Careers · The 1-percenters

Grab a paddle.
Row with us.

We're hiring the best of the best — builders who ship, obsess, and see where the world is going. Not run-of-the-mill marketers.

We're hiring the 1-percenters — not run-of-the-mill marketers.

We want builders with a development background who've shipped products on their own. We don't care where you went to school (or if you did). We care what you've built, what you're building, and where you see this all going.

The kind of person who can't sleep until the project's done. Whose feed is constantly full of learning. Who wants to jump in the boat, grab a paddle, and row with us.

Who we're looking for

The bar is the best in the world.

Builders, not talkers

You ship products on your own. Your GitHub proves it.

Dev background first

You earned vibe coding the hard way — real development experience before AI-assisted coding.

Obsessed with the craft

You can't sleep till it's done, and your feed is constantly full of learning.

AI infrastructure at scale

A solid understanding is a strong plus — heavy on the back office, or elite at UI/UX.

A marketing brain

Bonus points if you've built AI automation systems for paid advertising.

Client-fluent

You work hand-in-hand with non-technical clients — idea to prototype to production, then sell and get results.

Forward-looking

You see where the world is going, not just where it's been.

Thrives in fast water

You're built for a fast-changing, ever-evolving environment. So are we.

Open roles

Pick your seat in the boat.

AI Agent Developers

Build the agents that run the work.

You architect, ship, and harden autonomous, tool-using agents that execute real marketing in production — multi-step planning, tool/function calling, durable state, and failure recovery — for thousands of trades businesses at once.

AI Engineers

Build the AI infrastructure behind Hydra OS.

You build the retrieval, pipelines, serving, and evals that power thousands of agents reasoning over a 20-year, ~200,000-business data lake — and you make it fast, cheap, and reliable.

AI Vibe Coders

Ship product fast — because you earned it the hard way.

You move at the speed of AI-assisted development, turning ideas into shipped, production-grade product in days — with the real engineering background to know exactly what the AI generated and what to harden before it ships.

Full Stack Developer

Build the platform that ships hundreds of client sites.

You own features end to end across our Astro 5 + TypeScript monorepo — from the build-time content bridge and our headless content platform to the static sites we deploy by the hundreds on AWS S3 + multi-tenant CloudFront. You already know how to work in this environment: code-driven routing, per-client config and overrides, React islands, and incremental rebuilds through SQS and Lambda.

AI Data Scientist

Turn 20 years of trades data into an edge.

You turn our data lake — two decades and ~200,000 trades businesses — into models and signal that drive rankings, booked jobs, and ad-spend decisions, then feed it back into the agents so the platform compounds.

View role + apply →

Agentic Workflow Engineers

Connect data → decision → action, end to end.

You design the end-to-end agentic workflows that turn signals into action across the platform — especially closed-loop AI automation for paid advertising: bidding, creative, budget, and reporting.

A contract (1099) opportunity for an experienced sales, marketing, and automation pro who wants to build their own book of business.
