Interfere is building the self-healing layer of the internet: software that detects issues, diagnoses root causes, and ships fixes before anyone notices something's broken. The goal is to empower founders, product managers, and designers to understand how the product they're building actually works in the real world. Software runs civilization. When it breaks, the world stutters. We're building its immune system. This is not a normal job – it demands taste, intensity, and obsession. Difficulty wakes the genius.
AI has democratized shipping code, but excellence remains scarce. We're creating the infrastructure that makes product excellence no longer aspirational but inevitable and expected. We've raised over $5.1M from world class investors like Y Combinator, Vercel Ventures, Hummingbird, Designer Fund, and many others to turn our vision into reality. This isn't about incremental improvements, but about fundamentally changing how reliable software gets built.
You'll operate at the intersection of the impossible and the inevitable. This role demands:
Depth over breadth – You'll go deeper into problems than most think necessary, finding elegance where others accept complexity
Craft at velocity – Ship exceptional work quickly without compromising on quality that matters. Both form and function, never just one or the other
"High Standards Win" – Question everything, rebuild from scratch when needed, never accept "that's how it's done" or "good enough"
Ownership without borders – Your domain is whatever needs doing to make Interfere exceptional. No excuses
Immense pride in the work you do and a desire to build the best products on earth
Builders with taste – You know the difference between good and great, and you can't sleep until you've achieved the latter
Systems thinkers – You see patterns others miss
Relentless learners – You dive into unfamiliar domains and emerge with either expertise or a delusional drive to acquire it
Clear communicators – Complex ideas seem obvious when they find their way into your hands
Experience with developer tools, observability platforms, or infrastructure
Track record of being on a team that shipped products that people love
Portfolio of work that demonstrates exceptionality. If you don't have one, be creative
Founding team equity and competitive compensation
Complete ownership of meaningful work
Health, dental, and vision coverage
Visa sponsorship for exceptional international candidates
We're in-person in New York City, and believe proximity accelerates everything that matters, but we'll gladly help you move here. Send us proof of exceptional work you've shipped and a note about why Interfere resonates with you. We value proof of who you can be over who you've been.

LinkedInNo applications, no recruiter spam. Just the intro.
A few questions to make sure this role is the right shape for you. Two minutes.
I write the intro, send it to the founder, and handle the back-and-forth.
If they’re a yes, I book the chat. You show up — that’s the whole job-hunt.
