Founding FrontEnd Engineer to $3750
Founding Backend Engineer
This is the beating heart of wring.co. If this seat is empty:
- We can’t ship product at the speed early customers expect.
- There is no technical owner to set the bar for code quality, reliability, and velocity.
- We won’t have the foundation of a culture that values both rigorous engineering and pragmatic execution.
This role is the difference between a promising idea and a real business.
The Kind of Person We’re Not Looking For
Let’s be direct - if you:
- Need pixel-perfect specs before you start exploring solutions.
- Prefer polishing isolated components over solving real user problems.
- Avoid customer conversations or don’t care about how your work feels to users.
- Clock in at 9 and out at 5 without caring whether the mission moves forward.
This isn’t going to be a fit. We want someone who:
- Obsessively thinks about users and their workflows.
- Moves fast, iterates, and sweats the small details.
- Has a startup mindset: bias for action, curiosity, and urgency.
