Careers

Build the operating system for human flourishing.

Ailiur is looking for a technical cofounder / founding software engineer to help turn a growing ecosystem of AI-native tools, web demos, product prototypes, and media-driven distribution into real shipped software.

  • AI-native consumer software
  • Enchiridion content engine
  • Founder-led, extremely lean
What we are building

One ecosystem, many surfaces.

Every product is a different window into the same intelligence layer — quietly connected underneath.

Ailiur Core / Unified Context Mesh

The intelligence layer that connects user context across every product — local-first, private, and shared securely.

Enchiridion

AI-native learning and scientific media — turning dense knowledge into something you actually retain.

Qetos

Health behavior, protocols, adherence, and daily action — the loop between intention and what you actually do.

Oruvo

Wealth, productivity, assets, and life-ROI — your time and money treated as one compounding system.

Retellum

Media reflection, reviews, and a personal taste graph — learning from everything you read, watch, and listen to.

Future hardware layer

Paper-like computing, ambient input, audio, and local-first devices — interfaces that disappear into daily life.

Open role

Technical Cofounder / Founding Software Engineer

For the builder who wants ownership, not a ticket queue.

We are looking for a technical partner who can help ship the first real versions of Ailiur’s apps, harden the architecture, and turn product vision into working software. This is a founder-level role for someone who wants to help define the company — not simply implement assigned screens.

What you’ll own

  • Build and ship production-grade versions of the existing demos and landing pages.
  • Own the web app architecture across Next.js, TypeScript, Tailwind, auth, database, analytics, and deployment.
  • Help design the technical foundation for Ailiur Core / Unified Context Mesh.
  • Integrate AI features responsibly — without fragile, expensive, or over-complicated infrastructure.
  • Turn prototypes into usable products with clear onboarding, pricing, retention, and feedback loops.
  • Work directly with the founder on product strategy, UX, technical tradeoffs, and shipping cadence.

Ideal profile

  • Strong full-stack product engineer.
  • Excellent taste in UI, interaction design, and performance.
  • Comfortable with Next.js, TypeScript, React, Tailwind, databases, auth, APIs, and deployment.
  • Drawn to AI-native software, local-first systems, HCI, education, health, media, and creator-led distribution.
  • Wants founder-level ownership and can operate with ambiguity.
  • Ships fast without making the codebase messy.
  • Values design, writing, clarity, and long-term product architecture.

Nice to have

  • Supabase, Convex, Postgres, Better Auth, Vercel, Render, or Railway.
  • AI APIs, embeddings, retrieval, vector search, agents, or local-first systems.
  • Mobile apps — React Native, Swift, Kotlin, or PWA architecture.
  • 3D web, Three.js, motion design, or creative tools.
  • Building products from zero to one.

How we’ll evaluate fit

A mutual evaluation, not a test.

We’re both deciding here. The process is built to respect your time and surface how we’d actually work together.

  1. 01

    Share your work

    Send a portfolio, GitHub, shipped work, or products you have built.

  2. 02

    Founder conversation

    A short, candid talk about goals, expectations, and how you like to work.

  3. 03

    Trial sprint

    A small trial project or prototype sprint — real work, not a coding test.

  4. 04

    Cofounder-fit

    A deeper conversation on equity, responsibilities, time commitment, and long-term vision.

  5. 05

    References

    Reference calls — both directions — before any final commitment.

Operating principles

How we actually work.

01

Everyone ships.

02

Taste matters.

03

Small teams should feel inevitable, not chaotic.

04

Local-first when possible.

05

Distribution is part of the product.

06

The best interface is the one that disappears.

07

Speed matters, but not at the cost of coherence.

08

We build tools that compound across a person’s life.

Who should reach out

Be honest with yourself.

You might be a fit if

  • You build real things without needing permission.
  • You care about product taste as much as technical correctness.
  • You like ambitious, interdisciplinary systems.
  • You can turn messy ideas into clean architecture.
  • You want founder-level ownership.

This is probably not a fit if

  • You need a fully defined job description.
  • You only want narrow engineering tasks.
  • You dislike early-stage ambiguity.
  • You want a large team with lots of management structure.
  • You are not interested in product, design, or users.
