Full Job Description
Your Mission

Over the next 12-18 months, you will be one of our core product builders. This means you will talk to clients, scope and design features, and implement from scratch.

Outcomes
  • 0 1 roadmap delivery: You'll need to own a section of our roadmap and ship them from 0 1. This includes the full cycle, from idea/client discovery to rollout. Feature outcomes are measured via adoption and direct client feedback.
  • Reliable, secure, accurate, and fast engineering: With the stakes that we're working with, we need to get things correct. We're building always-on software (e.g, 99.5% crash-free and secure-by-default). Our agents must be accurate (e.g, one of our features has 0.9 F1) and can't add significant latency (e.g, another feature has


Competencies
  • Taste and product building experience (must have): You have to love building 'tasteful' products that customers love using. This typically means 0 1 experience alongside strong frontend/design/UI/UX understanding.
  • React + backend + engineering hygiene (must have): Strong TypeScript/React; hands-on backend experience (Node, Go, or Python). Good engineering hygiene (CI/CD, tests, reviews).
  • Deeply empathetic (must be): Both our team and our customers require empathetic and low-ego people. Some of our users' careers depend on our product being 'right', so trusting and listening to them is our most important skill.
  • Independent and process building (must be): We don't have a lot of structure. You'll build a lot of processes and make standards by yourself, and everybody we hire after you will follow these.
  • Endpoint/inference experience (nice to have): Experience with browser extensions/device endpoints, and very fast/scalable inference would be useful for this role.


Logistics
  • Salary: 120-250k
  • Equity: 0.3-1%
  • Location: In-person in SF, and (optionally) occasional travel either for clients or for offsite.
  • Perks: Meals, housing/relocation, equipment, and benefits provided.
  • Work authorization: We can't sponsor visas at this time.
