Town starts from who you are. It builds a persistent model of you — your voice, judgment, relationships, priorities — and does real work on your behalf across every tool you use: email, calendar, docs, Slack, CRM. It doesn't wait to be prompted. It observes, learns, and acts. The more you use it, the more it becomes an extension of you. We most recently raised a $55M Series A led by Andreessen Horowitz, with participation from Forerunner Ventures, First Round Capital, Alt Capital, and Conviction. We work in person in San Francisco's Financial District, five days a week. ## ABOUT THE ROLE We're looking for a founding iOS engineer to own the Town iOS app end-to-end and make the assistant feel native, fast, and trustworthy on Apple platforms. You'll build the surfaces where people hand Town their work and watch it act on their behalf. This is a small team, so you'll really own it all end to end: architecture, performance, and polish. Most "AI on iOS" today is a webview wrapper around a chat box. That isn't the bar. The bar is: a user picks up their iPhone, Town does the thing they actually wanted, and it feels like Apple shipped it themselves. ## WHAT YOU'LL DO - Own the Town iOS app end-to-end — architecture, performance, and the details that make it feel native. - Build and ship new mobile experiences that let users intuitively and easily hand Town real work and see it done. - Raise the bar on reliability, latency, and responsiveness across the app. - Work closely with product, design, and backend to turn ambitious ideas into shipped features. YOU MIGHT THRIVE HERE IF YOU... - Have experience building high-quality iOS applications in production. Maybe you've even built consumer apps at scale, or taken one from 0-1. - Know the Apple ecosystem cold — Xcode, SwiftUI, UIKit, and Swift concurrency. - Have owned a complex, business-critical iOS app end-to-end and made real architectural tradeoffs. - Care deeply about performance, security, and user experience — you can tell within seconds whether an app was built by people who care. - Have strong opinions about how a native app should behave and read the Apple Human Interface Guidelines for fun. - Move fast, decide at 70%, and run through walls to find the work. ## LOCATION In-person in San Francisco's Financial District (right near Montgomery BART), five days a week. ## About Town.com, Inc. ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: An applied AI company building a proactive, persistent AI assistant that learns how you work and acts on your behalf across email, calendar, docs, Slack, and CRM. - **Entity Type**: Private (Series A) - **Headquarters**: San Francisco, California, USA - **Founded**: 2024 - **Founders**: Jean-Denis Greze (CEO, former CTO of Plaid) and Tony Vincent (CPO, former Director of Applied AI at Google) ## Core Business - **Primary industries**: Artificial Intelligence, Enterprise Software, Productivity - **Target customers**: B2B (SMB to mid-market teams looking to automate knowledge work) - **Mission**: "Make it easy for anyone to create and use software in their everyday work." — Town careers page ## Products & Services - **[Town AI]**: A SaaS assistant that builds a persistent model of a user’s voice, judgment, relationships, and priorities. It observes, learns, and acts without waiting for prompts — triaging inbox, managing schedules, running workflows, and generating drafts. Replaces general-purpose chatbots like ChatGPT and Claude for daily work. ## Market Standing - **Valuation**: Not publicly disclosed - **Key Metric**: Total funding of **$73M** (Seed $18M + Series A $55M) — some sources report $78.1M, likely including a smaller prior round or adjusted amount. - **Notable Investors/Partners**: Series A led by **Andreessen Horowitz** with participation from **Forerunner Ventures**, **First Round Capital**, **Alt Capital**, and **Conviction**. Seed led by **First Round Capital**. Angel investors include Adam D’Angelo, Soleio Cuervo, and Immad Akhund. - **Growth Signals**: Headcount grew **82.4% year-over-year** (LinkedIn, 2026). Currently **13–31 employees** depending on source. Early customers report replacing Claude, ChatGPT, and “OpenClaw” with Town because it “actually understands them.” The company was founded in 2024 and closed a $55M Series A in May 2026, signaling strong investor confidence. ## Competitive Advantages - **Proactive persistence**: Town builds a model of the user’s preferences and takes action without explicit prompting — a deeper “memory” than chat-only AIs. - **Deep tool integration**: Connects to email, calendar, Slack, CRM, and docs, acting across all of them. - **Founder pedigree**: CEO scaled Plaid from $10M to $300M+ ARR; CPO co-founded a company acquired by Google and another by Dropbox. - **Early traction**: Customers report preferring Town over leading competitors for daily work. ## Strategic Focus - Aggressively building out the product and team in 2026 (5 open roles across engineering, product, design, business operations, and marketing). - Scaling from early adopters to a broader SMB/mid-market audience. - Continuing to iterate on the “persistent AI assistant” paradigm. ## Why Work Here - **Culture**: “Action first. Chat second.” Principles include owning outcomes, making decisions with 70% information, and debating hard with ego aside. - **Work environment**: Fully in‑person, five days a week in San Francisco’s Financial District. Early‑stage (one of first ~20 teammates) means high impact and ownership. - **Compensation**: AI Product Engineer $225K–$300K, Staff Backend Engineer $250K–$300K, Business Operations $130K–$170K, Product Marketing $150K–$200K — all with competitive equity. - **Benefits**: Fully covered medical, dental & vision; unlimited PTO; free daily lunch; commuter benefits; parental leave; 401(k). - **Team**: Engineers and operators from Plaid, Apple, Facebook, Stripe, Lyft, Dropbox, CrowdStrike, HubSpot, Quora, and Asana. ## Sources 1.
