About the role

As Steve Jobs imagined the personal computer as a bicycle for the mind, Obvious imagines AI as a garden for the mind.
What if, instead of just vibe coding, you could vibe‑work?
What if getting from idea to done wasn't so opaque, stubborn, and high‑latency?

Drive full-stack feature development from conception to deployment, owning key product initiatives end-to-end
Collaborate on the design and implementation of user-facing features that improve the experience
Build robust, performant web applications using modern frontend and backend technologies
An engineering bar we hold at staff level regardless of how you're titled-we'll ask about design-system fluency and client-server/UI performance judgment, not just ship velocity
running analysis, searching the web, writing documents, generating tables, designing presentations, visualizing data, building dashboards, and more.
What if there was a way to consistently deliver work that feels like it came from the best version of you on your best day?
This isn't just about writing prompts - it's about building resilient systems that can handle the unique challenges of working with AI at scale and can solve some of the industry's most interesting problems like memory, agent-to-agent collaboration, non-deterministic repeatability, and more.
If you're excited to solve some of the world's most challenging problems and build Al that can deliver on real-world objectives, join us.

Background in coding agents or multi-agent systems
Informed opinions on agent orchestration
Contributions to open-source projects or developer tools
Previous experience at a high-growth startup
You need fully-specced requirements to operate-at our size, you'll define scope as often as you're handed it
You see frontend and backend as separate lanes rather than one job
You can't handle startup pace
A track record of end-to-end ownership-driving ambiguous problems from first idea to shipped, not executing a spec handed down

Build AI/LLM integrations as a core part of the product, not a bolt-on-agent-facing UX, not just prompting
We are small and talent-dense.
