📚 Context
We’re a stealth-ish startup backed by a16z building a new kind of email experience powered by AI. This goes far beyond AI-generated summaries and responses in the same old Gmail UI that hasn’t changed in 20 years - we’re reimagining everything from the ground up.
Our tiny team has built product at Google and founded venture backed startups funded by some of the best investors. We’re currently in NYC/remote but we will be focusing on more in-person coworking in NYC and SF as we grow.

🔍 We are looking for a passionate software engineer with 5-10 years of experience based in New York (or willing to relocate) to join our founding team.
This is a full stack role, but you will be focusing heavily on AI.
