Role summary
Bayworks is seeking a Founding Engineer to build their product from the ground up, focusing on wearables for technicians, voice and video AI, and the backend systems that support dealership operations. The role involves end-to-end product development, including AI agents and integrations with dealership management systems. The ideal candidate has experience shipping production systems across devices, backend, and AI, and is comfortable with real-world challenges like noisy audio and legacy systems. This is a hands-on role with significant impact in an early-stage, Y Combinator-backed startup aiming to scale rapidly in the automotive repair sector.
## Overview
Self-driving companies record every mile a car drives. Nobody records how it gets fixed. Repair expertise lives in technicians' heads: undocumented, unstructured, and disappearing as their shortage grows.
Bayworks captures voice and video data as technicians repair cars and verifies the work. Every repair becomes ground truth for how cars get fixed: symptom, diagnosis, fix, outcome. This compounds into a system that runs the dealership's operations and standardizes every repair, making it faster and compliant with manufacturer specifications.
## Why now
In 110 days, we've gone from 0 to 80+ dealerships covering 4,000 cars a day, including a top-50 US dealer group ($3B+ annual revenue) and have hit $XMn ARR. We know what's working.
Now we need to get to 1000 rooftops / $10M ARR. To get there we need a founding engineer to build the product with us: from the wearables technicians use in the bay to the agents that run the dealership. The data is there; you build what runs on it.
## World-class team
We're engineers from BITS Pilani.
* **Kaustubh (Founder & CEO)** built voice AI at Sarvam (India's frontier AI lab) deployed across government and public enterprises, and before that worked in automotive retail lending with carmakers.
* **Shubham (Founder & CTO)** built the underwriting engine at Navi, a $2B fintech, powering $10M+ in loans every day, and the mobile app at Scapia, which scaled to millions of users.
## Investors
Backed by Y Combinator (F26)
## What you'll work on
* Build Bayworks end to end: the wearables technicians use in the service bay, the voice and video AI behind it, and the backend that ties it together. This is a hands-on role; what you build ships to production
* Build the AI agents that run the dealership's operations from every repair we capture
* Own the integrations with dealership management systems, so every rooftop we add goes live fast
* Make capture on wearables hands-free and reliable in a loud, busy service bay
* Set the engineering bar and help hire the team that follows
## You can be a great fit if
* You've shipped products end to end in production, across devices, backend and AI
* You're comfortable with messy real-world problems: noisy shop-floor audio, legacy dealership systems, users who have no time for software
* You've built with LLMs, speech models or agents, and know how to make them reliable in production
* You move fast and don't overthink
* You care whether the product works in the service bay, not just in a demo
* You want to be at a company that's early enough that your work actually matters
## Compensation
* **This role includes:**
* 160K - 210K base salary
* Meaningful equity
* Medical, dental, and vision insurance
* Free DoorDash vouchers for everyday meals
