We’re building the future of workflow automation with the power of LLMs. We’re looking for a full stack engineer with a passion for frontend. Our team is small and you will be one of our first full time hires. We’re looking for someone who is passionate about great user experience and design.

What you will do

Architect the frontend: we want to move fast but set ourselves up for the future. You will make opinionated decisions on concepts like state management. You will also need to strike the right balance between speed and composability (for example, building out a component library).
Think outside the box: we believe in learning quickly by meeting users where they are. We expect to ship many experiments using Chrome Extensions and other integrations. You will need to think outside the box to enable automation that was not possible before.
Implement great design: We believe great design and UX is a shared responsibility. We will need you to implement designs shared via Figma. More importantly, we will be looking to you to provide feedback on designs and suggest elements (animations, transitions etc) that we might not have thought of.

You are the right fit if you are…

✔️ Passionate about design and a great user experience
✔️ Well versed or interested in working with large language models
✔️ Enjoy thinking about problems like state management and performance challenges
✔️ Someone who enjoys working with NextJS and Typescript
✔️ Open to Python on the backend
✔️ Someone who enjoys autonomy, moving fast and operating with uncertainty

You are not the right fit if…

👎🏽 You want to manage a team. Whilst you will have the opportunity to set best practices and mentor other hires in the future, we are unlikely to have reporting lines for some time.
👎🏽 You are particular about what area of the codebase you work in. We’ll try to ensure you can spend time in the area that you love but we’ll often need you to step into other areas.
👎🏽 You want a predictable roadmap with clear structure like a PM. For an early stage startup, it’s hard (and probably bad) to have a very predictable roadmap.

Benefits

Remote-first. We’re happy for you to work from anywhere as long as you are available between 2PM - 6PM GMT.
Competitive salary and equity. We offer best in class compensation and a generous equity package.
Annual offsite: We’ll get together once a year in a fun location.
