About
primitive.dev
primitive.dev
is building the communication layer for the agent economy. As AI agents increasingly act on behalf of people and businesses, companies need infrastructure to identify them, understand what they need, and interact with them at scale.
We rebuilt email from the ground up for machine-to-machine communication, optimizing the entire stack for latency, throughput, reliability, and developer experience. On top of that infrastructure, we deploy and operate agents for our customers. They begin as a general interface to the business, then learn from incoming traffic and create specialized agents to handle recurring workflows.
What you'll do
Own how primitive.dev gets embedded inside our customers’ systems. You will deploy agents into real business workflows, connect them to internal and external systems, and turn missing capabilities into durable parts of the platform. This role spans customer discovery, integrations, agent engineering, and product.
What you bring
4+ years of building production software across APIs, backend systems, and infrastructure
You can turn messy business requirements into reliable technical systems
You can lead a customer call, understand an unfamiliar system, and build the integration yourself
Nice to have
Experience building enterprise integrations or workflow automation
