Descrição da oferta de emprego

About Bliss Mental health is broken for anyone who leaves home.

Therapists don't speak your language, don't understand your culture, and 94% of AI systems show 0 cultural awareness. We're fixing that.

Bliss is building the first culturally intelligent mental health AI, starting with AI-powered Digital Twins of real therapists, designed to bridge language, culture, and lived experience.

We've validated our model with strong retention, an active therapist pipeline, and partnerships starting to form across Europe and the US. Backed by Plug&Play and Founder of Slush & Angry Birds.

Now we're looking for a technical partner who wants to build mission-critical systems from the ground up, fast, thoughtfully, and with meaningful real-world impact.

About the Role

This isn't a "join a big team and inherit a roadmap" kind of role.

You will :

• Set the technical direction for Bliss
• Architect and build the next evolution of our product
• Lead the development of our AI layer :
  • Therapist Digital Twins
  • Recommendation engine + matching
  • AI companions rooted in cultural nuance
  • Data pipelines & embeddings for knowledge extraction
• Prototype ideas quickly to validate direction before committing to full builds
• Build lightweight versions first → scale what works
• Work directly with the founder to shape product strategy, not just execute it
• Take ownership for turning a validated concept into a scalable platform

You are the kind of person who prefers building to talking, loves figuring out unknowns, and likes being early when nothing exists yet.

What We're Looking For

Must-Have

• Strong product thinking : you care why we build, not just how
• Experience shipping AI-powered features (LLMs, agents, RAG, embeddings, fine-tuning, vector DBs, etc.)
• Ability to architect clean, scalable systems (even if we start scrappy)
• Comfortable leading technical decisions and working independently
• Excited about rapid prototyping and iteration

Nice-to-Have

• Bubble experience (or willingness to learn fast)
• Prior startup or 0→1 experience
• An eye for UX or at least empathy for how users behave
• Interest in mental health, cultural intelligence, or AI ethics

Why This Matters

We're not building "yet another therapy app."

We're building the infrastructure for culturally aligned mental health worldwide, something global platforms have failed to do for 15+ years. And you would be the person building the core architecture that makes it possible.

What Makes This Role Different

Founder-level autonomy : You influence what we build, how we build it, and why.

Direct impact : Your work will improve mental health access for communities that have been ignored.

0→1 ownership : You'll build foundations, not maintain legacy systems.

No politics, no bureaucracy : Just execution, iteration, and collaboration.

You're here to co-create a category-defining product.

If this sounds like you...

Apply. Drop your GitHub at [e-mail]. Share a project you hacked together at 2am because you had to build it.

We care about how you think, how you build, and how you learn.

Compensation

2000 - 3000 USD + stock options
