I'm hiring a founding engineer for Telepathic. JD below. Compensation ranges from $120k-$180k

At Telepathic, we’re building the world’s first autonomous SEO department and are looking for an exceptional Product Engineer as a fourth hire.

We recently raised from some of the best in the business: Cofounder, CEO @ Perplexity; Cofounder, CTO @ Slack; s16 vc; and many more. We’re rapidly iterating our product with paying customers of various sizes. We’re a fully technical team and are based in one of the best startup ecosystems in the heart of San Francisco.

The company

You’ll be joining a team who know what they’re doing. Killian (Founder) was previously a CTO, is an Entrepreneur First alumn, and has also built rockets & Hyperloop pods in the past.

We recently launched our first version of a product and have gotten majorly excited feedback. We’re going live with our first customers in the coming weeks and have a ton of eagerly awaited changes we need to implement.

The vision ️

We’re building the world’s first autonomous SEO department .

We’re doing this because we want to help the best brands get found. Search is rapidly changing right now and there’s a huge opportunity to change organic marketing permanently. Soon, the internet will be navigated primarily by agents and buying decisions will largely determined by AIs, only with final human approval.

We’re building an AI-native search department to allow your brand to get found.

What if this works? The market for this is enormous. Over $80bn/year is spent on SEO and this will increase when more and more of buying journey happens before even talking to sales. Help us change search for the internet.

The person ????

The most important things are that you have exceptional ability and can take responsibility.

Signs this might be for you:

• Ownership : You likely have been or want to be a founder. At Telepathic, you’ll have founding-level ownership of what you build, what technology you use, and why you’re building it.
• Technical mastery : We don’t care if you don’t know some of the languages we use. The skills required to be a programmer are changing on a monthly basis. We also expect you to be using AI for pretty much every part of everything you build. That said, you must be a fantastic engineer who can release high quality, reliable code fast. Experience level is flexible.
• Agentic : You’re someone who has huge influence over outcomes.
• Fast learner : Nobody’s perfect. Instead we want to be able to share feedback frequently, and receive feedback from you. This should be the fastest learning period of your career.
• Fun : We want to make this the most enjoyable chapter of your life.

You likely won’t like it here if:

• You want easy work. What we’re doing is really tough. This requires the best people working at their very best on complex problems. Expect intensity and expect to be rewarded with promotions and benefits for A* work and a generous severance package for anything less.
• You don’t care about delivering customer value. Programming is super important but this isn’t the place to patiently write complex code. Instead, it’s about finding shortcuts and simplifications to deliver huge value for customers.

The role

You’ll be doing the following:

• Engineering leadership : Craft the architecture and establish technical standards that will set the tone for years to come.
• Full stack coding : It’s no problem if you’re stronger in frontend, backend, devops but ultimately you’ll need to ship features across the stack, balancing speed and technical debt.
• Product vision : Collaborate with customers to build a beautiful, intuitive, valuable product. Have say in the company strategy and product direction.

Super simple.

• React Typescript (Tailwind)
• Supabase
• Railway (node) but mostly serverless

The logistics
