Jobs at Sauna

Own demand generation for Sauna from awareness through signup. Launch and optimize Meta and Google advertising, build creator and affiliate programs, develop content, SEO, AEO, lifecycle marketing, landing pages, and launches. Establish accurate conversion tracking, CAC, channel economics, and usage-based cost measurement. The role is hands-on, requiring the marketer to write copy, brief creative, buy media, analyze performance, and eventually hire channel specialists.

Build, refine, and scale production agent systems: multi-step tool-using agents, memory systems, proactive agents, and evaluation frameworks. Ensure fast, predictable, traceable behavior and uptime while working across infra, frontend, and product.

Early-stage AI startup seeking an ex-YC founder to join a 15-person team in San Francisco full-time. Role is flexible (engineering, product, or growth), requires hands-on startup experience, willingness to wear multiple hats, strong enthusiasm for AI agents, and commitment to work from the Presidio office five days a week. US work authorization required; O-1 or J-1 sponsorship may be available for exceptional candidates.

Design end-to-end, multi-platform experiences for AI agent creation and collaboration. Develop interaction patterns, design systems, prototypes using real AI models, and motion/micro-interactions. Partner with engineering, conduct user research, validate designs with prototypes, and influence product strategy to make complex AI capabilities feel intuitive and delightful.

Senior individual contributor who provides architectural leadership and ships production code. Design scalable, multi-tenant agent/LLM systems, define reliability/observability (SLOs, tracing, incident response), review major PRs, and implement high-impact infrastructure decisions for a small engineering team.

Own and ship polished, high-performance frontend interfaces for a complex web app. Prototype, make product/design decisions, implement UI, and collaborate on full-stack features. Optimize state management, caching, and UX details, and participate in a paid in-person work trial.

Design pixel-perfect product screens and maintain visual fidelity across web, mobile, and email. Build and maintain brand guidelines and outward-facing assets (website, social, decks). Collaborate with product and engineering to deliver production-ready Figma files and iterate quickly.

Seeking former founders or product leaders to join full-time in-person at the San Francisco Presidio office. Ideal candidates raised >$5M, reached $500k+ ARR, or were the main person shipping a standout product. Role is flexible across engineering, product, or growth; scope will be built around strengths. Candidates must be Bay Area–based or willing to relocate, have US work authorization (O-1/J-1 sponsorship possible for exceptional candidates), and be able to propose what they'd own in the first 90 days.

Lead consumer growth from thousands to millions: own social virality, programmatic SEO, paid channels, content, partnerships, and outreach; build viral loops; partner with engineering; and hire and manage a growth team as channels scale.

Build and operate backend and full-stack features for an early-stage product: sandboxed agent runtimes, real-time streaming, task queues, model routing, deployments (Cloudflare Workers + Fly.io), and production observability. Work closely with the CTO, be on-call, and ship infrastructure and product features that scale to large concurrent usage.

Own and craft Sauna's narrative across product and brand; produce visual storytelling via motion and film end-to-end (concept, shoot, motion design, edit, publish); set visual/editorial direction for social; build high-volume creative pipelines using Sauna, Claude Code, and AI tooling; be hands-on in production and execution.
