Job Summary
Transform How Frontline Work Runs
Enterprises struggle to manage hundreds of millions of dollars in frontline labor spend due to decades-old software and manual processes creating massive avoidable costs. Frontline labor often represents 40% of the P&L yet the systems managing this $3 trillion market were built for static schedules and limited flexibility.
ReadyOn was founded to reject that paradigm. Staffing is not a scheduling problem; it is a real-time supplydemand orchestration problem. ReadyOn is an AI-native labor operating system built from the ground up for AI agents to perform real-time labor optimization - much like ridesharing platforms that match drivers and riders in real time but applied to frontline labor instead of fixed one-size-fits-all schedules.
Whos Building It
AI is not a bolt-on feature in our platform. Every decision from demand forecasting to shift assignment flows through an adaptive autonomous decision layer that learns from operational data and continuously optimizes for cost compliance and worker satisfaction. Behind that system is a founding team of experts in labor markets enterprise software and AI-enabled platforms:
- Reza Engineering leader who scaled enterprise systems at Google Yahoo and AT&T
- Dominic Operator who optimized labor-intensive operations in 21 countries
- Mohammad Stanford professor and leading expert in algorithmic market design
ReadyOn has already proven productmarket fit with multiple multi-million-dollar customers consistent expansion within existing accounts and measurable ROI that moves stock prices.
Hands-On Builders Leading AI Innovation
ReadyOn is searching for senior engineers who love to code and ship impactful products. The core enterprise system is live; now the work is about sharpening extending and scaling real-time labor insights across thousands of sites and users. As an engineer here youre not layering AI onto the edges of a legacy tool youre building the core decision layer that orchestrates how thousands of shifts locations and workers come together every day.
Our engineers roll up their sleeves across core engineering AI and platform teams to get things built. Youll find TypeScript and Python everywhere powering everything from core services to user-facing features. This is a place for people who launch learn and continuously make systems smarter in production.
Youll Thrive in This Role If You
- Have 5 years of backend engineering experience working with production systems.
- Dive into ambiguity excel in hands-on high-impact environments and drive solutions without waiting for perfect specs.
- Care about clean system design scalability and architectural elegance and arent afraid to rethink the usual approaches.
- Enjoy close collaboration with product design and AI research teams to deliver new experiences customers use.
- Focus on business outcomes not just technical output and love finding solutions to real problems.
- Are fluent in TypeScript and NestJS (or other frameworks) and know how to design decoupled services and robust enterprise interfaces; GraphQL experience is a major plus.
- Bring deep expertise in PostgreSQL: schema design query optimization migration management and handling concurrency in large-scale environments.
- (Bonus) Have hands-on experience with conflict resolution in collaborative systems graph processing feature stores or real-time coordination tools.
- If youre looking for predictability and structure this probably isnt the place for you - we thrive in fast-changing flexible environments driven by initiative not routine.
This Might Not Be the Right Role If You
- Prefer clear-cut structure established processes or state-of-the-art internal operating systems; we embrace rapid change and flexibility.
- Want a traditional corporate setting with standard roles well-defined career ladders and steady routines.
- Rely on top-down guidance detailed documentation or formal onboarding; autonomy and self-direction are critical here.
- Crave predictability or highly specialized functions; we reward outcome-driven effort learning and the ability to flex between roles rather than sticking to rigid paths.

- Screening call with Talent (Recruiter)
- 1:1 interview with Founder/CTO Reza Iranmanesh (hiring manager)
- Technical panel: cross-functional technical interview (virtual)
- Onsite interview with direct team and select founding members
