Who We Are

We're a scrappy, ambitious startup on a mission to empower the next generation of thinkers and writers through cutting-edge generative AI. We don't just build; we innovate, we experiment, and we have fun doing it. We're big on using open-source tech and contributing back when it makes sense. If you're looking to join a team that knows when to work and when to sweat the details, we're your people.

Who You Are

You're a tech adventurer with at least 5 years of experience who can write killer code, crack a joke, and doesn't break into a cold sweat when someone says "git rebase." You know when to move fast, when to slow down, and - if not - you're willing to learn the difference. If you find generative AI coding assistants amusingly dumb in the wrong hands but jaw-droppingly powerful in the right ones—come on in.

What You Bring to the Table

Languages: Proficiency in Ruby/Ruby on Rails is essential. Bonus points if you can tango with JavaScript/TS, Python, Go, Rust, or Zig.
Web App Mastery: You get the web stack: from HTTP/TCP to Websockets, HTML, HTMX, and enough CSS to not break things.
ORM Savvy: You can use one, but you're happier slinging SQL yourself.
UI/UX Sense: You appreciate good design, even if your idea of a palette is "light mode or dark mode?"
Git Ninja: You know your way around git rebase and git merge without needing a counselor.
Fast Learner: You're excited to play with shiny new tech and can get shit done without needing a babysitter.
Team Player: You'll work closely with our experienced CTO, soaking up knowledge and contributing your own wizardry.

Bonus Points if You

Have dabbled with LLMs, training models, or Agentic workflows
Understand that "scrappy" isn't just a dog—it's a way of life
Think contributing to open source isn't just cool; it's the right thing to do

What You'll Be Doing

Collaborating with the CTO to build, optimize, and scale core products
Writing robust, maintainable code across our stack
Engaging in building and fine-tuning workflows that may involve generative AI pipelines
Innovating within our open-source-first ecosystem and making meaningful contributions back
Balancing the act of moving fast vs. being careful (sometimes on the same day)

Why You'll Love Working With Us

Ground Floor Vibes: Early-stage startup with room to grow and learn
Flexibility: Work where you're most productive
A Fun Bunch: We mean business but aren't afraid to crack a joke
Tech Playground: We don't just use the latest tech; we experiment and build it

Ready to Join?

Shoot us your resume, GitHub link, or whatever you think shows off your skills. If you've got a portfolio of side projects or an open-source contribution you're proud of, show it off!

We're excited to build with you. No egos, no nonsense—just great code, hard work, and some fun along the way.
