About Superconductor

Superconductor is building the autonomous software organization — a platform where agents don't wait for instructions, but find work everywhere: in customer emails, bug reports, session replays, Slack threads, X posts, etc. Agents that work while you sleep.

We're a team of 7, backed by $7M in funding, and we intend to stay below ~25 humans hopefully forever. That means every hire matters enormously, and we compensate accordingly with highly competitive salary and equity.

We have been building software together for over a decade. We formerly co-founded Gradescope, an AI-powered education grading platform used by millions of students worldwide. Previously, we were AI PhD students at UC Berkeley. All in all, we are four developers, one designer, and two generalist operators, and we all wear multiple hats every day.

Our Values

• Customer obsession. We see every customer interaction — every support email, every bug report, every piece of feedback — as a chance to earn trust and build something better. Customer communication is our differentiator, not overhead.
• Speed with stability. We move fast, but we do not break things. We know that if something breaks, we're the ones fixing it — sometimes at night. We'd rather invest in getting it right the first time.
• Living in the future. We use Superconductor to build Superconductor. We adopt our own tools before anyone else and push them until they break. If something feels like the old way of building software, we question it.
• Small team, high standards. Every person on the team has outsized impact, outsized ownership, and outsized responsibility.

Working at Superconductor

• Hybrid from our East Bay office: 3 days in our easily BART-accessible office, 2 days from home.
• However, our agents work 24/7, and there's real value in having humans cover the night shift. If you are an exceptional candidate, please apply even if you're not in the Bay Area.
• Compensation: Highly competitive salary and meaningful equity — we're a small team that plans to stay small.
• Benefits: Flexible PTO, parental leave, health insurance, employee-friendly equity terms, and premium equipment.
• And of course, a practically unlimited token budget!
