Founding Software Engineer

# Build With Us — WhipScribe Founding Software Engineer We're looking for a **Founding Software Engineer** to join WhipScribe and work directly with the founding team on a real product used by real customers. Instead of evaluating candidates only through resumes and interviews, we want to see **how you think, what you build, and how you ship**. ## Start Here ### 🚀 [Open the WhipScribe Buildathon & Hiring Challenge](https://github.com/neugence/whipscribe-buildathon) **Please read the complete challenge repository before submitting your application.** The repository contains the complete hiring challenge, available tracks, instructions, evaluation criteria, setup information, and submission process. You can choose the challenge that best demonstrates your strengths — whether that's **desktop development, web/product engineering, APIs, AI workflows, MCP integrations, UI/UX, or something you want to build from scratch.** ## What We're Looking For We're looking for someone who: * Builds without waiting for detailed instructions. * Can take an idea from **problem → solution → implementation → deployment**. * Has strong product and UI/UX judgment. * Uses AI tools such as Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, Copilot, and coding agents effectively. * Understands, validates, and improves AI-generated work rather than blindly accepting it. * Is comfortable working across technologies and learning quickly. * Cares about what reaches the customer, not just what works locally. * Takes ownership and enjoys working in a fast-moving startup environment. ## Your First Step Before building anything, **show us what you've already built.** Share your: * GitHub * LinkedIn * Portfolio * Shipped applications * Hackathon projects * Open-source work * Projects you're proud of * Team or leadership experience Then use WhipScribe yourself and look at the product as both an engineer and a user. Find something that could be better. Then **build.** ## The Challenge The Buildathon repository contains multiple tracks, including: **Track 1 — Find What Is Wrong** Use WhipScribe on desktop and mobile, identify meaningful product/UI/UX problems, and propose improvements. **Track 2 — Build the Desktop App** Build a real desktop meeting-recording experience integrated with WhipScribe. **Track 3 — Google Drive, Bulk Upload & Search** Build a workflow for processing recordings from Google Drive and searching across their transcripts. **Track 4 — Invent a Workflow** Identify a real problem that can be solved with audio/video intelligence and build the workflow using the WhipScribe API, MCP server, or both. You can choose one or more tracks. ## Don't Optimize for Size We don't expect you to build a huge system. **One small, polished feature that actually works is better than a massive unfinished project.** We want to see: * Your product thinking * Your engineering ability * Your UI/UX judgment * Your ability to use AI effectively * Your attention to detail * Your ability to finish * Your ability to learn * Your ownership ## How to Submit Follow the instructions inside the Buildathon repository: ### 👉 [View the Full Challenge & Submit Your Work](https://github.com/neugence/whipscribe-buildathon) Your submission should include your project/source code, explanation of what you built, demo where applicable, and the other information requested by the selected challenge track. **Please do not submit a proposal without first reading the Buildathon repository.** ## What Happens Next We review your work based on the quality of your thinking, implementation, product sense, and ability to ship. Strong candidates may be invited to work with us on the real product before receiving the full-time offer, allowing both sides to evaluate the fit through actual work. ### The Opportunity **Role:** Founding Software Engineer **Company:** Neugence Technology — WhipScribe **Work:** Fully Remote **Compensation:** ₹6–10 LPA, negotiable based on skills and ownership **Type:** Full-time **Joining:** Immediate You'll work directly with the founding team and have ownership over real product areas from the beginning. --- ## Ready?
