About the company

Meet the last professional profile you'll ever need.


One link that replaces your CV, LinkedIn summary, and personal site with one beautiful home that updates itself and keeps track of everything.


It started as a conversation between two friends. Too static. Too rigid. Too little room for the full picture. That sentiment has been echoed back by thousands of professionals we've since crossed paths with.


It is for the pivoters, the just getting started, the for-lifers, the graduates, the executives, the freelancers, the founders, the between chapters, the "can't be defined."


For anyone who has ever struggled to answer: "how do I show someone who I really am, professionally?"

About the team

Founder, CEO: Handles product vision, prototyping and design and has touched every part of the identity. Previously built two businesses (one consumer, one design studio) and was a professional ballerina in a previous life. Thinks everything should be beautiful.


Founder, CMO: Owns marketing, brand voice, community and storytelling. Worked across influencer and consumer marketing with publishers. Knows how products find their people.


We're thoughtful, iterative, value good design and will always try something once. Each person owns their lane with a sensible amount of cross-pollination. A small passionate team that moves fast and takes the work seriously without taking ourselves too seriously.

About the job

This is a ground-floor engineering role at a pre-build startup with a clear product vision and strong design direction.

As Founding Engineer you'll own the technical architecture and build from day one — making the foundational decisions that everything else will be built on.

You'll work directly with the founders in a small, focused team that moves thoughtfully and ships with care. We value quality, clear communication and ownership.

This is a web-first product. You'll have real autonomy over how it gets built.

Requirements

— Proven experience building and shipping web applications.
— Full-stack capability with a strong front-end sensibility—this product lives and dies on how it feels to use.
— Comfortable making architectural decisions independently and owning outcomes.
— Experience with modern web stacks — Next.js and Supabase experience is a plus.
— Practical experience building with AI — whether that's integrating LLMs, working with APIs like OpenAI or Anthropic, or shipping AI-powered features into production.
— Thrives in small teams, communicates openly, and knows when to move and when to ask.
— Has an eye for design and cares about the quality of what gets shipped.
