Role/industry:
Full-stack (back-end leaning)
AI (not an AI role, though)
Exp. floor:

Brief description
[Updated 2/4/25. This role now has higher requirements, higher comp, and more detail on its unusual equity scheme than previously.]
This is a founding eng role at a very early stage company building an AI-based web scraping tool. You might (for example) tell their tool to "retrieve the history section on the wikipedia page for each country in Europe" and it would come back with a structured CSV of those history sections.
The role itself is back-end leaning, but like most founding engineer roles, involves a variety of work: back-end, front-end, and devops. This employer is explicitly open to any experience level if you're really good, but does have a very high bar for performance on our interview, particularly the timed-coding section, and will be a difficult interview process. They're looking for smart, fast, flexible people, not any specific set of skills.
Node/React stack.
What they're looking for
[Required]
Very fast coding. "I can't work with slow" were their exact words. This bar is high enough that you may pass our interview for general purposes, but not for this role.
Comfortable with back-end web development.
OK with a very low-structure environment, where you may need to do most things yourself.
Comfortable with basic devops, can handle deployments/production issues yourself.
Comfortable with React and Node
[Nice-to-have]
Interested in web scraping or AI
Willing to work US hours
Design skills
Familiarity with Google Analytics
What they're offering
Salary: $160k-240k
Equity: they're offering substantial equity, but it's in the form of an ethereum token. You'll need to ask them for greater details on this, but it's something they at least feel strongly about.
Fully remote, and open to non-US candidates with the right skillset
Very early stage, so lots of room for growth, and on a good trajectory
You can freely open-source your code
