Job Description

ABOUT THE ROLE Conductor https://conductor.build/ lets you run a team of coding agents in the cloud or on your Mac.

We’re on a mission to build the human interface to AI organizations. Our team is small but growing. Come join the co-founders and jump into an exciting space where you can do the best work of your life.
