Can't say much publicly yet, but: your personal data should work for you, not against you. Not as a tagline. As an architectural decision baked into every layer of the system. If "privacy-first" makes you roll your eyes because nobody means it, good. We'd get along. The product is built, patents are filed. We're looking for a founding engineer to help lead and ship it. We're building the future of personalized intelligence. We're early and building fast. **You'll be a Founding Engineer on the team.** You'll ship product end to end, shape the architecture, and own entire systems. This is not a "pick up tickets" job. You'll be in the room for every product, design, and infra decision we make. What you'll work on: * **Building the preference architecture and models:** signal extraction, decay, provenance and portability * **The protocol layer:** how any AI or system plugs in, with consent * **Consumer product surfaces:** onboarding, chat, insights and planning * **Connector pipelines:** Third-party integrations, OAuth, APIs and MCPs **Stack** TypeScript, Next.js, Fastify, Postgres (Drizzle), BullMQ, Redis, Turborepo. **You** * Ideally 4+ years shipping production software, at least one stint as a senior or staff engineer at a fast-moving company, but we will speak to passionate excellent engineers from all backgrounds * Full-stack by default, opinionated about product, comfortable in ambiguity * You care about the shape of the product, not just the code * Bonus: you've worked on personal data, agent infra, graph systems, or consumer AI **Why join** * Founding equity, real ownership * Ship to users from week one * You'll help define a category, not iterate on someone else's roadmap * Small team, high trust, no process theater * Based in SF, full remote must be US based with US authorization to work. **Apply with a short note on why wiive, and one thing you've built that you're proud of.**
