Job Description

what is wordware?

wordware brings structure, joy, and trust to human/AI collaboration.

we make AI app development as simple as writing a document. if you can explain your application in words then you can build it with wordware.

our natural language editor is enhanced with powerful features from the world of programming; conditional statements, loops, functions, multi-agent communication. you can build and test AI flows instantly, see results in real-time, iterate fast, deploy in a single click. no code required!

with access to every public AI model and thousands of API integrations, you can design truly context-aware AI applications and agents. wordware takes the transformative power of AI, connects it with the tools you already use, and builds it seamlessly into your life and work.

p.s. pls don't use zero prompt ai in your answers, we get enough of these to know immediately 😂

front-end engineering @ wordware

tl;dr we need someone who can build fast, think big, and doesn't mind wearing multiple hats. you'll be crafting the foundation of an ai development platform used by hundreds of thousands of builders. if you've ever wanted to see your code shape an entire industry, this might be your jam.

the bigger picture: we're not just talking to traditional developers. we're reaching the next 500 million people who will be "coding" with plain english - lawyers, designers, product managers, founders, and domain experts of all kinds. our product needs to thread an impossible needle: deep enough for engineers, accessible enough for everyone else, and compelling enough to show both groups why this matters.

what you'll actually be doing:

  • architecting stuff that matters:

    • collaborative ide for ai development (think google docs meets vscode)

    • real-time multi-user editing with y.js

    • llm orchestration that actually works

    • crafting the foundations of AI agents that no-one has solved yet

  • writing a ton of code (mostly typescript/next.js)

  • keeping our stack running smoothly (aws/cloudflare)

  • talking to users when they break things

  • sometimes making product decisions on the fly

  • solving hard problems, for example:

    a core part of wordware is the executor that interprets the wordware schema to run the agents. these agents can have arbitrarily long duration especially when they request input from a human. they also need to have extremely low latency for the realtime case. plus be highly reliable. oh, and they need to be traceable and debuggable by our end users and scale from zero to thousands in a matter of seconds.

you should probably:

  • have built real things that real people use (4+ years)

  • be comfortable with our stack:

    • typescript + next.js + react

    • tiptap + y.js for collab

    • all the llm apis (openai, anthropic, mistral, etc)

  • actually enjoy the chaos of startup life

  • have experience building with AI - an “AI engineer”

  • fix things without being asked

  • care about users more than your code

  • it’s a bonus if you have been a founder/cto in the past, currently all engineers raised VC but we are okay to branch out

real talk:

  • sf only, lots of work, meals at the office

  • you'll be shipping to production day 1

  • sometimes you'll build features without full specs - you’ll need to uncover the unknown requirements

  • you might have to make ux decisions when designers/founders are busy

  • your code will impact hundreds of thousands of developers

  • yes, we actually do crossbow competitions

if you've ever:

  • built something complex from scratch

  • wished you could fix developer tools

  • wanted to shape how ai is built

ps: we're backed by spark capital, felicis, and y combinator ($30m seed — biggest out of YC round) but we still work like a seed startup. and yes, the office will have a sauna and be 30m from the sea 🥵
