The RoleThis is not a typical engineering role. You'll be our founding engineer, with an outsized role in how the product, company, and engineering culture evolve.
You'll write code, but you'll also:
- Talk to customers and join pilot calls
- Turn feedback into product changes the same week
- Influence the roadmap directly
- Help close deals by building what matters fast
- Own features end-to-end, from prototype to production
In your first 90 days, you'll:- Ship production code to real pilot customers in your first weeks
- Build the core product surfaces: employee-facing guidance UX and manager dashboard
- Work across the stack (TypeScript, React, Next.js, Postgres, Electron/Tauri)
- Wire up LLM features that actually work in production, not just in a demo
- Set up the telemetry and eval systems that make our insights credible
In 6 months, you'll:- Own large product surface areas end-to-end
- Help convert pilots into paying contracts with your product work
- Drive the reliability and quality bar that enterprise buyers expect
- Start shaping engineering culture and hiring as we grow the team
In 12 months, you'll:- Architect key parts of the system
- Be known by name to our biggest customers
- Opportunity to lead engineering as we scale past our seed round
Competitive salary, meaningful early equity, and the chance to grow into an engineering leadership role as we scale.
Who We Want- Shipping full-stack production-ready products in fast-moving environments
- Strong with TypeScript, React, Next.js, backend APIs, and Postgres
- Comfortable building across web and desktop (Electron, Tauri, or similar)
- Has built LLM-powered features in production, not just prototyped with them
- Production habits: CI/CD, testing, observability, pragmatic system design
- Native with AI coding agents (Claude Code/Codex)
- Obsessive about customer needs, not just abstract "users"
- Comfortable debugging, writing tests, talking to customers, and jumping on a pilot call
Bonus: Experience with building browser-based automation tools or developer/enterprise tools.
The TeamYou'll join Johnny Chang (Stanford top AI agent research, taught most Stanford AI flagship courses with professors like Andrew Ng) and Angelina You (Meta data science, Stanford MS Eng, product growth at CircleCI) as the founding engineer. Product, engineering, and customer work all run through the same room.
We're backed by One Way Ventures, Pear VC, Peterson Ventures, and many more institutional funds and strategic angels.
How to ApplyEmail with:
- Your GitHub
