- 2+ years experience mentoring and/or managing junior and mid-level engineers, fostering a culture of continuous learning and high-quality delivery

- Familiarity with automated testing and CI/CD practices for reliable frontend delivery

- Ability to communicate clearly about technical and product tradeoffs with both technical and non-technical partners

- Comfort operating in a fast-paced, early-stage startup environment with evolving requirements

- (Preferred) Experience integrating and shipping features backed by LLMs or AI APIs (e.g., OpenAI, Anthropic)

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.
