What you'll own

Use AI to rethink the software local businesses rely on, and own what you build from the first prototype to production.

  • Build AI agents that help local businesses get found and win customers.
  • Ship features that make entire products in the space obsolete.
  • Go from an idea to something customers can use, fast.
  • Own the quality and reliability of what you ship.

You'll fit if

You've shipped production software and stayed responsible for it. You're comfortable with TypeScript, React, and Postgres, and can explain a difficult technical decision clearly.

You're deeply AI-pilled and fluent in Claude Code and Codex. You've built your workflow around coding agents because they let you explore ideas and ship useful software much faster. You know how to give them context and run work in parallel, while staying responsible for what reaches production.

Work closely with Dylan and Amadeus. Bring good judgment and examples of work you're proud of.
