This is the first engineering hire, working directly with the technical co-founder. You will lead the agentic and AI-powered side of the platform, owning features end-to-end from concept to deployment. This isn't a ticket-taking role; it's about building a creator operating system, shipping daily based on direct user feedback, and seeing your work impact hundreds of thousands of users immediately.

The work

• Design, build, and ship agentic and AI-powered features, taking them from vague briefs to production.
• Engage directly with content creators to understand needs, then rapidly prototype and deploy solutions.
• Own significant product areas end-to-end, from ideation through to deployment and iteration.
• Operate in a high-leverage environment, using modern AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, or Codex daily.
• Contribute across the full stack, ensuring robust and scalable solutions for a platform serving hundreds of thousands of users.

What You Bring

• 3+ years of engineering experience at a product-driven company.
• Proven experience shipping agentic or AI-powered features in production, navigating non-deterministic systems.
• Full-stack fluency: Next.js, Node, Postgres, Stripe, AWS.
• Daily proficiency with AI coding tools (e.g., Cursor, Claude Code, Codex).
• A builder's mindset: you thrive on ambiguity, drive projects to completion, and contribute to product strategy.
