We want a former YC founder to help us handle it.
A customer messages us. You understand the real problem, reproduce it, fix the code, ship the solution, and make sure it works.
You do not forward tickets.
What you will do- Work directly with customers every day
- Debug and solve their hardest problems
- Build integrations, features, fixes, and internal tools
- Turn repeated customer pain into product improvements
- Use agents aggressively to ship faster
- Find the most important fire and own it until it is dead
You personally founded or co-founded a YC-backed company.
We specifically want founders because you already understand:
- Customers do not care whose responsibility something is
- The correct job changes every hour
- Speed matters
- Nobody is coming to save you
- The mission comes first
San Francisco. In person. Extremely intense.
We are building a championship team. We care deeply about each other, tell each other the truth, and hold extremely high standards.
If you want remote work, predictable hours, or a narrow engineering role, do not apply.
