About the company

An AI-powered media relations platform built for PR and communications professionals. The platform takes a client brief, asks follow-up questions to fill in any gaps, and generates a complete, ready-to-execute media strategy in minutes — a process that previously took days. The product has been validated through three rounds of user testing and is now moving from prototype to production.

About the team

Bootstrapped startup. You'll work directly with the founder, who has 15 years of communications experience and is non-technical.

About the job

This is a contract role for a mid-level developer to help transition the platform from a Lovable prototype into a production-grade product. You'll work directly with the founder and take ownership of technical decisions once direction is agreed.

Key builds include:
• Secure API integrations (including MCP plugins for government calendar data)
• Client data security protocols
• General product hardening and feature development

The engagement is expected to be ongoing (~12 months) as the product launches and iterates. You'll also have the option to work alongside a senior technical advisor for periodic code reviews.

Requirements

Must-haves:
• Hands-on experience building with AI — LLMs, agents, or AI-powered products
• Has deployed something to production and understands the full software development lifecycle
• Comfortable working with a non-technical founder — clear communicator who can explain decisions simply
• Able to take ownership and run with a direction once agreed

Nice to haves:
• Experience with security best practices and data privacy
• Familiarity with API integrations and third-party data sources
• Interest in communications, media, or content industries
