Full Stack Engineer

This isn't a role you can do from a spec; there isn't a detailed one yet. The people who win in seats like this get parachuted into ambiguity and just ship: read the codebase, build a picture fast, and start making sensible technical and product calls without waiting for permission. High agency isn't a buzzword here; it's the whole job. Crucially, you're native to short-form. Put a real creator's slideshow next to an AI-written imitation, and you can say exactly why one lands and the other doesn't. If intensity genuinely excites you rather than being something you tolerate, you'll love it here. And if you've tried founding something yourself, even if it didn't work, you'll understand why this seat exists.

Requirements:

• Strong full-stack product engineer. You build end-to-end, from the interface a user touches to the systems that run behind it. The more you lean toward 10x building technical moats, moving faster than anyone expects, the better.
• Deep knowledge of our stack. TypeScript across the board, a modern frontend build (Vite / React), and backend services in TypeScript, deployed on Vercel with Supabase / Postgres.
• Run in production, not just on a side project. Native to short-form. You can tell instantly what works and why. This can't be taught; without it, this isn't your seat regardless of engineering strength.
• Product and user instinct. You think in journeys and in what a user should feel and do, not in components or the roundness of a button. Operational design sense. You can design the logical flows that make operations run, which accounts for where, when, how many, and at what capacity, not just the code.
• Judgment under ambiguity. You infer, decide, and make good calls on your feet, including which calls to make yourself and which to raise with the founder.
• No hand-holding. A track record in messy, fast-moving environments, and you thrived on it. Founder-level intensity as your natural tempo, not something imposed on you.
• You'll set the pace for the engineering team that follows. Genuine interest in AI, automation, and agentic systems: MCP, LLMs, and building real products on top of them. Genuine interest in marketing, growth, and short-form distribution. You don't need UGC expertise, but you need to care about the space.
