About this role
About Searchable
We're building the future of AI search visibility. As ChatGPT, Claude, and Perplexity reshape how people find information, we help brands understand and optimize their presence in this new landscape. Backed by top angels and VCs, we're creating the essential platform for the AI search era.
Our core values:
1. Move Fast
We make decisions quickly and get things done. Progress matters more than perfection.
2. Find Your Lever, Then Move the World
Everyone here finds the work that matters most and takes real pride in it. When you own something, you give it your all.
3. Ask Why
We question old habits and push for better answers. If something does not make sense, speak up.
4. Value Perspicacity
We notice things others miss. We think ahead and solve problems before they get big.
5. Leadership Means Clearing the Path
Leaders remove obstacles and help others do their best work. Anyone can step up and make things easier for the team.
About the Role
Join as engineer #2-3 at a venture-backed startup with founders who have scaled companies before
Architect systems that will analyze billions of AI interactions
Define our technical culture and standards from day one
Work on genuinely hard problems - this isn't another CRUD app
Have outsized impact on a product used by Fortune 500 companies
About You
We want someone with insatiable hunger to build great software. Someone who:
Stays up late debugging because you care about the craft, not just the paycheck
Questions everything - why are we building this? Is there a better way?
Thrives in uncertainty - when the requirements are fuzzy, you make them clear through code
Takes ownership of problems, even when they're not technically 'yours'
Wants to build something meaningful - not just another CRUD app, but software that changes how people work
What you'll do
Own the full stack - from database design to user-facing features, you'll touch every layer
Build for scale from day one - we're not prototyping, we're building production systems that can handle millions of users
Ship fast, iterate faster - weekly releases, not quarterly planning cycles
Make technical decisions that align with business strategy - you're not just implementing specs, you're helping write them
Mentor future hires as we grow - you'll be setting the technical culture for everyone who comes after
