Founding Engineer, Full-stack - Foam.ai

About Foam

[foam.ai](http://foam.ai)****

Foam aims to be the highest signal tool out there to solve software bugs.

We've spent countless hours maintaining production systems and handling on-call rotations, when we'd rather have spent time developing core business. Most code is now AI-generated, but we fear debugging will still be left to us humans. So we decided to build Foam to ensure engineering jobs become more engaging, focused on high-level technical development and creativity.

We've raised $2.4M from [South Park Commons](https://www.southparkcommons.com/) and [The House Fund](https://www.thehouse.fund/). Our investors have previously backed notable companies including Pilot, Transcend, Perplexity AI, and Superhuman.
