Description

The company is six people at an eight-figure annualized run rate. Customer demand is growing faster than we can handle.

A customer messages us. You understand the real problem, reproduce it, fix the code, ship the solution, and make sure it works.

You do not forward tickets.

Responsibilities

  • Work directly with customers every day
  • Debug and solve their hardest problems
  • Build integrations, features, fixes, and internal tools
  • Turn repeated customer pain into product improvements
  • Learn the entire the company stack extremely fast
  • Use agents aggressively to ship faster
  • Find the most important fire and own it until it is dead
  • Who can apply
  • Your startup must no longer be your full-time focus. We want someone ready to commit completely to the company.
  • We specifically want founders because you already understand:
  • Customers do not care whose responsibility something is
  • The correct job changes every hour
  • Speed matters
  • Nobody is coming to save you
  • The mission comes first
  • The environment
  • San Francisco. In person. Extremely intense.
  • We are building a championship team. We care deeply about each other, tell each other the truth, and hold extremely high standards.
  • If you want remote work, predictable hours, or a narrow engineering role, do not apply.
  • Experience: 3+ years
  • Visa: US citizen/visa only
