Job Description
Description
This person will fully own the codebase and technical roadmap, operate extremely hands-on, and partner closely with the founders to shape both the product and the business.
This is a builder-first role. You will write production code daily, make architectural decisions end-to-end, and help us move quickly from idea to shipped product. Over time, you’ll also act as a player-coach: setting technical standards, hiring thoughtfully, and raising the bar for a small, high-quality engineering team. If you’re excited by ownership, speed, and building AI-native products from first principles, this role is for you.
Requirements
What You’ll Own
+ Full technical ownership of the codebase, infrastructure, and engineering roadmap
+ Hands-on development, shipping production code daily while evolving system architecture
+ Technical decision-making across product, scalability, reliability, and security
+ AI-native product development, including LLMs, agents, copilots, and rapid experimentation
+ Founder-level partnership, working closely with us on product direction, tradeoffs, and execution
+ Hiring and mentorship, gradually building and leading a small, high-impact engineering team
What We’re Looking For:
8+ years of engineering experience, primarily as an individual contributor
Proven ability to design, build, and own systems end-to-end
Writes production-quality code daily and enjoys doing so
Strong architectural instincts paired with pragmatic execution
AI-native mindset:
+ Hands-on experience with LLMs, agents, copilots, or AI-enabled workflows
+ Comfortable iterating quickly, testing assumptions, and shipping improvements
Founder-level ownership and judgment:
+ You care deeply about outcomes, not just implementations
+ You make smart tradeoffs between speed, quality, and scalability
Comfortable acting as a player-coach, mentoring others and hiring when the time is right
