About the role

You will work directly with the founders and a small team, with agents alongside you for the legwork. What you ship reaches customers the same week.

What you will do

  • Ship features end to end, from the database schema to the pixels, usually inside a week.
  • Work alongside agents every day: they draft, test, and review with you, and you make them better.
  • Measure what you build in production and fix the root cause, not the symptom.
  • Write the specs, tests, and docs that let the next person (or agent) move fast.

What we are looking for

  • You have shipped real products and owned them after launch.
  • You are fluent in TypeScript or Rust, or in another language and keen to learn them quickly.
  • You care about speed, correctness, and the small details users notice.
  • You explain your thinking clearly in writing.

Nice to have

  • Experience with Effect, React, Postgres, or Kubernetes.
  • You have built developer tools or worked on agents and LLMs.
