Description

  • Partner with a small team of engineers to architect and build the technical foundation for a new venture.
  • Write the first lines of code and evolve the product as requirements and learnings change.
  • Use AI coding assistants, LLMs, and automation to accelerate development and iteration.
  • Design systems that are lightweight enough to ship quickly but flexible enough to pivot.
  • Build functional prototypes and clickable user flows that feel close to the final product.
  • Work end-to-end across APIs, UI interactions, and database schema changes to keep momentum high.
  • Make tradeoffs between quick experiments and more hardened implementations.
  • Collaborate closely with Product and Design to ensure technical feasibility informs the product vision.
  • Validate assumptions through low-fidelity experiments, dogfooding, and rapid refinement.

Requirements

  • Comfort working in high-ambiguity, 0→1 environments where learning is a primary outcome.
  • Generalist experience across frontend, backend, and infrastructure.
  • Willingness to take on occasional Android work when needed.
  • Clear, proven use of AI tools such as Cursor, Copilot, or LLM agents to speed coding, debugging, and synthesis.
  • Strong product intuition and the ability to translate complex workflows into intuitive interfaces and systems.
  • History of building and shipping products quickly through side projects, early-stage startups, or rapid experimentation teams.
  • Experience working on early-stage products, internal incubations, or rapid experimentation teams is preferred.
  • A portfolio of work, personal projects, or open-source contributions is preferred.
  • Team-first approach and comfort working in small, collaborative pods.
  • No specific number of years of experience is required for this role.

Benefits

  • Competitive compensation with a base salary range of $193,000-$309,000 for Zone A, $168,000-$269,000 for Zone B, and $151,000-$242,000 for Zone C.
  • Additional total rewards including cash compensation such as overtime and eligible bonus/commissions.
  • Equity as part of the total rewards package.
  • Benefits designed to support a healthy lifestyle and changing personal needs.
  • Flexible remote or hybrid work options, with US remote, Boston hybrid, or New York hybrid locations.
  • A culture that supports learning and use of AI tools across disciplines.
  • Reasonable accommodations for candidates with disabilities during the hiring process.
