Job details

Founding Engineer

We're hiring engineers to join the founding team - and push the frontier of how software is created with LLMs (large language models). You'll ship at the cutting edge of AI, product, and infra.

We look for eng who spike in:

  • Product & Design. You have strong taste and a bias for craft. You turn ideas into delightful, performant full stack engineering.

  • AI. You're good at making Create more intelligent. You can stare down unknown research challenges and solve with the latest models + techniques.

  • Infra. You've built systems that scale or let builders deploy to millions.

Your background looks something like:

  • 4+ years of production experience with Typescript

    • If you've personally built something people use, YOE is irrelevant

  • You've built a product people love on your own or on a team

  • Excited to work in person with the team 5 days / week in San Francisco

  • You've used Create and have strong opinions on what to build next


We pay extra attention if you have:

  • Prior experience as a founder or founding eng

  • Strong product, design, or AI taste

  • Strong production experience with LLMs
