Founding Engineer

About this role

We are looking for a Founding Engineer to help build out the future of a startup. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and growth, and you'll be wearing multiple hats at almost everything you do, and you'll be expected to learn very fast on the fly.

The ideal candidate is a builder and doer first - someone who has demonstrated true hustle in identifying opportunities and getting things done. Our ideal teammate should be unreasonably obsessive - over product, users, code, growth - and relentless in everything they do. You'll have direct impact on both product decisions and real users' experiences from day one.

Core Requirements:

• Strong engineering fundamentals, rigorous 4 year CS degree or equivalent
• Very strong ambition and drive to learn fast
• Track record of creative problem-solving and resourceful execution
• Fluency with using AI to make you more efficient and creative and ability
• Maniacal obsession to be great and willing to go all in on being the best at whatever you apply yourself to

Preferred/What Makes You Stand Out:

• Experience working on consumer products that people use, especially in social/gaming/AI spaces
• Experience with growth hacking, and rigorous experimentation mindset
• History of entrepreneurial projects or early-stage startup experience

What You'll Do:

• Build new features using React, engage with users to determine what to build, and conduct funnel work related to growth engineering.
• Apply technical expertise to marketing tasks, such as optimizing Customer Acquisition Cost (CAC), evaluating channel performance, and deciding whether to cut or try new channels. there's significant room for experimentation and proposing new ideas!
• Prototype new interactions for virtual people, such as enabling users to play games with AI on screen share.
