Conductor
Actively Hiring

Founding Product Engineer

San Francisco, CA
Full-time

About the role

Conductor lets you run a team of coding agents on your Mac. We launched a few months ago, and are now used by engineers at leading companies like Linear, Vercel, Notion, Stripe, and Y Combinator. One user told me:

A huge amount of my work now is wildly parallelized, in a way I’ve never had to worry about before. It’s been a while since a dev tool has changed my life [like Conductor did].

We’re on a mission to build the human interface to AI organizations. Our team is small but growing. Come join the co-founders and jump into an exciting space where you can do the best work of your life. No AI experience needed, just some enthusiasm for the awesome alien power of LLMs.

About us

  • Charlie and Jackson met eight years ago when we played ultimate frisbee together at Brown. Last year, we quit our jobs at Point72 and Netflix to start Conductor together.
  • Our team is small, so there is a lot of room to grow!
  • We ship unusually fast
  • We’re backed by some of the best investors in the valley. We have plenty of money to keep the company running through rough patches.
  • We work in person in our beautiful San Francisco office

About you

We’re looking for a scrappy jack of all trades: an idea generator, an explorer, someone who can talk with users, design, prototype, and then actually build a beautiful product.

You’re probably a good fit if some or all of these are true:

  • You like to move fast
  • You have strong opinions about software
  • You have deep technical expertise
  • You use AI tools conscientiously
  • You feel like your work reflects some part of who you are
  • You have startup experience

A few things we DON’T care about:

  • Experience with our tech stack (TypeScript, Tauri, React). We trust you can pick it up.
  • Experience developing AI or ML products. We’re looking for strong software engineers.

Compensation

Pay

Compared to similar companies at our stage, we aim to pay roughly median salary and 90th percentile equity.

We give out more stock than other companies because we hire less, and each employee can make an unusually large impact.

For exceptional talent, we’re happy to pay exceptional amounts, in cash and especially equity. If that’s you, please reach out.

Health care

… and, most importantly, Real Health Care: sleep, nutrition, exercise, social support. We try to make Conductor a strongly positive influence on all those fronts.

Other

Whatever you need to be productive, we’ll help you get it. We trust our team with an extremely broad expense policy. More about our culture.

About Conductor

Conductor (conductor.build) is a macOS desktop application that lets developers run multiple AI coding agents — specifically Anthropic's Claude Code and OpenAI's Codex — in parallel on their local machine. Each agent operates in an isolated Git worktree, allowing simultaneous work on multiple features or fixes without conflicts. The company's mission is to build 'the human interface to AI organizations,' providing orchestration and review tools for developers as AI teams replace sequential, human-led coding workflows. Conductor was founded in 2024, is part of YC S24, and raised a $22M Series A in March 2026.
