About the role

Role Description

This is a full-time, on-site role for a Software Engineer located in downtown San Francisco. You will design, build, and maintain production features across a modern TypeScript/Next.js stack, with a strong focus on AI-powered user experiences, real-time collaboration, and data-driven product surfaces. Day-to-day you’ll work across server actions, route handlers, background jobs, and accessible UI components, collaborating directly with the CEO and a small, fast team to ship high-quality software that scales.

Why you should join

You will have financial security with startup upside: Our capital partners have over $2B under management. With our capital partners, we control our portfolio companies. Our portfolio companies are all cash-flow positive, and they have over 3,000 enterprise customers. You get startup speed without the "will we survive?" stress. In addition, we are building new AI products without the startup go-to-market risk because our portfolio companies already have enterprise customers.
You will work with the pioneers of JTBD Innovation: You will be working with the Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) method and process that we pioneered. JTBD was popularized by Harvard Business School’s Clay Christensen, but we advanced the theory and method to make it actionable in order to build new products customers want to buy and use.
You will work in a modern technical playground: We are building thrv5, the fifth version of our innovation platform. It is based on a modern, serverless tech stack with Vercel. You will be working on the next-generation innovation platform that helps our portfolio companies build, market, and sell products that beat the competition in the market.
You will work with an elite team: You will work directly with thrv’s CEO Jay Haynes. Jay is an innovation thought leader. And you will work with thrv’s Technical Managing Director Alex Gounares, former CTO of Bing, Bill Gates’s former Chief Technology Advisor (the top engineer at Microsoft), and with over 200 patents, one of the world’s top innovators.

thrv (pronounced "thrive") is an AI native software company. Our platform is now in use at 9 companies. We create equity value for our companies through product innovation using our proprietary Jobs-to-be-Done (JTBD) method and patented software.

What is JTBD? Your customers aren't buying your products; they are hiring them to get a job done. This is the foundational Jobs-to-be-Done insight popularized by Harvard Business School's Clay Christensen. We use a customer's job-to-be-done to identify unmet needs, analyze the competition, optimize marketing messages, and improve GTM. We also develop a growth strategy for the company's roadmap and new product development that will accelerate growth and create equity value faster and with less risk.
