ABOUT THE ROLE We're an early-stage AI-powered talent acquisition startup on a mission to replace the traditional job application process with smart, direct introductions between candidates and hiring teams. Our platform acts as a personalized AI talent agent — understanding candidate preferences through natural conversation and connecting them directly with the right opportunities at startups. We're hiring our first full-time Founding Frontend Engineer to help shape and build the consumer-facing product from the ground up. This is a high-ownership, high-impact role at the heart of our product and engineering team.

WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR Required: - 3–5 years of frontend development experience, with a strong focus on consumer/B2C products. - At least 2 years of experience at a B2C company — you understand what great consumer UX feels like. - Proficiency with Figma and comfortable working directly from design files. - Hands-on experience with AI coding tools (e.g., Copilot, Cursor, or similar). - Authorized to work in the United States — visa sponsorship is not available. Nice to Have: - Experience working in early-stage startups or as part of a founding team. - Willingness to be present in San Francisco, Los Angeles, or New York City as needed. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS - Salary: €55,000 – €65,000 annually - Founding team equity and early-stage upside - Direct impact on product direction and company culture LOCATION This is a hybrid role based primarily in San Francisco, CA.
