Nohi · Agent-Native Marketplace
What We’re Building
Nohi is an agent-native marketplace.
We’re not building tools for humans—we’re building infrastructure where AI agents can understand products, make decisions, and execute transactions autonomously.
We are redefining product schemas, transaction protocols, and system boundaries to enable a fundamentally new commerce paradigm.
What You’ll Own
- Lead the architecture and implementation of core systems: products, orders, payments, and internal tooling
- Drive end-to-end development, setting the standard from frontend experience to backend reliability
- Define API contracts, data models, and state machines that support complex, evolving transaction flows
- Make critical decisions on system design, scalability, and technical direction
- Translate ambiguous product ideas into clear technical strategies and shipped systems
- Partner closely with product, design, and founders to co-create both product and engineering direction
What We’re Looking For
- Proven experience as a senior or lead full-stack engineer, with a track record of shipping complex systems
- Strong expertise in modern web stacks (TypeScript, React, Next.js, Node.js, Python)
- Deep understanding of system architecture, data modeling, and API design at scale
- Ability to operate in ambiguity and lead projects from 0 → 1
- High ownership mindset—you don’t wait for specs, you define them
- Strong interest in AI-native / agent-driven systems, and curiosity to push new paradigms
Strong Plus
- Experience building marketplaces, SaaS platforms, or transaction-heavy systems
- Hands-on work with LLMs, agent frameworks, workflow orchestration, or tool-calling systems
- Early-stage startup or founding engineer experience
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, and DevOps practices
What We Offer
- A chance to define the technical foundation of a new category—not iterate on existing patterns
- Direct access to founders and decision-making—fast cycles, real impact
- True technical ownership—your judgment shapes the system
- Competitive salary + meaningful equity in an early-stage company
