Forward Deployed Engineer at Comena (S25)

Founding Engineer at Comena (S25)

Comena builds AI agents to automate order processing for industrial distributors and manufacturers, aiming to free up sales and procurement staff from manual workflows. As the first Software Engineering Intern, you will be crucial in developing the product and technology stack, working closely with founders to design and build full-stack features, integrate AI-driven capabilities, and handle customer onboarding and ERP integrations. This role involves writing production-quality code and making high-impact decisions in a fast-paced startup environment.

<h3 class="text-xl md:text-2xl font-bold mt-8 mb-3 text-gray-800">About Comena</h3><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">Comena builds AI agents for industrial distributors and manufacturers to automate their order processing from e-mail inbox to ERP. At distributors across the US and Germany alone, there are 4 million sales and procurement people stuck in manual workflows between inbox and ERP. We want to automate this work and liberate these people to work on more meaningful things.</p><p class="my-4 text-gray-700 leading-relaxed">We’re part of the YC S25 batch - the most selective batch in YC history.
