About the role
Founding-level engineering and product role at Gooseworks, focused on building self-improving AI agents and the growth harness for consumer brands. Combines deep technical work with product thinking, ownership of product and engineering decisions, and fast iteration in a very early-stage startup.
Responsibilities
- Creative generation agents — agents that understand a brand well enough to make assets that actually perform for the brand, not just assets that look fine.
- Multi-channel distribution architecture — scaling creative across paid and organic channels, each with their own nuances.
- Self-improving generation — teaching an agent to read its own ad performance data and get better at the next batch.
- Plus everything else a founding engineer touches: the app itself, the pipelines behind it, the internal harnesses that make four people move like twenty.
Qualifications
- Strong technical background. You can go deep anywhere in the stack and you're fast.
- You've built and launched something real that people actually used (company, side project, open source, etc.).
- You know how to design and architect AI agents. You've built agentic systems, handled their failure modes, and have opinions about what works.
- Strong at agentic engineering. Output is visibly agent-leveraged. Understands intuitions behind agentic engineering.
- Strong product and design sense. Clear thinking about what to build and why; strong taste is valued.
- You want the 0 → 1. Early-stage operator energy: hands-on, high ambiguity tolerance, iterating toward PMF.
- Nice to have but not required: TypeScript/Next.js fluency, motion or video skills, and prior early-startup experience.
