About:

We're hiring a Founding Engineer to help build us a new product from the ground up. We want someone who can take a design doc and a direction and ship it fast and bug-free, with little supervision. The best fit is someone genuinely into personal AI assistants.

The role:

  • Ship features end to end - from a design doc and a direction, with little back-and-forth.
  • Build the agent - tool calling, browser automation, email and message parsing, and memory.
  • Own the backend - data models, services, integrations and deployment.
  • Move fast - pragmatic architecture and tech debt are fine. Bugs, or a UX that falls short of what was asked for, are not.

What we're looking for:

The bar is high: we're looking for people who are a clear "hell yeah." A "maybe" is a no.

  • Agency - give you a goal and you go. You unblock yourself and come back with something that works.
  • Agent/Harness engineering - you've built the system around the model, not just called its API: tool calling, memory, context management, and keeping an agent reliable across long, multi-step tasks.
  • Bias toward shipping - fast and bug-free, even if the code underneath is scrappy.
  • Strong Bonus: A revealed interest in personal AI assistants - shown by your website, projects or work history, not just what you say.

Bonus: you've built your own assistant, or worked with OpenClaw or Hermes (or built your own version of one).

Example projects:

The kind of thing that would make your application stand out:

  • A personal assistant on WhatsApp, Telegram or iMessage that reads your email and calendar and texts you first.
  • A fork of OpenClaw or Hermes with skills you wrote, or your own agent built from scratch with tool calling and memory.
  • A browser agent that does a real chore end to end, like finding products and filling a shopping cart.
