Job description
To apply: 1. run: ``` npx standout standout-founding-eng ``` 2. upload results 3. post your results on X and tag `@standoutwork` () in your post --- You’d own a full slice of Standout end-to-end — either the **company experience** (how hiring managers brief us, see talent, decide) or the **talent experience** (how the people we represent get found, profiled, and intro’d). UX, UI, and the conversational agent inside it. All of it. From Figma-equivalent to prod. The job is to make the agent unreasonably helpful. Most “AI products” feel like a chat box stapled to a CRUD app. Ours shouldn’t. The bar is: a hiring manager opens it, types one line, and gets something a senior recruiter would’ve taken a week to put together — and it looks beautiful. **You’re a fit if:** * You ship fast and you ship taste. The product feels right when you build it. * You’ve spent the last year deep in vibe-coding / Cursor / Claude Code / v0 — not as a curiosity, as your actual workflow. * You come from one of: a real product or design background, a great builder who fell into code through AI, or an engineering background where the design instinct is just there. * You care about the small things: empty states, copy, the shape of a button, what the agent says when it has nothing to say. * You can hold an entire product surface in your head and own it without a PM. **You’re not a fit if:** * You need a spec. * You want to specialize in “the backend” or “the frontend.” * You think AI is hype. * You haven’t shipped something end-to-end in the last six months. **The stack** is Next.js 16, React 19, TypeScript, Tailwind, Postgres + Prisma, Anthropic + LangGraph agents, OpenSearch. You’ll touch all of it. We don’t have a frontend team and a backend team — we have product engineers.
