About the role

This is a hands-on generalist role where one engineer owns customer-facing features from first design through production, across both frontend and backend. A strong candidate ships quickly without cutting corners, listens closely to customer feedback, and is comfortable making product decisions alongside the founders in a small team. Depth in either React and Next.js or in distributed systems and APIs is a clear plus. How it fits the AI eraAI is part of the product itself here, so the work includes building agent systems such as sandboxes, memory retrieval, and learning loops, not just using AI tools to code. Turning fresh research into dependable features is a big part of the job. What stays human is product judgment, deciding what is worth building, and holding a high quality bar so that AI-assisted output does not turn sloppy.

To prepare, a candidate can build a small agent project with tool use and memory, and study how an open source automation platform handles workflows.

Before you apply

Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.

Your profile is current

It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.

Two examples you can talk through

Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.

A number in mind

What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.

Your notice period

Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.

Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
