Job description

We're seeking an extremely talented applied AI engineer to help reinvent the productivity suite for the AI era.

You must have experience designing and building large and complex (yet maintainable) systems, and you should be able to do so in about one-third the time that most competent people think possible.

• Familiarity with AI agent systems and building LLM products is essential
• You should be skilled in Node and Vue, and be comfortable working across the entire product stack
• You'll work closely with our Cofounder/CTO and top-notch technical and communication skills are important

Expect talented, motivated, intense, and interesting co-workers. The person who steps into this role will have a meaningful impact on Spell, and therefore your compensation will include meaningful equity ownership.

At Spell, we're reinventing the productivity suite for the AI era. For most people, work happens in documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. These are the universal tools, and we believe AI can make everyone 10x more effective in them.

We're starting with a collaborative AI document editor. Picture Google Docs or MS Word with ChatGPT inside of it - that's Spell. You'll never start from a blank page again. Just tell Spell what you want to create, and it instantly generates a high quality draft for you in seconds. What used to take days or weeks now takes minutes. Spell gets you 90% of the way there, and you fine tune the rest.

Our long-term vision is to build a unified, AI-native productivity suite that includes documents, spreadsheets, and presentations. These tools will share data seamlessly, so you can reference data from your sheet directly in your documents and presentations - empowering you to create faster, easier, and at a higher level of quality.

We're a team of engineers, designers, and growth folks solving fascinating technical challenges to build software that's simple, easy to use, and loved by our users. If you're excited about building the future of work and helping millions of people work more effectively, we'd love to hear from you.

To apply, please email your resume and a short note on a project you're proud of to [e-mail] .

If there appears to be a fit, we'll reach to schedule 2-3 short technicals. The final step is a small project that will give you and the Spell team a realistic sense of what it would be like to work together.

Go from blank page to polished doc 10x faster than Google Docs or Word
