The posting

About Coquina

Coquina connects the public sector with the best technology solutions. Our goal is to become the largest provider of software to the government in the next 10 years, displacing huge, slow & outdated incumbents that do everything manually. Our mission is to make our government wildly more effective.

The Role

We’re hiring a Founding AI-Native Engineer to design and implement AI-first business processes on both sides of our marketplace. In the coming quarters, this role will also be responsible for building, hiring, and managing an Engineering team.

AI is transforming how companies are built. Instead of scaling teams with people, we scale with AI agents—making software development faster and cheaper. We're looking for someone who shares this vision and is eager to create an AI-native company that’s lean, fast, and infinitely scalable.

What We’re Looking For

  • 4+ years of engineering experience
  • Hands-on AI-native development experience (experience with tools like Cursor, etc.)
  • High-agency, high-velocity mindset with an exceptional work ethic
  • Enthusiasm for building an amazing culture in a fast-moving startup
  • Passion for improving the public sector with cutting-edge tech

Why Join Us?

  • Work alongside a small, high-impact founding team (3-4 people)
  • Build from the ground up and play a pivotal role in shaping the company
  • Our team works onsite 5 days a week at our office in Herald Square, New York
  • Be part of a mission-driven company poised for massive scale

While our company is still under the radar, I'm happy to share more info about the business model and strategy on a call. More background on me, Thomas (Founder): https://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasjcsmyth/

Due to high interest, we may not be able to respond to all applicants—but we appreciate your time and will be opening more roles soon!

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
