Context

We’re a stealth-ish startup backed by a16z building a new kind of email experience powered by AI. This goes far beyond AI-generated summaries and responses in the same old Gmail UI that hasn’t changed in 20 years - we’re reimagining everything from the ground up.

Our tiny team has built product at Google and founded venture backed startups funded by some of the best investors. We’re currently in NYC/remote but we will be focusing on more in-person coworking in NYC and SF as we grow.

What we're looking for...

We are looking for a passionate software engineer with 5-10 years of experience based in New York (or willing to relocate) to join our founding team. This is a full stack role, but you will be focusing heavily on AI.

Responsibilities

• Build the backend and data processing for a web app that helps people stay on top of their email, utilizing the latest LLMs and adjacent technologies
• Contribute to all other parts of the codebase, including the web app and backend (all javascript), as needed
• Ensure product is performant and data is extremely accurate and clean
• Work directly with the CEO/founder and other engineers to influence and execute the vision for the product
• Define and implement product development processes and technical standards that push the team to create the highest quality product as fast as possible

Qualifications

• Strong knowledge of and experience with Node, AWS and other banckend tech.
• Based in New York (or willing to relocate)
• 3-7 years of experience in startups, ideally a stint at a unicorn
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science or a related field
• Love AI - maybe you’ve been hacking on side projects and hanging out in slack communities
• Passionate - you throw yourself into your work, obsess over the details, and work nights and weekends for fun
• Strong communication and collaboration skills

Bonus (plus points if...)

• Experience building email and/or other viral consumer apps
• Experience as an early eng team member growing a product from 0 to 1
• Experience with Swift and React
• Have managed other engineers
• Have been a founder before

Benefits

• Ground floor opportunity - depending on the candidate, this role has strong potential to turn into a leadership position (even cofounder)
• Technically challenging, cutting edge and intellectually stimulating product
• Competitive compensation and benefits
• Flexible work schedule
