The Role

As a Founding Engineer, you’ll work across the stack to build core product experiences and the systems behind them. You’ll partner closely with product and design, own projects from idea > shipped > scaled, and help shape the engineering culture and technical direction as we grow.

What You’ll Do

  • 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.

Must-haves

  • 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 “what matters” 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.

Nice-to-haves

  • Experience scaling products and systems through inflection points (10× 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

How We Work

  • Small teams, high ownership, fast iteration.
  • Engineers own product: you’ll 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.
