As someone in a protracted stretch of unemployment who has watched job seeking get distinctly worse over the last decade, I LOVE that you are doing this, and would be delighted to help it succeed in some way. I'm not sure I'm exactly the person for either role, but I'll take a closer look at the approach so far.
I've been on the management side for a while now, but a lot of my hands-on coding relates to data transformation and integration testing, which seems like it would fit nicely with the core needs of the product.
I'm building applyapply — it runs a serious job search overnight: matching roles, tailored resumes, cover notes, and answers so applications take minutes instead of hours. Live product. https://applyapply.xyz
Hiring two founding roles:
1) Founding Engineer — $140–170k + meaningful founding equity Own the product end-to-end: sourcing, resume-per-posting pipeline, Chrome extension, reliability. Full-stack + LLM/API work. Bias to ship; keep candidate achievements intact (no bland rewrites). Apply: https://applyapply.xyz/jobs/founding-engineer
2) Founding Growth — $110–140k + meaningful founding equity Own how people find applyapply: channels, content, experiments, conversion. Partner with eng on the product surfaces that drive adoption. You've grown a consumer/prosumer product (or built something that spread without a big brand budget). Apply: https://applyapply.xyz/jobs/founding-growth
Both: remote US preferred, Austin OK.
