Quick facts
From the original posting
Time is the the most valuable resource we have, yet coordinating it remains stuck in the dark ages. At Blockit, we're building the AI that finally fixes this: an autonomous time agent that handles the full complexity of scheduling—timezones, group coordination, in-person logistics—like an executive assistant that never sleeps.
While every LLM application to date has been a one-on-one conversation, Blockit is one of the first multiplayer, stateful AI agents—coordinating between multiple people, maintaining context across conversations, and taking real actions in the world. As more people connect their calendars, our network becomes exponentially more powerful.
This is the foundation of a platform of AI agents with access to the world's time. We're backed by Sequoia, and we're a small, sharp team that moves fast, ships constantly, and holds a high bar. If you want to build something genuinely new, we'd love to talk.

You'll expand what Blockit can do and where it shows up in people's lives.
This isn't traditional growth engineering, it's about building new agent capabilities, opening up new surfaces (Slack, mobile, desktop, etc.), and finding ways for Blockit to handle workflows we don't support yet. You'll ship features end-to-end: talking to users, prototyping, building, and measuring. The work spans frontend, backend, and agent engineering.

2+ years of industry experience shipping production software
Ability to work across the stack as needed
Product sense: you care about UX, correctness, and clarity, not just passing tests
Pragmatic approach to building: you validate quickly, then harden what works
