About the Company

We’re looking for a AI Engineer—or as we like to call it, a Vibe Coder.

This isn’t your typical engineering gig. You’ll play a hybrid role, part engineer, part product visionary, part UX craftsman pushing the boundaries of what’s possible with AI. You’ll work across the full stack, invent features that feel like magic, and co-create Olivia’s future alongside the founding team.

If you thrive in high-agency, zero-handholding environments and want to work on agentic, generative, and conversational AI systems, this role was built for you.

Key Responsibilities

• Full-stack execution: Design, build, and ship core product features using React, Node.js, and our AI-first architecture.
• AI-first engineering: Prototype and deploy magical features using tools like Augment and Cursor.
• Design-forward mindset: Craft seamless user experiences—no design background needed, just good taste and intuition.
• Autonomous systems: Develop scalable, intelligent agents capable of brand-consistent, on-demand generation.
• Creative API orchestration: Combine tools like OpenAI, Google AI, Anthropic, and Bedrock into intelligent, unified pipelines.
• Strategic input: Shape product roadmaps and infrastructure decisions as part of a small, founder-led team.
• Rapid iteration: Build fast, ship faster, and bring a founder’s mindset to debugging, feature testing, and performance tuning.

Who You Are

• A former founder, founding engineer, or technical operator with deep ownership mentality.
• A creative problem-solver who codes with empathy and thinks in user workflows, not just code modules.
• A hands-on AI builder already using tools like Cursor or Augment to supercharge your dev flow.
• A startup-native who thrives in ambiguity and builds structure from chaos.
• A UX-aware engineer who sweats the details and instinctively builds interfaces that just feel right.
• A clear communicator who knows when to loop in others—and when to sprint solo.
• A relentless learner excited by the future of AI and always hunting for better ways to build.
• A product thinker who treats features like micro-startups: own the vision, build the thing, ship and iterate.

Tech Stack

• Languages: TypeScript, JavaScript, Python (bonus)
• Frontend: React
• Backend: Node.js, Wasp (easy to pick up)
• Infra: Cloudflare Workers/R2, PostgreSQL, Docker
• AI APIs: OpenAI, Anthropic, Google AI, Bedrock, Openrouter
• Dev Tools: Cursor, Augment, Git, Linear

A Day in the Life

• Jump into a fast, focused standup to align on goals
• Prototype generative features that combine UX, backend, and AI orchestration
• Share demos via Loom, jam with founders in Slack, and rapidly ship to prod
• Ideate new user flows, sketch mockups, or dive deep into technical tradeoffs
• End the day knowing you shipped real value—and helped shape the future of design

Requirements

• 3+ years of hands-on experience in full-stack development using JavaScript/TypeScript (Node.js, React)
• Strong understanding of modern backend architecture and scalable infrastructure (PostgreSQL, Docker, Cloudflare, AWS/GCP)
• proven experience across Product, Engineering, UX Research
• Proven track record of shipping production-ready products or meaningful side projects
• Experience working with or strong interest in AI development tools (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic, Cursor, Augment, Bedrock)
• Solid grasp of API orchestration and prompt engineering for generative/conversational AI systems
• Natural product intuition with a UX-first mindset—you care about how it feels, not just how it works
• Comfort working in high-autonomy, high-speed startup environments
• Ability to balance speed, quality, and experimentation in an agile development cycle
• Excellent communication skills—able to collaborate asynchronously and explain technical decisions clearly
• Passionate about AI, startups, and the future of creative tooling
