can continue your work.
  • Comfortable using Cursor as the primary dev IDE.
  • Already work comfortably with AI-assisted development, agent review loops, and human-controlled shipping.
  • Can operate around DevOps, AWS, Kubernetes, and production systems without drama.
  • Understand why compliance evidence matters: SOC 2, ISO 27001, DORA, audit trails, access control, retention.

Bonus signals

  • Convex, Firebase, or similar reactive backends.
  • Canvas / editor / data-grid product surfaces.
  • Workflow, ETL, or financial-ops tooling.
  • Monorepo discipline and real AuthZ.
  • CRDT principles.
  • Audit trails, fail-closed paths, and evidence — not vibe-based “ship it”.

Location

We will review applications in location rounds, because early collaboration will be easiest with timezone and founder access close to home.

  1. First round: London applicants
  2. Second round: UK applicants
  3. Third round: EU applicants
  4. Forth round: Global applicants

How we work

Flexible

Flexible hours.

AI-first

Agents and humans ship alongside each other.

Low theatre

Direct access to founders — no ticket theatre, no six-layer approval stack.

We prefer clean architecture over hacks. Specs and docs stay in sync with the code.
