We are looking for a Founding Engineer (Full-Stack) with 1–5 YOE to join our small but mighty team of 6. We need a scrappy, product-obsessed builder who is excited about creating consumer experiences from scratch — something you, your friends, and your family will actually use. This is a foundational hire as we scale our platform and expand into gifting, digital experiences, and new product surfaces.
Responsibilities
We make sending physical cards as easy as liking a post, but infinitely cooler.
At Escargot, we're serving up thoughtfulness with a side of fun – because who says being caring can't be delightful? From "Congrats on your Taylor Swift tickets" to "Sorry your crypto tanked" (and yes, we have Happy Birthday too), we're creating cards that actually sound like you. We handle the boring stuff (printing, postage, mailing) while you focus on making someone's day with a surprise in their mailbox. Because in a world of endless notifications, nothing hits different quite like real mail.
Not your grandmas greeting cards. 🐌

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.
