Maxi Benedetto

Co-founder & CTO

Maxi was an early tech lead at Meta Superintelligence Labs, working on AI across Facebook and Instagram. Before that he built Uber's knowledge platform and internal search, along with real-time dispatch systems. He's obsessed with maximizing developer productivity, and believes in the compounding benefits of a high-quality knowledge base as it grows.

Why we're building Falconer

When intelligence is cheap, context is everything.

AI levels the playing field. The advantage is turning outdated, scattered, and missing knowledge into powerful context that compounds for your team and your agents.

We built Falconer to maintain documentation and context for you: writing and updating docs as your code and data sources change.

The team

Falconer is built by a small, talent-dense team founded in 2025 and based in San Francisco, California. We come from a broad set of iconic companies, like Stripe, Meta Superintelligence Labs, Google, ByteDance, Uber, Ironclad, and American Express. We've built world-class knowledge systems, early autonomous agents, infrastructure, and UIs for millions of users; open source projects with 15k stars; published books that have sold thousands of copies. Most importantly, we are perpetual learners obsessed with building great products.

How we work

Build something you're proud of

Believing in the mission is table stakes here. Everyone builds toward it, from engineering to marketing to customer experience. Every engineer knows the pain of outdated docs and lost knowledge, so you'll solve a problem every team faces and build tools worth taking pride in.

Autonomy through focus

We know what matters: time to build and think deeply. We cut distractions with simple communication structures and asynchronous work, giving you space to focus and do your best work.

Meaningful collaboration

We garden a writing-first communication culture. This makes live collaboration energizing; not for status updates, but for open-ended conversations that foster creativity and new ideas.

Learn through building

We value impact over rituals. Build, experiment, decide fast, and learn even faster. We reward sound judgment, curiosity, and smart risk-taking. If something isn't delivering value, we fix it.

Build momentum

We look to take smart risks, name our shortcomings, and lean into our strengths, because complacency kills momentum. That extends to your growth: we reward strong performance and fast growth, and if you're not expanding your skills, responsibilities, and impact, we'll say so. You own the plan and the execution.

Open roles

We're a small team building the knowledge layer engineering has needed for a decade: a source of truth that writes itself, stays current as the code changes, and keeps every person and agent grounded in what's actually true.

If that's the kind of problem you want to own, take a look at where we're hiring.
