We are looking for a Founding Customer Engineer to be the first non-founder hire, owning every customer relationship and building the playbook for how Hobbes scales from 20 customers to 2,000. We are seeking a technical, customer-facing individual who understands product positioning and instinctively automates repetitive tasks.
What will you be doing?
Why Hobbes?
There are countless products that could drastically change how teams work, but the way we introduce people to them is broken. Book a call. Wait. Sit through a pitch. Just to figure out if this thing solves your problem.
Inertia wins because the cost of exploring something new is too high.
Now? A prospect shows up, starts a conversation with Hobbes, and within seconds they're getting a live demo with on-the-fly visuals and answers to the questions they actually care about. No calendar, discovery call or pitch deck. Just "can this thing get me there?"
We scaled our first B2B product to 100+ customers in under 60 days. The conversations were incredible, but they didn't scale. So we built an agent that could run those conversations, learn from them and get better over time.

No 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.
