The doing curve > the learning curve.

I’m one of the founders and CTO of blind.

I don’t care what you studied. I care what you ship.

We’re an early-stage company being assembled in real time. Your ability to step into chaos, build clarity, and move things forward matters more than any credential.

As the founding engineer, you will own the core architecture, infrastructure, and implementation of our platform. You will work directly with me and my co-founders, make high‑impact technical decisions, and shape the engineering culture from day one.

This is founder side-by-side, zero-to-one, first-hire territory.

What you'll do

• Define and own the overall system architecture across backend, frontend, data, and infrastructure.
• Design and implement the AWS‑based infrastructure using Terraform.
• Build and evolve our core application in Nest.js, React, and Postgres, from first prototypes to production‑ready features.
• Implement AI‑powered workflows.
• Establish engineering practices: code quality, testing, documentation, and pragmatic technical decision‑making suitable for an early‑stage startup.

What we're looking for

• 5+ years of hands‑on software engineering experience, including building and operating production systems.
• Strong experience with at least part of our stack: AWS, Postgres, Nest.js/Node.js, React, Terraform, and willingness to learn the rest.
• Experience using AI coding agents as part of your daily workflow (for example Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot/Codex or similar tools), and a clear opinion on how to use them effectively.
• Ability to make independent technical decisions under ambiguity and own them end‑to‑end, from design to deployment and iteration.
• Comfortable working as a true founding team member: high ownership and strong bias to ship.
