Description

Your Impact:

• Ship code daily - startup ventures win by being the fastest to new, useful features and fixes
• Lead technical architecture for MVPs and early production systems.
• Mentor other engineers, raising the bar on code quality, testing, and delivery.
• Help shape the product, not just implement someone else’s roadmap
• Build full-stack web and mobile apps with real-time feedback loops
• Wire up AI frameworks (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Gemini) into intuitive user products
• Own the product experience from early sketch to first traction
• Kill bad ideas fast and scale good ones quickly

• Frontend: React + TypeScript, built in close collaboration with designers
• Backend: NestJS + TypeScript
• Databases: PostgreSQL and MongoDB, depending on venture needs
• DevOps: AWS, GCP, GitHub Actions
• AI: OpenAI, Anthropic, and Gemini APIs with thoughtful model selection and prompt design
• You’ll sit at the center of our venture creation engine, focused on shaping two to three startups each year.
• You can choose to stay with a venture you launch or remain in the studio, building new ones. Both paths include equity.
• You’ll collaborate cross-functionally from day one. Engineering, UX, strategy, research, sales, and marketing all have a seat at the table.
• You won’t get specs. You’ll get real problems to solve and the freedom to build the right thing.
• You’ll be a technical leader and product co-creator, not just a code executor.
• You don’t need to have done it all. We’ll grow with you.

What We Are Looking For:

• 5+ years of professional full-stack software engineering experience
• Previous startup experience or a strong desire to work in early-stage environments
• Proven experience in building software from the ground up
• Ability to ship real products fast and iterate based on user feedback
• Deep product intuition and curiosity about what should be built
• Experience mentoring engineers and raising team standards
• Ability to balance near-term practicality with long-term technical considerations
• Experience working with modern LLMs, vector databases, and autonomous agents
• Staying on top of emerging technologies to know what’s possible while being prudent when to apply them
• Asking great questions, surfacing concerns, and generating new actionable ideas
• Humbleness that fuels curiosity and the ability to debate and disagree while remaining open and flexible in pursuit of the better idea and outcome
• Experience scaling MVPs into production systems with real traction
• Product vision that balances UX, reliability, and performance
• Willingness to challenge assumptions and the ability to convince the team to overturn some of them (and at least experiment)
