Scorecard builds simulation environments and reward models that frontier AI labs and enterprises use to train and evaluate their agents. Same discipline that made self-driving cars work, applied to LLM-based agents.

Our founding team built simulation infrastructure at Waymo, SpaceX, and Uber ATG. I'm Dare, the CEO and scaled Waymo's simulation org to 200+ engineers. We're ~7 people, 7-figure revenue, $3.75M seed led by Kindred Ventures with angels from OpenAI, Apple, Waymo, Uber, Perplexity, and Meta.

Founding Engineer ($175K-$280K + strong equity). Primarily backend. You'll own technical domains end-to-end. We use agentic tooling (Claude Code) heavily. Moving fast and working customers matters more than deep expertise in any one language.

Stack: TypeScript, Node.js, Next.js, PostgreSQL, ClickHouse, Temporal, GCP.

The biggest diffs from Claude code (the current champion): 1. Generous free tier (60 RPM!) 2. Open Source Apache (Standard after OAI Codex did the same)
