Position: AI-First Senior Full-Stack / DevOps Engineer (Open Source, MotiaHub, & AI)
Location: Remote-friendly
Type: Full-time
Job Posting: Senior AI-Assisted Developer for Motia
About Motia
Motia is an open-source, event-driven agent framework that orchestrates multi-language “Steps” into dynamic agents and flows. Our Workbench empowers developers to visualize, debug, and refine these agents, while Motia-Hub, our enterprise production platform, enables one-command deployments, advanced observability, environment management, and analytics.
We’re a driven startup aiming to unify everything from business process agents to AI-driven flows under a single, event-driven architecture. We value:
Ownership & Accountability: Inspired by Jocko Willink, we seek individuals who take full responsibility for their work and see it through—no excuses.
Embracing Challenges: Echoing JFK, we do this not because it is easy, but because it is hard—pushing our skills to deliver impactful solutions.
Pragmatic Decision Making: As a fast-moving company, we balance smart tradeoffs with robust, high-impact outcomes.
Role Overview
We’re seeking an expert in Cursor, Windsurf, Claude-Code, and Cline to join our team and revolutionize how developers build and maintain Motia agents. You’ll focus on creating dotfiles (e.g., .cursor/) and a Motia Configuration Profile (MCP) to integrate these AI-assisted coding tools seamlessly into the Motia ecosystem. Your work will empower developers to craft and update agents and flows effortlessly, leveraging AI to boost productivity and precision.
You’ll split your time between:
Building Agents and flows: You will be building agent and intelligent automations, open-sourcing them, updating docs and creating content to help get the word out about motia.
Open-Source Core & Workbench: Enhancing Motia’s framework and tools with AI-driven development integrations.
Motia-Hub: Supporting production-grade features to ensure agents scale with observability and ease.
Key Responsibilities
Building Agents and Intelligent Automations
Open Source, Workbench, & AI Tool Integration
Develop and maintain dotfiles (e.g., .cursor/) and a Motia Configuration Profile (MCP) to optimize Cursor, Windsurf, Claude-Code, and Cline for creating/updating Motia agents and flows.
Strengthen the Node/TypeScript engine to support seamless AI-generated step integrations across languages (Python, Ruby, etc.).
Enhance the React + Vite-based Workbench UI with AI-assisted features—e.g., auto-generated flow templates and real-time debugging hints.
Motia-Hub & Production Support
Collaborate on the Motia-Hub web application (front and back end) to integrate AI tool outputs into deployment, observability, and analytics workflows.
Drive orchestration enhancements (e.g., AWS, Kubernetes) to support AI-generated agents at scale.
Improve CI/CD pipelines to validate AI-crafted code, ensuring versioning and zero-downtime deployments.
A Typical Week Could Include:
Core: Build an MCP that auto-generates a Python-based AI agent step using Claude-Code, ensuring compatibility with Motia’s runtime.
Workbench: Add a Cursor-driven feature to suggest flow optimizations in the UI based on agent performance logs.
Hub: Design a deployment pipeline in Motia-Hub that tests Windsurf-generated agent updates with zero downtime.
DevOps: Tune automated QA checks to validate AI tool outputs, adding performance instrumentation for Motia-Hub analytics.
