We build customer success agents and account intelligence that do the actual manual work — so CS teams can focus on the relationship-driven work that drives growth.
What we're looking for:
- You build with AI IDEs (Cursor, Claude Code) as a force multiplier — not occasionally, as your default
- You've shipped something with LLMs in production (agents, RAG, evals — not just wrappers)
- Comfortable owning a customer-facing feature from idea to production without a lot of hand-holding
- Based in the US — SF Bay Area or LA strongly preferred.
Why Cora:
- Work on cutting-edge applied AI: voice agents, knowledge graphs, multi-agent systems, evals, simulations, and more
- Real users, real impact, high autonomy
- Fast, fair interview loop — no BS
- Fully covered healthcare for you and your dependents
- 401(k) plan
- Flexible time off

As someone who's interviewed hundreds of candidates and been on the other side of the table many times, I know firsthand how tough rejections can be. It's especially frustrating when you feel like you crushed the interview, only to be passed over without feedback. You're left wondering what went wrong and how to improve.That's why I wrote this post. If it's not an obvious reason, rejections...

As both a participant and a leader, I've been in the trenches and witnessed various approaches to sprint planning—some more effective than others. All too often though, I’ve seen these meetings devolve into chaos, resulting in misaligned priorities and a waste of valuable time.
Through countless iterations and learnings, I’ve developed a process that has helped teams regain focus, enhance collaboration, and achieve great outcomes.
I recently decided to write down those learnings which I'm excited to share in my latest blog post. I cover:
- Four underlying principles that drive successful sprint planning.
- Essential prerequisites to ensure smooth execution.
- Tactical steps to streamline your sprint planning process.
Would love to hear feedback and what has worked well for you when it comes to your agile planning process!
I've been writing since 2007. You might have seen me on the front page once or twice.
My most popular post which was on the front page of HN earlier this year was about hiring: https://jes.al/2023/03/how-to-hire-engineering-talent-withou...
I usually write about whatever I'm practicing and learning at the moment. My topics have included coding tips in various tech stacks, career growth, ai, web3, hiring, interviewing, knowledge management, leadership and everything in between.
