Open Application

logcat.ai is the AI engineering layer for the operating-system stack. We build agentic systems for Linux and Android devices: we ingest the diagnostic artifacts a device emits (bugreports, logcat, dmesg, modem traces, ramdumps, perfetto, pcap, CAN) and help device makers diagnose, remediate, test, and author features across their OS stack, grounded in their own BSP. Think Datadog and Cursor combined for the OS layer. A VC-backed startup with a small, senior team — you work directly with the founders.

We recently raised a $2.55M pre-seed. The product is scaling and the customer list is growing. The team is still small, so you'll own what you build.

We open roles slowly, which means the role you'd be great at often doesn't exist yet, though sometimes it exists a month later.

Our team will read every submission. If there's a fit now, you'll hear from us within two weeks. If there isn't, we'll update you over an email and if we think there will be one later, we'll ask to keep your details for 12 months and come back to you when the role opens.

Where we hire

We hire in Seattle, Bengaluru, India and Canada. For niche roles, we open the search up across the United States and Canada as well.

Most of our hiring today is engineering: deep OS and device work (kernel, Android, modem, Wi-Fi, CAN, tracing), the agentic reasoning layer, and forward-deployed engineering inside customer stacks. Everything else gets built as we scale; product and design, go-to-market, marketing, people, operations. Join those early and you shape the function rather than inherit it.

The kind of people we are generally hiring for

Depth somewhere real. One thing you know really well, and can explain how you came to know it.

Beyond the technical skill we are hiring for people with curiosity, kindness, and a real instinct to help.

AI tools in your daily work. Claude Code or equivalent for engineers; for everyone else, some part of your job you've already rebuilt around these tools.

Comfort with ambiguity. You'll define the approach as often as you execute one.

How to make this worth your time ( optional, but will help earn you some brownie points) Two sentences on what you'd want to work on here. Specific beats enthusiastic.

Show us something; a commit, a campaign, a bug you chased, a process you rebuilt.

Name your constraints up front: location, timing, visa, comp. None of these disqualify you. Finding out late costs us both.

What we offer

A front seat as we scale. Customer calls, the roadmap, the pipeline, how the company is actually doing.

Top-of-market salary and founding equity. You'll own a piece of what you build.

The AI tools you need. We use AI across writing code, reviewing it, research, ops, and internal tooling. If something would help you work better, we'll get it.

Early ownership, and full visibility. We move fast, and you'll help decide where.

Comprehensive medical insurance for you and your family.

Start-up perks and flexible time off, the kind people actually take.

A small team that's easy to work with. People here like solving hard problems and helping each other out.
