We’re hiring a founding engineer who moves fast, cares about craft, and wants real ownership from day one. You’ll live in a hacker house with the team and build side by side with the founders from day one.
You should already use AI tools by default — pushing Cursor, Claude Code, Codex, and agent workflows hard, judging output critically, and moving faster without lowering the bar.
Lane 1: Experienced builder
You’ve already spent a few years shipping product at a strong startup or fast-moving company. You’re now looking for much more ownership, much more scope, and much more upside.
Lane 2: Exceptional emerging builder
You may have only 1–2 years of experience, or an unconventional background, but you’ve already built real things, move unusually fast, have strong taste, and show real evidence of ownership. We care much more about slope, output, and judgment than pedigree.
Sparkles is like Lovable for existing projects, so even Sharon from Marketing can change the button styling on the front page without going back and forth with the dev team.
Someone technical connects their GitHub to Sparkles, sets up the repository and environment variables, and then anyone on the team with a @yourcompany.com email can log in on Sparkles and create pull requests without needing to know what Git is.
