Who We Are
We’re a scrappy, ambitious startup on a mission to empower the next generation of thinkers and writers through cutting-edge generative AI. We don’t just build; we innovate, we experiment, and we have fun doing it. We’re big on using open-source tech and contributing back when it makes sense. If you’re looking to join a team that knows when to work and when to sweat the details, we’re your people.
Who You Are
You’re a tech adventurer with at least 5 years of experience who can write killer code, crack a joke, and doesn’t break into a cold sweat when someone says “git rebase.” You know when to move fast, when to slow down, and – if not – you’re willing to learn the difference. If you find generative AI coding assistants amusingly dumb in the wrong hands but jaw-droppingly powerful in the right ones—come on in.
What You Bring to the Table
- Languages: Proficiency in Ruby/Ruby on Rails is essential. Bonus points if you can tango with JavaScript/TS, Python, Go, Rust, or Zig.
- Web App Mastery: You get the web stack: from HTTP/TCP to Websockets, HTML, HTMX, and enough CSS to not break things.
- ORM Savvy: You can use one, but you’re happier slinging SQL yourself.
- UI/UX Sense: You appreciate good design, even if your idea of a palette is “light mode or dark mode?”
- Git Ninja: You know your way around git rebase and git merge without needing a counselor.
- Fast Learner: You’re excited to play with shiny new tech and can get shit done without needing a babysitter.
- Team Player: You’ll work closely with our experienced CTO, soaking up knowledge and contributing your own wizardry.
Bonus Points if You
- Have dabbled with LLMs, training models, or Agentic workflows
- Understand that “scrappy” isn’t just a dog—it’s a way of life
- Think contributing to open source isn’t just cool; it’s the right thing to do
What You’ll Be Doing
- Collaborating with the CTO to build, optimize, and scale core products
- Writing robust, maintainable code across our stack
- Engaging in building and fine-tuning workflows that may involve generative AI pipelines
- Innovating within our open-source-first ecosystem and making meaningful contributions back
- Balancing the act of moving fast vs. being careful (sometimes on the same day)
Why You’ll Love Working With Us
- Ground Floor Vibes: Early-stage startup with room to grow and learn
- Flexibility: Work where you’re most productive
- A Fun Bunch: We mean business but aren’t afraid to crack a joke
- Tech Playground: We don’t just use the latest tech; we experiment and build it
