Role

Founding Engineers at Anything push the frontier on how software is created. You’ll ship at the cutting edge of AI, product, and infra.

We look for eng who spike in:

  • Product & Design. You have strong taste and bias for action + craft. You turn ideas into delightful, performant experiences across mobile, web and backend.
  • AI. You make Anything more intelligent. Stare down research challenges and put technology indistinguishable from magic in people’s hands.
  • Infra. You’ve built distributed systems that scale or let builders deploy to millions. So you can design new systems with new scale characteristics.

Our favorite people combine deep expertise in multiple disciplines into magic.

Sample projects

  • Build an autonomous software engineer that can use runtime signals to solve issues
  • Design a reliable pipeline to package an AI built mobile app (where anything could go wrong), scan it for App Store review guidelines, and ship to the App Store (w/ intuitive UI throughout)
  • Scale the system that creates thousands of production environments a day with isolation, telemetry, and instant rollback
  • Train a design reasoning model to craft interfaces with taste (scale internet crawler & curator for training data, then post train an open weight model)

Ideal background

  • Staff level engineer (4-6+ years, Typescript/Python/Go preferred). If you’ve personally built something people love, YOE is irrelevant.
  • Deep experience in Typescript & with modern technologies (React, Node, Postgres, AI,
  • At least one of:
    • Done impactful work at a company known for its product, AI, or infra
    • Major contributions to a notable open source project
    • You built something people love on your own or on a team
  • Blend excellent engineering with taste in models, infra, or product
  • Ship fast through quality
  • Many prior examples of technical fearlessness
  • Insatiable curiosity for AI - from research to infra to applied to final experiences - that you’ve turned into things people can use
  • You read deep, esp things others find “boring” but you know contain gold (change logs, runtime logs, papers, open source, internet rabbit holes)
  • You’ve tried Anything - and have strong opinions on what’s next

Extra signal

  • Prior experience as a founder or founding eng
  • Strong product, design, or AI model taste
  • Strong production experience with LLMs

In all roles

We look for:

Intense. Ship fast. Cycles are hours, not weeks. Hard to outwork.

Ownership. Grab the #1 priority and relentless to deliver.

Fearlessness. Risk on. Do the unknown / uncomfortable. Say “good” to bad news.

Taste. First pass lands close to final. Synthesize feedback fast. Obsess over feel.

Play. Curiosity, joy, and energy show up in your work
