Join SalesApe, one of the fastest-growing AI companies, recognised as a leader in cutting-edge AI technology and backed by over $20 million from top VCs.
We’re at the dawn of a powerful evolution, set to transform society with our tech. Our mission? To tackle inequality by empowering a huge market of non-tech SMBs—93% of all businesses, think construction, automotive, real estate, and more. While the tech industry has compounded its growth with computing power, these businesses have been technically starved.
With AI agents and our natural language interface technology, we’re unlocking huge productivity gains for our clients. It’s deeply rewarding to see firsthand the transformation in small businesses as they embrace their agent—not just as a tool, but as a trusted, hard-working member of their team. The emotional bond our clients feel toward their agent is undeniable—they often tell us their ‘Ape’ has become part of the family. Our vision is to become the ‘ brain’ of a business spinning out agent worker, freeing up time and simplifying operations, to ensure humans spend more time in real-life interaction.
As we started building with large language models and AI-powered natural language interfaces, I had an aha moment. It hit me just how significant this inflection point is: compute—the raw power of computers—is now accessible to people who don’t use computers."
"And when I thought about that, I realized the closest invention humanity has seen to this shift was electricity. When electricity arrived, it didn’t just light up homes—it transformed industries, democratized wealth, and empowered everyone, from factory owners to farmers, to grow and thrive. Today, with AI, we have the opportunity to do the same for the real economy."
"For the last two decades, the tech industry has had an incredible advantage. Computers have been like co-pilots for us, quietly amplifying our productivity and enabling us to grow faster than ever before. But 95% of businesses—builders, plumbers, and real estate agents—have been technically starved. These businesses make up 50% of GDP, five times larger than the entire tech industry, but they’ve never had access to the tools they need to compete."
"This is the inequality we’re solving. APE AI is democratizing technology, bringing the power of compute to businesses that have been left behind. And what’s so rewarding is that we’re not just helping faceless corporations—we’re empowering real people. Small business owners who pour their hearts into their work. People whose success directly impacts their families, their communities, and society at large. It’s deeply rewarding to see firsthand the transformation in small businesses as they embrace their agent—not just as a tool, but as a trusted, hard-working member of their team."
"For me, this mission is personal. I’ve spent my career building companies that encourage people to connect in real life, to be physically active, and to engage with their communities. This isn’t just about productivity—it’s about health, happiness, and thriving societies. Humans weren’t built to spend their lives staring at screens. We’re wired to interact, to move, to be part of the real world. And what excites me is that Ape AI is helping to make this possible—empowering businesses that create real-world value to thrive at the same pace as the tech giants."
"This isn’t just about technology. It’s about fairness. It’s about giving the power of compute to the people who need it most, so they can grow, thrive, and make a difference. That’s our mission, and it’s something we can all be proud of."
We are on the lookout for an exceptional Product Engineer to join our fast-growing AI team. This role is all about energy, urgency, and ownership — driving ideas from 0 to 1 with speed and precision. Working directly with the Head of Engineering and a small but experienced cross-functional product team, you will have the chance to shape and ship cutting-edge AI products that solve real customer problems.
If you thrive in the unknown, are unafraid to take initiative, and can balance experimentation with production-grade engineering, we want to hear from you. Our team fosters a “build, test, iterate” approach, encouraging healthy friction between creative energy and the calm, methodical reliability of traditional engineering. This role is about momentum — turning feedback loops into growth loops.
What You’ll Do
• Build and Launch: Take ownership of features and products from ideation to production. You’ll rapidly prototype, iterate, and ship AI-driven solutions.
• Customer-Centric Development: Interact directly with customers to identify problems and craft creative, thoughtful solutions.
• Drive Urgency and Focus: Work with energy and pace, while keeping an eye on long-term stability. You’ll balance rapid experimentation with production-quality development.
• Collaborate Across Teams: Partner with design, product, and engineering teams to ensure alignment and smooth delivery. Healthy tension is encouraged to challenge assumptions and ensure quality.
• Lead with Initiative: Push forward in uncertain territory, bringing ideas to life without waiting for permission. You’ll own your space and drive it forward.
What We’re Looking For
We’re looking for a builder at heart. Someone who takes pride in creating something from nothing and thrives in fast-paced, ever-evolving environments. Here’s what we value most:
Key Skills & Experience
• Customer-Driven Mindset: You thrive in conversations with customers and can turn insights into impact.
• Bias Toward Action: Proactive problem-solver who takes initiative to drive outcomes.
• AI Product Experience: Strong working knowledge of modern AI toolchains and LLMs. You’ve built and shipped AI-driven products, not just toy models.
• Technical Skills:
• Solid experience with Python (Django, FastAPI, Flask, etc.) and/or JavaScript/TypeScript (React, Next.js).
• Strong knowledge of SQL/relational databases like MySQL.
• Experience with Git and modern development workflows.
• Engineering Fundamentals: 5+ years of commercial software development experience with modern agile processes and tooling.
• Startup Mentality: Experience driving something from 0→1, whether it’s a product, feature, or side project you owned. We’re looking for people who’ve built something themselves, not just maintained it.
• Balancing Speed and Stability: Ability to move fast and experiment while knowing when it’s time to focus on production-grade quality.
What Success Looks Like
• You’ve taken a product, feature, or side project from 0→1. You own it, ship it, and improve it.
• You’re a customer whisperer, constantly in tune with their pain points and obsessed with solving them.
• You’re both a builder and a stabilizer — driving rapid progress without sacrificing long-term quality.
• You’re energized by cross-functional friction, balancing the speed of product with the calm precision of traditional engineering.
• You contribute to a culture of urgency, adaptability, and curiosity.
Why Join Us?
This is not a role for passengers — we’re looking for drivers.
