Builder

About the role

We build AI employees—not chatbots or copilots. Autonomous digital workers that do real jobs. Ava, our first, is an AI BDR used by hundreds of companies. She researches leads, writes and sends emails in the customer's voice, runs multi-step outbound sequences, manages her own deliverability infrastructure, handles replies, and books meetings. She's not a tool someone opens; she's a teammate who works while you sleep.

You build products from end-to-end, acting as the PM, designer, and engineer. You spec, design, ship, and own the outcome. The loop from "this is a problem" to "customers are using it in production" runs through one person in days, and that person is you. We're hiring Builders to move at lightning speed. You’ll understand the user, shape the interface, write the code, and iterate rapidly.

• Review our backlog
• Talk to customers
• Decide what matters
• Build and ship
• Iterate & scale
• Repeat

Who this is for

You probably fit one of these paths:

• You founded something. You built the product and closed the customers. You wrote code on Sunday and pitched investors on Monday. You know what it feels like to hold the whole thing in your head, and you miss that.
• You're a sales engineer who can actually ship. You've spent years being the bridge between product and GTM. At some point, you realized you're better at building the thing than explaining it, and the AI tooling finally caught up to let you do that at speed.
• You were in sales and taught yourself to code. You carried a bag, hit quota, got bored, picked up TypeScript. Now you're dangerous with Claude Code and have strong, specific opinions about what every tool in the sales stack gets wrong.

What we're actually looking for:

• You ship production TypeScript and React. You don't need to be a staff engineer, but you need to land features in a real codebase without hand-holding. AI tooling is a force multiplier for you, not a substitute for understanding what you're writing.
• You know outbound from the inside. You've sent cold emails, run sequences, and sold a product.
• You have taste. You care how things look and feel. You make product decisions and defend them. You don't wait to be told what to build, and you don't ship something you don't believe in.
• You care about the products you build and are happy to maintain them and fix bugs.

Bonus:

• You've launched a sales, CRM, or outbound tool that got actual users, even a side project.
• A public body of work (GitHub, X, personal site, shipped products) that makes hiring you feel obvious.

Why this role

• You are the team. No specs sitting in a queue, no waiting on design, no engineering handoff. The fastest feedback loop possible.
• The leverage is real. You’ll ideate a product, and it will be in the hands of thousands of users within weeks.
• The problems are new. You’re building components of AI employees, solving novel problems in new ways.

Culture

• Founder mindset. Everyone acts like an owner. Take initiative, think big, push for 10x outcomes.
• Obsessed with impact. Apply 80/20, kill sunk costs, focus on what moves the needle.
• Customer-first, always. Every decision starts with the customer experience.
• High standards, every detail. Code, copy, design, Slack messages. Quality shows up everywhere or nowhere.
• Clear, direct communication. Candor, fast responses, real feedback.
• Winning team energy. Low ego, zero drama, we actually enjoy building together.
