Rivulo empowers non-technical teams to transition to agent-led work. Teams are under pressure to become more efficient with AI, but they shouldn’t have to become experts to do so. We’re building the bridge: turning how people already work into reliable, agent-powered systems that remove friction rather than add it.

Founded by award-winning entrepreneurs with multiple successful exits, we're a team that's been there, built that, and knows how to scale companies from zero to acquisition.

We’ve built v1, we have paying customers and we’ve just closed our funding round. Now we need anPrincipal Engineer to help us turn it into a robust, scalable platform — and to do that without losing the simplicity and flow that got us here.

What you’ll do

Own and evolve the technical direction of the platform
Make pragmatic architecture decisions as we scale
Lead by building, not managing
Collaborate with the team to turn messy real-world behaviour into reliable systems
Help shape how we use AI safely, efficiently, and at scale
Enjoy speaking to our customers! Support customer issues so that you understand what we are building for.
