Rewrite
## About the role We aren't looking for someone to "manage" AI; we want someone who maxes out their token limits week over week. You view manual coding without an LLM as working with one hand tied behind your back. You aren't just using AI to write boilerplate; you're using it to architect, refactor, and deploy complex systems at a pace that makes traditional engineers dizzy. ## Responsibilities - Ship Daily: If it's not in production, it doesn't exist. You will be expected to push high-quality code to prod every single day. - High-Velocity Excellence: You use AI to move fast, but you aren't sloppy. You know when the AI is hallucinating and you have the technical depth to fix it. Your final output is beautiful, maintainable, and idiomatic code. - Optimize for the User: "Fast" isn't just about your dev cycle; it's about the product. You obsess over response times, latency, and perceived performance for the end user. - Prompt Engineering & Beyond: You stay on the bleeding edge of model capabilities, context window management, and RAG architectures to build features that weren't possible six months ago. ## Requirements - You have a "Builder" mindset. - You'd rather show us a project you shipped over the weekend than a polished resume. - You are an expert at leveraging AI tools (Claude, Codex, custom LLM agents) to multiply your output by 10x. - You care deeply about performance. - You are comfortable with ambiguity and thrive in a "move fast and break things (but then fix them immediately)" culture. - Deep down you are a founder but are looking to get some experience at other peoples startups. ## What we offer - Zero Bureaucracy: No endless meetings. Just building. - Infinite Context: We give you the tools and the autonomy to own features from ideation to deployment. - The Best Stack: We use whatever tools let us move the fastest without sacrificing quality. - Ofc we pay for your token usage
