**Living context. A persistent preference layer, owned by you**
We're building the thing that should have existed before any of them.
Can't say much publicly yet, but: your personal data should work for you, not
against you. Not as a tagline. As an architectural decision baked into every
layer of the system.
If "privacy-first" makes you roll your eyes because nobody means it, good.
We'd get along.
The product is built, patents are filed. We're looking for a founding engineer
to help lead and ship it. We're building the future of personalized
intelligence. We're early and building fast.
**You 'll be a Founding Engineer on the team.** You'll ship product end to
end, shape the architecture, and own entire systems. This is not a "pick up
tickets" job. You'll be in the room for every product, design, and infra
decision we make.
What you'll work on:
* **Building the preference architecture and models:** signal extraction, decay, provenance and portability
* **The protocol layer:** how any AI or system plugs in, with consent
* **Consumer product surfaces:** onboarding, chat, insights and planning
* **Connector pipelines:** Third-party integrations, OAuth, APIs and MCPs
**Stack**
TypeScript, Next.js, Fastify, Postgres (Drizzle), BullMQ, Redis, Turborepo.
**You**
* Ideally 4+ years shipping production software, at least one stint as a senior or staff engineer at a fast-moving company, but we will speak to passionate excellent engineers from all backgrounds
* Full-stack by default, opinionated about product, comfortable in ambiguity
* You care about the shape of the product, not just the code
* Bonus: you've worked on personal data, agent infra, graph systems, or consumer AI
**Why join**
* Founding equity, real ownership
* Ship to users from week one
* You'll help define a category, not iterate on someone else's roadmap
* Small team, high trust, no process theater
* Based in SF, full remote must be US based with US authorization to work.
**Apply with a short note on why wiive, and one thing you 've built that
you're proud of.**
