## Job description

## ABOUT COFOUNDER

At General Intelligence, we’re building highly-capable autonomous agents for startups. Our goal is to enable the one-person, one-billion-dollar company.

Our product, Cofounder, enables entrepreneurs to start and run companies. Using it should feel more like a company-building game where users coordinate agents, unlock roadmap nodes, run missions, build artifacts, grow departments, and make revenue go up.

## WHAT YOU’LL OWN

- End-to-end product work across the agent experience: flows, integrations, and UI/UX
- Flows: creation, editing, run criteria, execution reliability, and observability
- Integrations: add new integrations and deepen existing ones
- UI/UX: work on novel, interesting ways of building human<>agent interactions
- Product sense for complex UX: making powerful systems feel simple and reliable
- Ship features across the stack with a tight feedback loop from real users (frontend + backend)
- Improve performance, reliability, and cost across agent runs and flow execution
- Build instrumentation, analytics, and developer tooling to speed up iteration
- Maintain a high bar for code quality, tests, observability, and documentation

## REQUIREMENTS

- 4+ years building and shipping user-facing products end to end
- Frontend: React/Next.js (or equivalent), TypeScript; component-driven development, performance profiling, accessibility, data fetching/state, optimistic UI and cache invalidation
- Backend: Python FastAPI, background workers/queues, webhooks, Postgres (or similar) schema design, transactions, migrations
- Solid testing and observability habits (unit/integration tests, metrics, traces, structured logs)
- Bias to ship: scope thin slices, deliver quickly, instrument, iterate

## NICE TO HAVE

- Event-driven architectures, WebSockets/real-time UIs
- LLM/agent experience: tool-use patterns, prompt hygiene, guardrails, evaluation
- Infra familiarity (Vercel/AWS/Modal/Supabase/Redis Cloud or equivalent), CI/CD, feature flags

## WHY JOIN

- Ship directly to engaged users; your work is visible and high-impact
- Build the core of an autonomous agent platform with real integrations and real workloads
- Small, elite team; high ownership; fast decisions; zero bureaucracy

## About The General Intelligence Company of New York

## Company Overview
- **One-liner**: The General Intelligence Company is building AI agents that run entire businesses autonomously, enabling a one-person billion-dollar company.
- **Entity Type**: Private (Seed stage; raised $8.7M Seed round in December 2025)
- **Headquarters**: New York, New York, United States (also has an office in San Francisco)
- **Founded**: January 2025
- **Founders**: Abhishyant Khare (Cofounder, CTO) and Andrew P. (Co-founder, CEO)

## Core Business
- **Primary industry**: Applied AI / Enterprise Automation / Agentic Platforms
- **Target customers**: Entrepreneurs, small business owners, and anyone wanting to start or run a business using autonomous agents (B2B, SMB, solopreneurs)
- **Mission**: To enable the one-person one-billion dollar company – a world where anyone with an idea can start and run a business with AI agents.

## Products & Services
- **[Cofounder](https://cofounder.co)**: An agentic platform that lets users automate their entire business using natural language. Cofounder can handle functions like coding, customer support, marketing, sales, and cross-functional coordination. It evolved from a single-agent tool (Cofounder 1.5) to a multi-agent orchestration platform (Cofounder 2) that runs an entire company with agents.

## Market Standing
- **Valuation/Market Cap**: Not publicly disclosed
- **Key Metric**: Total funding of $10.7M across two rounds:
  - Pre-Seed (May 2025): $2.0M led by Compound and Acrew Capital
  - Seed (December 2025): $8.7M led by Union Square Ventures, with participation from Acrew Capital, Compound, Scott Belsky, Yohei Nakajima, Agent Fund, Mute Ventures, and others
- **Notable Investors/Partners**: Compound, Acrew Capital, Union Square Ventures, Scott Belsky, Yohei Nakajima
- **Growth Signals**: 
  - Headcount grew from ~1 to 11 employees (+500% YoY) in its first year
  - SOC-2 certified (December 2025)
  - Launched Cofounder 2 (agentic companies platform) in May 2026
  - Introduced The General Intelligence Fellowship (March 2026) offering $1,000 upfront + $100/day in credits
  - Strong LinkedIn follower growth (+18.7% monthly, reaching 3,634 followers)

## Competitive Advantages
- **Full-stack business automation**: Unlike narrow AI agents that handle only one function (e.g., coding or customer support), General Intelligence is building a coordinator agent that orchestrates swarms of agents across all business functions.
- **Agent-native engineering**: The company practices what it calls “Agent Native Engineering” – engineers ship 20+ PRs daily using heavy AI tooling, enabling extreme velocity.
- **Design-forward culture**: They emphasize beautiful, functional products, not just utilitarian AI tools.
- **First-mover in “agentic companies”**: They are explicitly targeting the vision of a fully autonomous company, a frontier most AI labs are only beginning to explore.

## Strategic Focus
- **Enable the one-person billion-dollar company**: The core strategic bet is that small teams (or even one person) armed with powerful agents can run vast, complex businesses.
- **Continuous platform evolution**: From Cofounder 1.0 to 1.5 (improved memory) to Cofounder 2 (multi-agent orchestration) – rapid iteration based on user feedback.
- **Talent density**: Hiring only “founding” engineers and researchers, maintaining a flat organization with no silos, and a culture of extreme cycle time.

## Why Work Here
- **Culture highlights**: 
  - “No Bullshit Meetings” – only meet when needed and with the right people.
  - “Cycle Time” is everything – ship fast, learn fast.
  - “No Backlog” – if an idea is good it will come back; otherwise it’s noise.
  - “No Silos” – flat organization, everyone works across product, engineering, and users.
  - “Design Culture” – products must be beautiful, not just functional.
  - “Speed Over Everything” and “Delete the Part” – cut anything that doesn’t add value.
- **Remote/Hybrid/Office**: Primarily in-office in New York City (HQ) with a San Francisco office. The careers page lists roles as “Full Time” with no explicit remote tag, suggesting strong in-person presence.
- **Notable perks/engineering culture**: 
  - Engineers are expected to use the best AI tooling without limits – “one of the most AI-forward companies in the world.”
  - Small, dedicated teams with intense focus.
  - High ownership – all early hires are “Founding” roles (e.g., Founding Designer, Founding Backend Engineer).
  - The company believes in “working hard and living a fulfilling life” – a balance of intensity and quality of life.
