We’re partnering with an early-stage AI-driven startup building a next-generation personal project manager — an intelligent assistant on your smartphone that helps turn intent into action. Through simple micro-interactions, the system routes tasks to the right person or AI agent, and presents everything requiring your attention in one unified feed.
The company is a small, highly experienced team led by a deeply technical founder with a strong track record (three B2C products, $200M+ combined valuation, one successful exit). Backed by $3M in pre-seed funding, the team is moving fast toward an MVP and preparing for public launch.
They’re now looking for a Founding Engineer — the main technical member of the team who will take full ownership of the backend and architecture. This is not a managerial role. The team is intentionally engineering-driven: they want someone who loves coding, thrives in hands-on work, and can design robust systems from scratch. Over time, the role will naturally expand into helping hire and shape the future technical team.
What you’ll do
Own the backend: design domain models, service boundaries, and clean REST APIs for the iOS app.
