Hours: Full Time

Job Requirements / Description
We're a venture-backed startup in Chicago exploring how AI can transform people's experiences. 

Although we’re still pre-market, we’re building products to help people see themselves in the world around them. We believe the following:

That humans are unique and deserve to be heard and listened to

That where folks choose to go - or stay, or eat, or work, or play, you get the idea - ought to be a reflection of who they are as a person

That new advancements in technology can make our collective experiences more human and personal, not less

If you share any of our beliefs - or our love for people, maps, recommendations, and listening - then we’d love to talk to you!

Connect the frontend with backend APIs.

Implement real-time data updates for AI-driven features.

Optimize the UI for interactions with AI models.

Maintain frontend testing and CI/CD pipelines.

Participate in code reviews.

Troubleshoot and resolve production issues.
