About the role

what is wordware?

we're building the all-in-one platform for AI development.

here's what that actually means:

the core: a programming language for building just AI assembly language for the new reasoning unit (LLM) is English, so let’s put it front and centre and incorporate best concepts from software engineering:

  • conditional statements

  • loops

  • function calling functions (aka in fancy language multi-agent communication) — this is more difficult than it seems because of the needed type system (see below)

  • type system (especially important for interacting with multimodal LLMs where one output might have to be transformed to be passed on forward to the next step of the flow which might incorporate an LLM which can only interact with specific modalities)

  • easy linking with Tools (custom or prebuilt and ready to use: speech-to-text, image generation, ElevenLabs, research and many more

the ide: where the magic happens like notion met vscode and had a baby. build and test AI flows instantly, see results in real-time, iterate fast.

deployment: choose your flavor

  • api mode:

  • workflow mode:

  • wordapps & repository:

in-house recruiter @ wordware

tl;dr: we need someone who can help us build the next generational company. primary focus on GTM roles, but you'll also help scale our technical recruiting process that's already working. if you've ever looked at impossible hiring targets and thought "LFG" - we should talk.

the actual challenge:

we're building the operating system for AI, and we need to build the team that'll get us there. you'll be focused on finding the kind of people who get energized by our slightly unhinged culture and massive technical challenges. the kind who read our job posts and think "holy shit, this is my tribe."

what you'll actually be doing:

* owning GTM hiring end-to-end:

* building relationships with sales/marketing talent

* running processes that actually close candidates

* making hiring managers' lives easier

* supporting technical hiring:

* following up with engineering candidates

* keeping processes smooth and candidates happy

* helping scale what's already working

* being our talent brand voice:

* writing job posts that attract our people

* crafting outreach that doesn't sound like linkedin spam

* telling our story in a way that resonates

you probably:

* have hired for both GTM and technical roles

* understand what makes great salespeople tick

* can spot authentic hustlers from linkedin warriors

* write messages people actually respond to

* close candidates against bigger offers

* thrive in startup chaos

real talk:

* sf only - you need to be where the action is

* you'll work directly with founders

* unlimited budget for the right people

* candidates will range from former founders to senior big tech folks

* yes to the crossbow competitions and sauna by the sea

* we're in hustle mode - this isn't a 9-5 recruiting job

why now:

* 350k users

* $30m seed (biggest out of YC)

* ready to scale the team

* but we need to maintain the culture that got us here

if you're ready to help build something generational, tell me:

  1. your best recruiting war story

  2. most impressive candidate you've closed

  3. why you'd vibe with our delulu universe

email: sebastian [at] wordware.ai + submit your application through Ashby

ps: we're looking for someone who wants to build long-term. if you just want to hit some quick hiring targets and bounce, this isn't it. but if you want to help build the next iconic tech company, let's talk.

About Wordware

  • Wordware (YC S24) ) is a toolkit that enables anyone to build, iterate, and deploy their AI stack easily. Our unique approach is centered around Natural Language Programming. Long term we see ourselves as an AI Operating System (aiOS) that acts as an orchestration layer for LLMs, databases, and tools.
  • Sign up for free using this link: app.wordware.ai
  • Primary Tool for Millions of AI Engineers coming to the market in the next 5 years
  • Our users range from AI Tinkerers (free tier) to small startups (for example – 7 YC clients on Company Plan – 899 USD/month) ending at bigger enterprises (Instacart is a client)
  • ⁠In the last 2 months, we went viral a couple of times:
  • Since our launch (2nd of August) we grew from 10k users on our main product, to over 300k today.
  • Repeat founders (Filip Kozera and Robert Chandler) both with exits
  • They’ve known each other for the last 10 years following their research at Cambridge. They have been building companies in Transformers and AI Ops. They have worked full-time on companies together for the last 3 years.
  • The Wordware team is 9 ppl all based in SF.
  • Product + Community Led Growth

note: we're in hustle mode. we're shipping as fast as we can. this is not the kind of job you can cruise and 9-5. only apply if you want to grind, work late nights, and be part of a generational company. We are an onsite company (SF), expect a big house where the founders live, free food, beers and cool team activities.

So we are here, you are looking for a job at a startup huh?

⁉️ What’s it going to be like ⁉️

In Shackleton's famous words: “People wanted for hazardous journey. Low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. Safe return doubtful. Honour and recognition in the event of success.”

  • Why tho?

    Risk + Excitement + Hard Work == Startup. Sure, you could join a big company and make decent money but it's that constant thrill of hope, the addictive energy that makes Robert and I come back to startups over and over again 😵‍💫

    To thrive here, you’ve got to embrace this delulu universe, where the victories give us hope and the failures make us want it even more. Yes, we work late hours and often deal with some bullshit, but you'll be part of something bigger and even more, you will have a direct impact on EVERYTHING.

    If you're ready to roll up your sleeves, identify your own features to build, and find your own problems to solve, then come on in. Grab a beer and a slice of pizza, and dive into creating the future of natural language programming and AI agents. Together, we'll revolutionize the way we work. Green Light. 🟢

So, what is Wordware?

***Wordware** is a prompt-first programming language that can be used by non-developers (AI Engineers). We merge concepts like loops, logic and functions from the world of classical programming with the non-deterministic nature of Language Models. It’s exposed in a web-hosted IDE with features like sharing, forking and API deployment.*
