AI-generated questions, company research, and talking points tailored to this role


Responsibilities

  • Ship at Breakneck Speed: You will be expected to deliver results twice as fast as the industry would consider possible.
  • Full Stack & Beyond: You'll touch everything. Frontend, backend, database, infrastructure. You solve the problem, whatever the stack requires.
  • Listen to the End User: You aren't afraid or uncomfortable working with raw data and using it to build the spec for yourself.

Requirements

  • The "Cheater": You use every tool available to move faster. Your sense of pride comes from shipping great products fast, no matter what it takes.
  • Visual Thinker: You can intuitively understand and reason around UI design and customer experience to build beautiful software that "just works".
  • AI Native: You aren't just "familiar" with LLMs. You know what they can and can't do, you know the limits of their APIs, and you never stop optimizing your development workflows.
  • Excellent Design Aesthetic: You know how to build beautiful products that "just work".
  • Know these Languages: JavaScript, PHP, React Native.
  • Deep AI Fluency: Fluent in the latest AI coding techniques beyond just the top level wrappers like Cursor or Copilot.
  • Startup DNA: You thrive in chaos. You don't need a manager to tell you what to do today. You see a fire, you put it out, or you build a robot to put it out.

Additional Information

Job Title: AI-Native Software Engineer We need an AI-first developer to help us revolutionize the service economy in the US. You should be an outlier who has fully bought into AI-first development. You should be able to ship a feature in 3 hours that takes a traditional senior engineer 3 days, so if you're used to waiting three days for a code review, you won't survive here.
