Founding Full-Stack Engineer Remote (open to Berlin move ideal) • Full-time • Pre-seed, $1.8M raisedWe're offering significant “founding-team-level” equityTL;DR - We're building AI that works directly on live web applications to generate production-quality designs. We just raised a $1.8M pre-seed and are now building out our founding team. You'll build the full stack infrastructure that makes this possible—from browser-based systems to intelligent code generation. Unique “founding team” opportunity with significant equity.The Gap We're FillingRight now there are two types of AI tools:Figma/Lovable/v0: Create designs from scratch. Can't touch your actual product.Cursor: Requires repo access. 90% of product stakeholders don't have and shouldn't have it.The massive gap: No AI can actually iterate on real products—understand your live app, analyze design context, and generate designs that match your product's language. PMs are stuck waiting days for designers to add simple components.We're building the tool that finally lets non-technical product teams directly edit their live product's front-end. No repo access. No starting from scratch. Just: enter your URL, describe what you need, get production-ready designs.Here’s a 2m demo video: https://www.loom.com/share/8a2101511cc64eff8382adebe20e4173Why This Is Genuinely HardYou're not building a typical SaaS app. You're building infrastructure that operates on live web applications—understanding design systems, safely manipulating DOM structure, and generating code that engineers actually want to implement.This requires deep work across the entire stack: browser-based systems, real-time interaction, intelligent extraction and injection, framework-aware code generation, and rock-solid reliability.The bar: Technical infrastructure so robust that non-technical users can safely work with production applications.What You'll DoIn one sentence: Build the full stack systems that enable AI to work directly on live web applications.Implement and maintain features across the full stack: frontend, backend, and infrastructureOwn systems end-to-end: architecture, implementation, deployment, and iterationBuild browser-based infrastructure for interacting with live web applicationsDesign intelligent extraction and code generation systemsCollaborate with the AI engineer to integrate capabilities into intuitive user experiencesDrive technical decisions about architecture, scalability, and reliabilitySuccess in 6 months: Users can safely work with their production applications through our interface, and the code we generate is something engineers actually want to implement.You're a great fit if:You've built systems that were genuinely hard, not just feature work:5+ years shipping full stack products with real users and real scaleExperience with complex systems—you've built infrastructure that operates on things you don't control, or developer tools that work with arbitrary codebasesStrong systems thinking—you know when abstractions break and can debug "this shouldn't be possible" problemsProduct-minded engineering—you make good technical decisions, knowing when to prioritize speed and when to invest in foundationsTechnical requirements:Frontend: Strong experience with TypeScript and React—you understand modern web application architectureBackend: Proficiency with Node.js, experience building APIs and backend systemsFull stack fluency: You can move across the entire stack and own features end-to-endCloud platforms: Production experience with AWS or GCPSystems design: Understanding of scalability, performance trade-offs, and architecture decisionsBonus points:Experience with browser automation or developer toolsBuilt systems that analyze or generate codeWorked on platforms that integrate with third-party applicationsExperience with real-time systems (WebSockets, streaming)The TeamChristian (CEO) built design systems for 25M users and partnered with YC companies on product design. Emanuel (CTO) was a Principal Architect at AWS, leading high-stakes 0-1 product builds. We're teaming up at the exact moment code and design are converging—to build the AI product designer. We're looking for founding-caliber engineers ready to shape what’s next.Why This OpportunityThis isn't typical full stack work. You're solving technical problems at the intersection of browser technology, AI, and design—building infrastructure that doesn't exist yet.Small team means you own entire systems. The technical constraints force genuine innovation.If we're right that by 2027 every product team needs an AI designer, you're building the foundational infrastructure from the ground floor.
