We are building the system of record for AI-native knowledge work. Nessie auto-syncs AI conversations across every major provider and structures them into queryable, trustworthy context for humans and agents. We are two people. We have years of runway. We are backed by YC, BoxGroup, Pioneer Fund, Precursor, and more.
We are looking for one engineer who can build.
You have shipped something real. Something with users, or something you use every day because you made it for yourself. You know what it feels like to go from nothing to working software and you have done it more than once.
You are comfortable across the stack. Our codebase is Swift/SwiftUI (macOS app), Go (backend infrastructure), and TypeScript (services). You do not need experience in all of these. You need to be the kind of person who picks up what they need and figures it out.
You reach for AI tools instinctively. You build with Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, or similar - and you are faster because of it. If your first instinct under pressure is to stare at the code instead of giving it to an agent, this is not the right fit.
You will be working at the frontier of AI memory, context retrieval, and knowledge infrastructure. Concretely:
You are building infrastructure for a category that barely exists yet.
Show us something you built. A link to a project, a repo, a product, a tool. If you do not have something to show, build something this week and send it. We care about what you make, not what you say you can make.
Knowledge work is being restructured by AI. Strategy happens in Claude. Research happens in ChatGPT. Building happens in Claude Code. The people defining the next decade of work are already thinking with AI every day. But none of that thinking compounds. Every session starts from zero. The reasoning behind decisions, the context behind strategies, the evolution of ideas across hundreds of conversations - all of it evaporates.
Nessie is the infrastructure that makes it permanent. We auto-sync AI conversations across every major provider - ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Perplexity, Claude Code, OpenClaw, Codex, and more - and structure them into queryable, trustworthy context available to both humans and agents. No browser extension. No manual capture. Your thinking flows in automatically and compounds over time.
Today, Nessie is the memory layer that makes every AI interaction smarter - grounded in your actual reasoning, not the median. Your agents start with your accumulated thinking instead of a blank slate. Your decisions have provenance, traceable back to the conversation where the thinking happened.
Where we are going: the AI-native organization of the near future is a small team running thousands of agents. Those agents are powerful but amnesiac - they make decisions, form hypotheses, discover patterns, and forget everything between sessions. The organization's collective intelligence exists nowhere. There is no layer that integrates what the organization knows, what it has decided, and how its thinking has evolved. Nessie is that layer. Not another workspace. Not another wiki. The connective tissue that makes AI-native organizations possible.
Science has journals. Law has case law. Software has git. AI-native knowledge work has nothing. We are building the infrastructure for cumulative thinking in the AI era.
We are two Yale CS grads and former Amazon engineers. Backed by BoxGroup, Pioneer Fund, Y Combinator, Precursor, and more.
