You carry a name from Gmail into the CRM, a time from the CRM into Calendly, a note from Calendly into a doc. AI showed up and mostly became an eleventh window to paste into. Sauna is a hybrid of AI and software standing on one shared brain. It holds your context and hands you real software built on top of it. You talk to it like a chatbot and use what it builds like an app: software for the path you repeat, AI for the edge that never repeats. Keep it to yourself, or share the brain with your team. The clearest way to see it is a tool doing what its whole category cannot. An ordinary Calendly shows a stranger your free slots. Your Calendly writes the invite email itself, because it knows how the two of you know each other, and it offers a board member the slot over your gym block, because it knows which of your busy hours bend and for whom. Wordware is the team behind it, 15 people backed by Spark Capital, Felicis, and Y Combinator with a $30M seed, the largest in YC's history. We build from an office in the Presidio, fifty metres from Crissy Field beach, and we work absurdly hard because we can see and feel the outcome every day. About the Role: The founder has a list of videos worth making and a track record of pieces that reached millions. The ideas aren't the problem. What's missing is someone who keeps them moving: filming, cutting, and publishing steadily enough that the list actually becomes videos. You work alongside our Creative Director / Story Crafter, who owns the narrative and the visual direction, and you report to them once that hire lands. Until then you report to the CEO. You run the pipeline underneath the narrative. A camera gets set up every morning, footage gets cut the same day, posts go out on a schedule, and nobody has to chase anyone for it. Volume matters here. We'd rather have five good pieces this week than one perfect one this month, and you're the person who knows where the line between good and sloppy sits. We don't use seniority titles at Wordware. Producer is the job, not a rank. Prove the pipeline works and this seat grows; we promote from inside before we post outside. What You'll Do: - Capture, and never lose a take. Film the founder and the office daily. Set up, shoot, back up, archive. - Edit fast. Cut the videos, write the captions, get the hook into the first three seconds, resize for every platform. Turnaround measured in hours, not days. - Publish on a cadence. X, LinkedIn, Instagram, YouTube Shorts. Five pieces a week, on schedule. - Own the library. Raw footage, transcripts, cuts, thumbnails. Named, organized, searchable. - Run an AI-assisted pipeline. AI tooling does the boring half of this job: transcription, captions, voiceover, versioning, and AI-assisted cuts. You already use tools like this and you're the one who finds the next thing worth wiring in. - Keep the idea list honest. There's a running list of video concepts that are already thought through. Every Monday, the next few become shot lists. Every Friday, they've shipped or there's a real reason they didn't. - Make the Creative Director faster. Once they're in, you run capture and first cuts so they spend their time on narrative and craft, not the timeline. Who You Are: - A fast, obsessive editor. Premiere, CapCut, or Resolve, your pick. Motion design is a bonus, not the bar. Your cuts don't drag; you watch your own work twice and fix the half-second that's off. - Detail-driven where it shows. Captions spelled right, hooks tested, thumbnails that earn the click. You care about the details the audience feels without noticing. - A systems person. Checklists, templates, naming conventions. Your file structure survives a vacation. - AI-native. You already use AI tools to do your job faster, and you're the kind of person who keeps replacing manual steps with tooling. - A self-starter in the literal sense. An idea goes from spoken sentence to published post without being managed there. - Comfortable with volume and with taste. You can hold a quality bar and a posting cadence at the same time. Probably not a fit if: - You would rather direct the work than make it. - You need a brief, a moodboard, and a sign-off before you can start cutting. - One perfect piece a month is the work you want to be doing. - You want to do this remotely, or from a studio that isn't our office. Compensation & Benefits: Base salary: $80,000 to $130,000, depending on experience and how much of the role you can own from day one + meaningful early-stage equity. Contract-to-hire is welcome for exceptional candidates. Standard Wordware benefits: medical, dental, and vision; daily lunch and dinner in the office; 401(k); gym budget; considerable PTO; the Presidio office with a sauna and the beach across the road. How to apply: Send us a one-minute intro video, recorded however you like. Tell us who you are and why this work fits you. One take, no edits required — we're watching how you show up, not your lighting. We watch this before anything else on your application. The Process: We keep our process simple. Exceptional candidates go from first touch to offer within 2 weeks. 1. Application: Submit your resume and your one-minute intro video. 2. 15-minute intro call: Quick check to align on location, motivation, and logistics. If it's a go, we move fast from here. 3. Craft review: Walk us through cuts you've made and the decisions behind them. 4. Final conversation: We answer your questions and scope out the work trial. 5. Work trial: Paid, in person, usually a few days to two weeks. You edit real footage with us. See how we work, see if it fits, both sides. ## About Sauna ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Sauna is building a multiplayer AI agent that learns how you and your team work, remembers everything that matters, and acts on your behalf across thousands of connected tools. - **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage) - **Headquarters**: San Francisco, CA, USA - **Founded**: Not publicly available - **Founders**: Not publicly available (company is described as being built by "ex-YC founders") ## Core Business - Primary industry/industries: Artificial Intelligence, Enterprise Software, Productivity - Target customers: B2B, teams and knowledge workers - Mission or purpose statement: To create an AI agent that works as a teammate—running in the background, learning context across sessions, and getting work done even when users are offline. ## Products & Services - **[Sauna AI Agent]**: A cloud-based AI agent that connects to over 3,000 tools and apps (Linear, GitHub, Notion, Gmail, Google Calendar, Jira, HubSpot, Stripe, etc.). It drafts messages, tracks what matters, files tickets, and delivers briefings. It is "multiplayer"—teammates share a Sauna's context and memory, and individual agents can communicate with each other. Available on web app, iOS, iMessage, Slack, and email. ## Market Standing - **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total funding of $30M (largest seed round in YC history) - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Y Combinator, Spark Capital - **Growth Signals**: Named "Makers of the #1 Product of All Time on Product Hunt"; launched publicly on April 29, 2025; currently 18 employees; shipping to first paying users; described as building "Cursor for knowledge work" ## Competitive Advantages - **Multiplayer AI**: Unlike single-user AI assistants, Sauna allows entire teams to share context and memory, and individual agents can communicate peer-to-peer. - **Always-on Cloud Agent**: Runs 24/7 in the cloud, working even when the user is offline—drafting, tracking, filing, and briefing autonomously. - **Massive Tool Integration**: Connects to over 3,000 tools and apps, with custom MCP connector support. - **Record Seed Round**: The largest seed round in YC history signals strong investor confidence and ample runway. ## Strategic Focus - Current priorities include scaling the agent runtime to handle 1000x current load, building out sandbox infrastructure for secure code execution, and expanding the product to serve more team workflows. The company is hiring heavily across engineering, product, and growth roles to accelerate product-market fit. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: Early-stage startup (18 people) with a "ship fast" ethos—one-week sprints, weekly demos, and features going from sketch to launch in days. The company uses its own product daily. - **Work Policy**: Fully in-office, five days a week at the Presidio in San Francisco. Relocation required for non-local candidates. - **Compensation**: Competitive base salary ($180K–$240K for Senior Full Stack Engineer), meaningful early-stage equity, health/dental, 401(k), considerable PTO, gym budget, and lunch provided. - **Engineering Culture**: Work directly with the CTO; own infrastructure decisions that determine system reliability at scale; build real-time streaming, task queues, and multi-model LLM routing. - **Hiring Process**: Simple and fast—exceptional candidates can go from first touch to offer within 2 weeks. Includes a paid in-person work trial (a few days to two weeks). ## Sources 1. [sauna.ai](https://www.sauna.ai/) 2. [builtin.com - Sauna Jobs](https://builtin.com/company/sauna/jobs) 3.
