Founding Engineer (Equity-First)

Thankly builds branded shopping apps that run inside AI assistants, including ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini, Muse and Dots. This is an equity-first founding role: compensation is equity until we reach revenue milestones, with salary after that.

You’ll build the Thankly platform and the apps we ship for clients. You’ll work from technical designs written by our CTO and engineering team, and you’ll own your work from implementation through production.

What you’ll do:

Build features across our stack: React, Vite, Express, TypeScript, Supabase and Postgres.
Turn technical designs into production code, and flag problems with a design early.
Build and maintain client apps on ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini and other AI assistants.
Use AI coding tools like Claude Code and Codex every day, and review what they produce.
Write tests, fix production issues and keep the codebase easy to work in.

What we’re looking for:

3+ years of full-time software engineering experience. Internships don’t count toward this.
Production experience with TypeScript and modern web frameworks.
Experience shipping production software with AI coding tools.
Strong fundamentals in data modeling, APIs and debugging.
Clear written communication.

How to apply: email a link to your GitHub or a project you built, plus one sentence about the best thing you’ve shipped.
