Careers at Agentic Empire

Work on the hard parts.

Agentic Empire builds open-source tools for Apple platforms — Axint today, more over time. We hire senior engineers who ship things they're proud of. This page lists open roles at the company.

Axint itself stays open source. Contributors don't need a job here to ship code — see maintainers for how to get involved.

How we operate

Small team, real ownership

Every engineer owns a surface end-to-end. No product managers. No tickets you didn't write yourself. You ship the thing, you own the bugs, you respond to the Slack.

Open source is the default

Axint's compiler is Apache 2.0 and stays that way — forever. We hire people to make it better, not to lock it up. Commercial products exist where hosting is a genuine service, not where we've gated a feature.

Senior engineers only

We don't have the bandwidth to mentor. Everyone here has shipped production software that real people rely on. This is a bar, not a preference.

Remote, deeply async

Two short standups a week. One planning meeting every other Monday. Everything else happens in GitHub and well-written docs. We protect deep work.

Open roles

Senior Compiler Engineer

Remote (US / EU time zones)·Full-time
Apply

Own a compilation surface end-to-end — parser, IR, codegen, diagnostics, tests. Ship code that runs in people's terminals every day.

What you'll do

  • Extend the Axint IR to cover new App Intents, App Entities, or WidgetKit features
  • Author new AX diagnostic codes and write the fix-it paths for them
  • Keep generated Swift correct against real xcodebuild runs
  • Review compiler PRs from the community

Must have

  • Shipped a compiler, type-checker, or serious static analysis tool in production
  • Comfortable in TypeScript and Swift — enough to read and critique both
  • Writes code the way you'd see it at Apple, Stripe, or Vercel — small, obvious, tested

Nice to have

  • Contributed to swift-syntax, tree-sitter, Babel, or any mainstream compiler
  • Has opinions about IR design vs. direct codegen
  • Has shipped a real App Intent or Widget

Senior Apple Platform Engineer

Remote (US / EU time zones)·Full-time
Apply

Own the Swift side of Axint — the SPM plugin, the Xcode integration, the reference app scaffolds, and the examples that teach people what's possible.

What you'll do

  • Own the SPM plugin and Xcode build-phase integration
  • Build reference apps that demonstrate every compilation surface
  • Write Swift snapshot tests that catch real regressions
  • Work with Apple engineers when we need to escalate a platform bug

Must have

  • Shipped production Swift apps — App Intents, Widgets, SwiftUI at scale
  • Deep comfort with xcodebuild, SPM, code signing, and provisioning
  • Can read a stack trace and tell us which framework is actually at fault

Nice to have

  • WWDC session attendee with strong opinions about the SDKs
  • Has published an open-source Swift library people actually use
  • Comfortable with Metal, Core ML, or visionOS

Not seeing your role?

If you're serious about compilers or Apple platforms and you'd make us better, send us a note. The best hires rarely come from job posts — they come from people who've already shipped something we respect.
