Careers

Help us build the IDE that listens.

We're hiring three founding roles. Small team, real ownership, deep work, and a product you'll actually use to do your job.

  • Founding Engineer · Rust

    San Francisco or remote (Americas / EU overlap)$220k–$280k + 0.8–1.6% equity

    Own a slice of the runtime — diffusion bridging, voice pipeline, or the editor itself. You'll write Rust most days and ship to real users every week.

    What you'll do

    • Design and implement a top-level eri_* crate end-to-end, with API surface, tests, and benchmarks you defend in review.
    • Push the diffusion runtime closer to four-second deploys by attacking whichever bottleneck is in the way that week.
    • Co-own the editor surface — performance, focus, and the parts of the UI that don't yet exist.
    • Help us figure out what "good" voice-first input feels like when no one has shipped it before.
    • Hold the bar on Rust correctness — propagate errors with `?`, refuse `unwrap()`, write the test before the abstraction.

    Apply by emailing careers@eri.dev with a short note, your resume or LinkedIn, and one thing you shipped you're proud of.

  • Founding Designer

    San Francisco strongly preferred$180k–$240k + 0.6–1.4% equity

    Define what a voice-first IDE looks and feels like. You'll work on the editor, the marketing site, the docs, and the way every surface fits together.

    What you'll do

    • Set the visual and interaction language for eri across desktop, web, and onboarding flows.
    • Prototype quickly in code or Figma — whichever lets us feel the answer faster — and ship to production.
    • Lead the typography, motion, and density decisions that make eri feel like a tool, not a chat window.
    • Sit with five users a week and watch what their hands and eyes actually do.
    • Hire the second designer once we know what kind of designer we need.

    Apply by emailing careers@eri.dev with a short note, your resume or LinkedIn, and one thing you shipped you're proud of.

  • Founding GTM

    San Francisco$170k–$220k + 0.4–1.0% equity

    First non-engineering hire. Own the path from "developer hears about eri" to "team standardizes on it" — content, community, lifecycle, and the first revenue motion.

    What you'll do

    • Build the early demand engine — long-form writing, video, partnerships, events, and whatever else moves the needle.
    • Run point on the first 100 paying teams: onboard them, learn what they care about, feed it back to product.
    • Stand up lifecycle, attribution, and an honest dashboard the whole team can read.
    • Help us figure out pricing as we hit each new tier of usage.
    • Hire the second GTM person once you know the playbook.

    Apply by emailing careers@eri.dev with a short note, your resume or LinkedIn, and one thing you shipped you're proud of.
