Job description
As a Founding Engineer, youâll work across the stack to build core product experiences and the systems behind them. Youâll partner closely with product and design, own projects from idea shipped scaled, and help shape the engineering culture and technical direction as we grow., * Build 0 1 product features end-to-end: discovery, technical design, implementation, launch, and iteration.
- Use the latest AI tools every day - build with them, push their limits, and learn alongside teammates doing the same.
- Ship across the stack (web app, backend services, data, infrastructure) with a bias toward simple, durable systems.
- Build product experiences with strong UX quality: interaction design, performance, and polish.
- Design and operate systems that scale: reliability, observability, capacity planning, cost/performance trade-offs.
- Improve our engineering foundations: architecture, tooling, CI, testing, release processes, and on-call hygiene.
- Collaborate tightly with founders and teammates, turning ambiguous problems into crisp execution.
Requirements
- Strong track record building and shipping 0 1 products (startup, new product line, or major greenfield initiative).
- Comfortable as a true full-stack engineer (front-end + backend), and willing to go wherever the work is.
- Strong product sense: you can reason about user workflows, trade-offs, and âwhat mattersâ without needing perfect specs.
- Design intuition: you care about craft, and you can implement clean UI with attention to detail.
- Systems mindset: you enjoy making software fast, reliable, and maintainable as usage grows., * Experience scaling products and systems through inflection points (10Ă traffic, new customer segments, new pricing/billing complexity).
- Experience with AI-powered products (LLMs, agentic systems, evaluation/observability, prompt/tooling pipelines).
- Prior experience as an early engineer or founder in a high-ownership environment.
- Experience in the web and marketing space
Benefits & conditions
- Small teams, high ownership, fast iteration.
- Engineers own product: youâll partner directly with design and founders, and have real agency over what we build and why.
- Pragmatic engineering: ship quickly, then harden with the right abstractions.
- We value clear thinking, taste, and accountability over ceremony.
