the company is building ai software for family-facing organizations. today, the product helps businesses that serve families better understand who they’re engaging, communicate more effectively, and create better experiences for parents and households.

what makes it interesting technically is that the product sits in an unusual space between business workflows and real household behavior. so the engineering challenge isn’t just shipping features — it’s building agents and product systems that can handle messy, human, high-context situations.

the team is early, fast-moving, and already working with real customers. small team, real urgency, and a lot of room for impact.

the team is hiring founding engineers who will each take meaningful ownership over a core part of the product and help shape how that area evolves.

depending on background and strengths, the role could sit in one of four core domains:

1. b2b product layer
   this person would own and improve the business-facing product experience — what customers see, how they use the platform, and how the product becomes more valuable over time. strong fit for someone who likes full-stack product engineering, workflow design, and building tools customers actually rely on.

2. ai / agent layer
   this person would focus on the quality and performance of the agents across voice, sms, imessage, and email. that includes latency, turn-taking, reliability, orchestration, observability, evals, and overall agent quality. strong fit for someone who likes applied ai systems and wants to make agents feel truly production-grade.

3. family graph
   this person would work on the systems that help the product understand household relationships, family structure, and relevant behavioral signals in a way that agents and product workflows can actually use intelligently. strong fit for someone who likes high-context product systems, data modeling, and building logic around real-world human behavior.

4. b2c / family product
   this person would help shape the longer-term consumer-facing side of the company — products and agent experiences that directly support families and households. this is the most ambiguous domain and is best for someone excited by zero-to-one product work, consumer behavior, and broad ownership.

the strongest immediate need is around:

• the b2b product layer

• the ai / agent layer

the other two domains matter a lot to the long-term vision, but the first two are the most urgent right now.

• 2+ years of software engineering experience

• strong hands-on full-stack ability

• recent experience building with ai, llms, or agents in a real product environment

• someone product-minded who can operate without much pm structure and make strong tradeoff decisions

• startup experience, ideally at an early-stage company

• excited by ambiguity, speed, and ownership

• based in new york city or able to relocate immediately

• computer science bachelor’s degree

bonus points

• voice ai or conversational ai experience

• experience with agent quality, evals, orchestration, latency, or observability

• ex-founder or strong zero-to-one builder experience

• experience at a fast-growing startup where they saw meaningful scale early

who tends to do well here

• people who want real ownership early

• engineers who care about both what gets built and why

• builders who learn from users, data, and shipped product

• people who are energized by small teams, high standards, and fast feedback loops

• high-slope early-career talent that wants to grow quickly through impact

• full-time

• based in new york city

• in-person role

• compensation around $180k base, with flexibility for stronger candidates

• meaningful early-stage equity

• urgent hire
