JavaScript Engineer (Open Source Team)

About Us

At Lang Chain, our mission is to make intelligent agents ubiquitous. We build the foundation for agent engineering in the real world, helping developers move from prototypes to production-ready AI agents that teams can rely on. We began as widely adopted open-source tools and have grown to also offer a platform for building, evaluating, deploying, and operating agents at scale.

With $125M raised at Series B from IVP, Sequoia, Benchmark, CapitalG, and Sapphire Ventures, we’re at a stage where we’re continuing to develop new products, growth is accelerating, and all team members have meaningful impact on what we build and how we work together. Lang Chain is a place where your contributions can shape how this technology shows up in the real world.

Today, Lang Chain, Lang Graph, Lang Smith, and Fleet are used by teams shipping real AI products across startups and large enterprises. Millions of developers trust Lang Chain to power AI teams at companies like Replit, Clay, Coinbase, Workday, Lyft, Cloudflare, Harvey, Rippling, Vanta, and 35% of the Fortune 500.
