About this Role

We’re looking for a Staff Founding Engineer to own the technical direction on our engineering team, mentor other engineers, and partner closely with product and design to deliver fast, reliable, and magical user experiences. This role is deeply hands-on. You’ll be writing and reviewing code daily, shaping architecture, and helping scale our platform as we grow.

What you will do

• Lead the architecture, implementation, and delivery of user-facing products (dashboard, real-time voice AI, support tooling)
• Write high-quality, production-grade TypeScript across the stack (Next.js, Bun)
• Mentor and guide engineers through code reviews, design discussions, and technical planning
• Collaborate directly with Product and Design to align on priorities and execute quickly
• Partner with other pods to integrate intelligent features into the product experience
• Drive engineering velocity while maintaining reliability and system health
• Work closely with customers to translate their feedback into scalable product improvements

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience in TypeScript, low-level Node.js (Bun), T3 Stack (Next.js, React, Prisma, PostgreSQL, NextAuth, tRPC)
• 5+ years of experience building and scaling full-stack web applications
• Experience leading projects or teams in fast-paced environments
• Care about craft and speed (you can move quickly without compromising on quality)
• Desire to continuously learn

Don’t think you meet all the qualifications? Apply anyway. We’d love to hear what excites you about us, and we may have a role that's a good fit for you.
