About the Role
We're building an AI-powered map and social discovery platform that helps people figure out where to go and what to do with the people that matter to them. We've assembled one of the largest structured indices of real-world places and events, and we're now building a clever, social product experience around it.
We're looking for a Founding Engineer to join us on-site in San Francisco. This is a high-ownership, zero-bureaucracy role where you'll work directly with the founding team and shape the architecture, product, and culture from day one.
Problems you'll work on include:
- Search & ranking at massive scale (hundreds of millions of places, millions of events)
- Recommendations and personalization of places and events
- Real-time infrastructure (chat, presence, location)
- AI systems that plan, retrieve, and reason over diverse data sources
If you're excited by systems that sit at the intersection of infra, product, and AI — this is your kind of place.
What You'll Do
- Design and ship product features and systems from zero to production
- Work directly with founders on product direction and architecture
- Make decisions that shape the core system — not just contribute to it
- Move fluidly across the stack: frontend, backend, infra, and AI
