The role
This company helps content creators launch their own branded membership products, providing essential tools for content hosting, payments, growth, and AI features. They are bootstrapped, profitable, and have recently tripled revenue, serving hundreds of thousands of end users.
This is the first engineering hire, working directly with the technical co-founder. You will lead the agentic and AI-powered side of the platform, owning features end-to-end from concept to deployment. This isn't a ticket-taking role; it's about building a creator operating system, shipping daily based on direct user feedback, and seeing your work impact hundreds of thousands of users immediately.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
