About the Role
We're hiring our founding technical hire — a Senior Technical Lead who will own the entire technical vision and execution. This is a co-builder role, not a cog-in-machine role.
What You'll Own:
Designing and building custom AI implementations for SMB clients — from discovery through deployment
Integrations across the platforms our clients already use (Toast, Square, Mindbody, QuickBooks, HubSpot)
Our AI tooling stack (Claude API, Make.com, Clay) and the internal systems that power delivery
Ongoing maintenance, optimization, and evolution of client AI systems
Client-facing portal and delivery infrastructure
Technical hiring as we scale
What We're Looking For:
8+ years of engineering experience shipping real SaaS products
AI-native workflow: Cursor, Claude API, Make.com are daily tools, not experiments
Led a small team. You think in business outcomes, not just code
Former founding engineer or technical co-founder is a strong signal
Comfortable with ambiguity. You build the plane while flying it.
Compensation:
$160,000 - $200,000 base salary
4.5% equity (founding-level)
Fully remote, US-based
