Job description

San Francisco, CA, US Full-time US citizen/visa only 3+ years

We want a former YC founder to help us handle it.

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.

What you will do

• 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
• Use agents aggressively to ship faster
• Find the most important fire and own it until it is dead

Who can apply

You personally founded or co-founded a YC-backed 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.
