Founding Engineer

ABLY LAST YEAR IN COLLEGE / RECENT COLLEGE GRADUATES

Xyra is the AI-native “everything dashboard” for your life. We are replacing the "Lego-set" complexity of tools like Notion with a simple, conversational interface.

But we go deeper than organization. As Xyra builds your dashboards, it develops a visible Knowledge Graph of your life. This graph powers an Advisor Section—an intelligent layer that analyzes the connections between your health, work, finances, and goals to offer proactive, high-level insights. We are building the personal operating system for the AI era: human, calm, and deeply intelligent.

We aren't just an idea; we are a moving ship. We are currently a tight-knit team of 3 (Product/Frontend, Ops, and Growth) looking for our final technical pillar. Our beta waitlist has already scaled to 100+ users through organic interest. Furthermore, we have a clear roadmap to our pre-seed round with VCs already lined up and ready for our upcoming raise.

To accelerate our growth, we are currently preparing our applications for top-tier accelerator programs for the Summer 2026 batch.

The founder has scaffolded the MVP and core UI. As the Founding Engineer, your job is to take this high-fidelity prototype and rebuild it into a hardened, scalable, and secure production-grade engine. You will be the architect of the Knowledge Graph and the intelligence layer that powers the Advisor.

We are looking for a partner, not an employee. We are offering a significant ownership stake (up to 49%) to secure a truly exceptional, ride-or-die partner who wants to be a co-founder. A competitive founder-level salary will be finalized and triggered upon the close of our upcoming funding round. This follows a standard 4-year vesting schedule with a 1-year cliff to ensure we are aligned for long-term success.

• Build the Knowledge Graph by designing the data architecture that maps the user’s life, turning fragmented dashboards into a connected web of personal intelligence.
• Architect the Advisor by developing the logic that enables Xyra to offer proactive advice based on user data patterns.
• Own Data & Security by leading the infrastructure and encryption protocols from day one.
• Scale AI Interactions by refining the logic so Xyra understands intent, handles fuzzy matching, and makes smart defaults.
• Bridge design and code to ensure the UI remains minimalist and premium, with unique visual identities for every dashboard.

You have full-stack capability with strong frontend skills (React/Next.js) and a deep understanding of graph databases or complex data structures. You are a product-first engineer who cares deeply about the user’s "Aha!" moment and the "feel" of a premium consumer product. You have the startup DNA required to be comfortable with ambiguity and the drive to be a co-founder who builds products people love.

Tell us about a consumer product you love and one technical challenge you’ve solved that you’re particularly proud of.
