AI-Native Engineering

AI is a core part of our development workflow.

You should be able to use AI aggressively while still exercising strong engineering judgment:

Provide the right context

Break complex problems into smaller tasks

Review and validate generated code

Verify technical claims and documentation

Test edge cases and security

Benchmark solutions

Know when AI is wrong

AI should make you faster—not less thoughtful.

Product Mindset

You won't just receive specifications. You will be expected to think about:

What problem are we solving?

Who is the user?

Is there a simpler solution?

What are competitors doing?

Can we validate the idea before building it?

How will we measure success?

You will own product and technical due diligence for the work you take on.

Who We're Looking For

We want someone who is self-driven, curious, and hungry to grow.

Someone who:

Learns without being told

Builds because they are curious

Reads documentation and figures things out

Uses AI intelligently

Takes ownership when things break

Is comfortable saying "I don't know" and finding the answer

Cares about product quality and user experience

Wants to become significantly better over the next 2–3 years

This role is not for someone who only wants to complete tickets. It is for someone who wants to become a strong product-minded engineer and eventually own major parts of a startup.

Researching a real problem

Evaluating solutions

Using AI tools effectively

Building a working prototype

Explaining technical decisions

Discussing what you'd improve for production

If you want to build, experiment, learn fast, and take ownership—apply.

Build, don't just code.
