Senior Software Engineer ($150,000 - $190,000 + Equity) at Liminl - Pre-seed AI career platform

Company Description:
Liminl - Pre-seed AI startup mapping the world's relationship graph

Job Description:
As the first full-time hire, you will own the technical foundation of a platform turning personal networks into actionable career paths. You'll move beyond execution to drive product discovery, building complex graph algorithms and AI sequencing layers that help users navigate hidden job markets through their existing real-world connections.

Why this role is remarkable:

• Founding engineer status as the first full-time hire, inheriting a beta-stage codebase with total ownership over the future architectural roadmap.

• Build a category-defining product alongside a founder who previously scaled a creator ecosystem from 2,000 to 4 million users.

• Direct impact on solving the "hidden job market" problem by engineering sophisticated relationship graphs and conversational AI interfaces.

What you will do:

• Design and implement graph algorithms using Neo4j to visualize and navigate complex relationship data into actionable goals.

• Build and refine the AI sequencing layer that determines optimal outreach timing and personalized coaching for users.

• Own the full-stack development using React/Next.js, Node.js, and TypeScript, from high-level architecture to polished frontend onboarding flows.

The ideal candidate:

• Proven track record of shipping consumer-facing products end-to-end, ideally as a founder or early engineer at a high-growth startup.

• Deep fluency in TypeScript and modern React/Next.js, with the ability to manage complex data models across PostgreSQL and Neo4j.

• High agency individual who thrives in ambiguity, values in-person collaboration in San Francisco, and prioritizes product-market fit over rigid processes.

We never post fake jobs

This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
