Job description

Founding Software Engineer — San Francisco, CA (in-person)

About us

Our partner is building a one-person AI marketing service. We went from 0 to $500k ARR in 90 days while in stealth and are now assembling an all-star team to launch and scale.

The role

Work directly with the CTO to design, build, and scale the world’s first AI-native B2B content generation platform. You will own mission-critical surfaces, ship quickly, and set engineering culture from day one.

What you’ll do

  • Own a core pillar such as web scraping at scale, pipeline optimization, or multimodal/voice AI interfaces
  • Create novel AI-native experiences that combine text and video generativity
  • Build net-new features and harden them against unexpected user behavior
  • Drive ideas end to end: talk to users (if you want), translate needs into designs, and ship

You might be a fit if you have

  • Excellence and ambition: you’ve been best-in-class at something and want to be the best in the world
  • Unorthodox thinking: you spot non-obvious angles and move faster and smarter because of it
  • Dedication: high-tempo work ethic, comfortable working most days alongside a like-minded team
  • EQ and agency: you read the room, communicate crisply, and believe you can learn almost anything
  • Preference for in-person collaboration in San Francisco

We’re especially excited by people who

  • Live in the backend and obsess over performant, scalable systems
  • Breathe Figma and care about interaction design as much as implementation
  • Built their own scrapers when none existed
  • Have dabbled in short-form video creation and enjoy crafting compelling content

Location and setup In-person in San Francisco.

Compensation

Base salary: $150k–$250k, plus meaningful equity.
