About the role

Today, engineers spend 50-70% of their time not building - chasing alerts, fighting fires, answering questions, and monitoring releases.
This provides full context across the entire engineering system to enable specialized AI agents for various tasks, from incident investigation to support engineering.
alerts, incidents, support requests, deployments, performance issues, and the growing operational overhead of modern systems.

CEO is a 2x founder with prior successful exits and owned cloud infrastructure at Pokémon GO.
CTO was one of the first engineers at Databricks, where he led AI model serving and AI agent initiatives to $300M+ of revenue.
Coding has become 10x easier with modern AI tools, yet engineering roadmaps haven't gotten 10x faster.
Ship full-stack features with direct user feedback
Contribute to the product experience so agents aren't just smart, but usable and trusted by engineers
Explore and prototype with open-source and frontier LLMs to evaluate tradeoffs
Participate in everything from company strategy to customer calls to office snacks

TierZero understands how code behaves in production, spotting performance issues, hidden trends, and regressions as they emerge.
It monitors releases, surfaces anomalies, investigates their root causes, and flags problems before they become incidents.
We've helped customers achieve 46% higher uptime while saving over 10,000 engineering hours per year.

TierZero solves this by deploying self-learning AI agents that handle these operational workflows end-to-end, giving engineers back their time and accelerating delivery.

We work with multiple enterprise engineering teams, all of whom have seen meaningful transformation in reliability and velocity, and consistently volunteer to act as customer references for us.
We value autonomy, thrive in ambiguity, and are energized by ownership.
We trust each other to make bold decisions, move fast, and turn ideas into wins for our customers.
TierZero's mission is to accelerate software engineering.
We are building AI agents that take this work off their plate, unlocking creativity and speed.
We've built an extensible agentic platform that unifies code, infrastructure, telemetry, and tribal knowledge.
In addition, we deliver accuracy at such a high level that we confidently provide the industry's only 95% guarantee on agent outputs.
