ABOUT THE ROLE
Join an early-stage marketing technology team as its first engineer, owning product features from initial customer problem through launch and ongoing improvement. You will work closely with the founders and customers to build software that helps organizations improve their visibility across AI-powered search.
WHAT YOU'LL DO
- Identify customer needs and shape them into simple, useful product experiences.
- Build and maintain end-to-end features across frontend, backend, data, and LLM systems.

- Ship customer-focused software quickly while maintaining production quality.
- Speak directly with customers and use their feedback to guide product improvements.
WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR
- Two to four years of relevant engineering experience, including early-stage startup or founding experience and experience taking products from zero to one.
- Experience owning full-stack product work from an ambiguous problem through a live product, including production SaaS features.
- Strong TypeScript and React experience, with familiarity with Vite, Supabase, Vercel, and ClickHouse.
- Experience building across frontend, backend, data, and production LLM pipelines or agents.
- An AI-native development workflow, using coding agents, MCP, or similar tools in day-to-day engineering.
- Good product judgment and the ability to design straightforward UX for complex workflows.
- Clear English communication skills and confidence working directly with customers.
- SEO, GEO, or marketing technology experience is useful.
