Job description

Hercules is hiring AI-native growth hackers. Your job is to help us grow from 100k users and $XM of revenue to 100M users and $100M+ revenue as quickly as possible. You will have an unlimited AI budget.

We are looking for true AI power users. Not people who use ChatGPT to be 10 to 20% more productive. We want people who can use AI plus code to 100x themselves and do things that were not possible two years ago.

If you are a growth hacker at the cutting edge of AI, with a voracious appetite for experimentation, and you want the budget to scale your best playbook, this role is for you.

What you will do

  • Pick one specific growth wedge and own it end-to-end (programmatic SEO, paid ads, lifecycle, etc.).
  • Build an AI-driven system to execute it at scale.
  • Run tight loops: ship, measure, learn, repeat.
  • Turn what works into durable infrastructure we keep scaling.

What skills you need need

  • Exceptional AI skills (asynchronous agents, automations, evals and QA).
  • Strong communication.
  • Ability to code (TypeScript-first).
  • Track record running successful, large-scale growth strategies

How we operate

  • Urgency: ship fast, iterate, correct quickly.
  • Excellence: have taste, get the details right, make outputs simple and self-serve.
  • Hunger: work hard, do what it takes, be politely relentless.

Your application

Pick ONE specific growth play that will have the highest impact and describe it below (examples: programmatic SEO, TikTok ads, partnerships, lifecycle email). In your answer, include:

  • The play: What exactly is your play? How does it work? What are the outputs?
  • How you will use AI to 100x impact: which AI tools/workflows will you use? How will you ensure high quality?
  • Measurement: What metrics will you track? How will you iterate / experiment?
  • CAC Payback: How you will ensure this play is profitable?

If we like you and your idea we will quite literally hire you on the spot to go implement this play.

Compensation

$100k to $250k plus equity (based on seniority and location).

Why work at Hercules

  • Culture: Fast-paced, high-agency environment with operating principles: "move with urgency," "strive for excellence," and "be hungry." Strong preference for shipping quickly and iterating.
  • Work model: Strong preference for in-office at San Francisco HQ (Kearny and Bush). Remote considered for exceptional candidates in US time zones who can travel to the office regularly.
  • Compensation: $100k–$250k + equity (varies by seniority, equity, and location).
  • Benefits: Healthcare, vision, dental; daily lunches, dinners, and snacks in office; unlimited vacation; use of any AI productivity tools.
  • Engineering culture: Engineers expected to be strong in system design, architecture, and AI coding tools. They work with a modern stack: React, TypeScript, Postgres, Redis, Clickhouse, Cloudflare, AWS, OpenAI/Anthropic/Google models. Engineers talk directly with users and ship autonomously.
  • Team size: Very small (4 employees as of LinkedIn data) — early-stage, high-impact roles with significant ownership.
