About the Role The code you write will directly power one of the biggest decisions in someone’s life: selling their legacy or stepping into ownership. It’s emotional, complex, and it deserves care.

You’ll join as our

third engineer , working directly with the founders and early team to transform customer insights into fast, reliable, and scalable software. We are a well‑funded, tight‑knit team based in San Francisco, building at the intersection of AI and marketplaces — where spreadsheets meet real people.

This is a unique opportunity to

own major parts of the stack, shape the technical foundation, and set the culture

for how we build.

What You Will Do

Work closely with customers, founders, and GTM teammates to rapidly turn insights into product.

Own implementation across the stack and evolve architecture as the product and team scale.

Write clean, maintainable code and champion technical excellence.

Infuse marketplace mechanics with modern AI (voice, video, text) to improve onboarding, search, matching, and transaction guidance.

Collaborate on LLM and RAG pipelines to power workflows and automate diligence.

Run rapid product experiments and learning loops grounded in real user behavior.

What We’re Looking For Seniority & Experience

6+ years as a full‑stack engineer (70/30 backend/frontend ideal).

2+ years at startups (0 → 1 experience required).

Proven record of shipping user‑facing products with real business impact.

Previous founder or founding engineer experience strongly preferred.

FAANG/big tech experience welcome, but startup experience is essential.

Education

BS in Computer Science strongly preferred.

Top 50 school plus.

Hard Skills

Proficiency in Python.

Experience with AI/ML systems (LLMs, RAG, embeddings, vector search, custom ML pipelines).

Django expertise.

React or Next.js experience.

Strong product instincts, UX focus, and bias for speed.

Soft Skills & Interests

High autonomy and entrepreneurial drive.

Interest in small businesses, entrepreneurship, or ownership transitions.

Curiosity for marketplace dynamics and applying AI to search, matching, and workflow challenges.

Why Join Us?

Join a founding‑stage team with outsized ownership and impact.

Build software that changes lives at pivotal moments.

Work on a product at the frontier of AI + marketplaces.

Help define both the technical foundation and company culture.

Interview Process

3 steps with the founding team, including technical and product conversations.
