Requirements

  • Experience building 0 to 1 products, either as a founder, or early engineer at a funded startup
  • Hands-on experience with the latest AI models, with a strong intuition about model capabilities, the behavioral nuances of each, and how to prompt them to get the best results

  • Bonus: Detailed knowledge of Python, Postgres, React, AWS, or similar foundational components
  • Bonus: Experience working with Spline/Rive/Lottie

Responsibilities

  • Talk directly to users: understand their requirements, build what they ask for, ask for their feedback, follow up as needed, and iterate based on what they say
  • Craft delightful product interactions
  • Eagerly identify and implement improvements to our core foundations (e.g. adding test coverage, clearing performance bottlenecks)
  • Work closely with founders and design to help come up with high-level product concepts (bonus points: and detailed Figma designs) for how interactions will work
  • Other things that may come up from time to time to move our company forward (or keep the lights on)
  • Share and promote your work publicly (e.g. on Twitter, LinkedIn, Reddit, etc)
