Summary
About this role
75% of the best candidates never apply to jobs. They're not looking. They're building.
We're building AI agents that do the actual work of recruiting: finding passive candidates, reaching out, qualifying, coaching, scheduling. End to end. No job boards. No applications. Direct connections between great people and great companies.
We raised a pre-seed from top investors and have been growing to marketplace scale (40K+ talents, hundreds of top startup customers). Now we need someone to help build the infrastructure that scales this 100x.
You'll work directly with our CTO Daniel and ship to production daily. This isn't ticket duty. You'll own entire systems and see them in the hands of users the same week.
Location: San Francisco · Visa sponsorship available
You'll take ownership of one or more of these systems as we scale:
TypeScript, React, Next.js, Supabase, Prisma, Typesense, OpenAI/Claude APIs, Trigger.dev
We're not checking boxes. We want someone who's done hard things and can show their work.
Don't have all of these? If you've done something impressive that's not on this list, we want to hear about it.
Small team, big ambitions. You'll work directly with the founders.
We respect your time. No endless rounds.
