  • Actively shape the product vision and roadmap alongside the founders.

We are backed by a premier accelerator and top builder/operators, including co-founders of major tech companies. This is a unique chance to define the future of how people interact with data and intelligence in their daily work.

  • Experience: 3 - 8 years of relevant professional engineering experience.
  • End-to-End Building: Proven track record, preferably building a product end-to-end in a startup environment.
  • Technical Proficiency: Strong command of our core tech stack: Next.js, React, TypeScript, GoLang
  • Generalist Mindset: Excited by the opportunity to work across different technical domains and product areas.
  • On-site Policy: Must be available to work in-person in San Francisco, CA.
  • Competitive Salary: $150,000 - $250,000
  • Significant Equity: Up to 1% ownership, ensuring substantial financial upside.
  • High-Impact Role: Direct influence on the product, strategy, and overall direction of the company.
  • World-Class Team: Work alongside serial builders with backgrounds from top-tier companies and universities (e.g., Google, MIT, Microsoft, Citadel).
  • Visa Sponsorship is available.
  • Location: Full-time, on-site position in San Francisco, CA.
