About the role
Why us
We started CoLoop in 2020 while still at university. We survived multiple cofounder breakups and all sorts of other near-death experiences. Despite that we built our first product to $1M ARR… and then killed it after realising the opportunity was too small and we didn't have real PMF. We spent six months pivoting, and through that process came to understand just how important customer research is to finding a winning strategy. So we built a product to make it faster, cheaper, and better.
We don't tell you this because we think suffering is something to aspire to. We tell you because if you're an ex-founder evaluating whether to work for someone else, you should know who you'd be working with. We are not going to sell early, get comfortable, or lose interest. This is everything to us.
We also take seriously that you're trusting us with your time. Three people who've worked at CoLoop have gone on to become YC founders. When you're here, we'll share everything we know and everything we learn along the way. All we ask is total commitment. And if you eventually get the itch to build your own thing again, we will back you 100%.
About the role
We're looking for ex-founders who want to write code, ship product, and work on hard problems in agentic AI.
At CoLoop, engineers own the full cycle. There are no product managers. You gather context, decide what to build, build it, launch it, measure the impact, and iterate. We track individual attribution in PostHog. One engineer recently drove 40 new active users through a single small growth experiment.
The structure is flat. Influence is earned through skill and context. We'd rather you make a wrong call than wait to be told what to do.
We think ex-founders tend to work well here because the expectations match how they already think: own the problem, move quickly, care about customers, and measure what matters. If you've built and run a company before, the pace and autonomy at CoLoop will feel familiar.
