  • Full Ownership: You will not be limited to one stack; you will tackle infra, full-stack, and support as the company grows.


Who You Are

  • Level 3 Autonomy: You operate independently, know when to shift into execution mode, and do not need to be managed.
  • AI Practitioner: 1+ years of experience using AI to solve complex, unstructured problems.
  • Technically Exceptional: You have demonstrable "edge"—something that makes you clearly stand out as exceptional.
  • Communicator: You can translate deep technical complexity into simple language for the team.
  • Gritty & Driven: You are curious, courageous, and thrive outside your comfort zone.


Compensation & Perks

  • Equity: 0.25% – 2.0%.
  • Location: Fully in-person in San Francisco, CA.
