Founding Engineer: Ideaflow.io – A Notebook that Augments Your Intelligence
Ideaflow Intro Conversation Video (Live)
Hey guys, we're looking for a standout full stack engineer to build ideaflow.io with us, possibly becoming a principal engineer. We are a unique company both in structure and mission, and raised >$10M in seed from top VCs, including First Round Capital, Naval, and the former CTO of Reddit. Our first product is a notebook that augments your intelligence — an ultra-low friction personal knowledge management system with aspirations to become a global brain.
We have a large vision, unique history, and you can read more about some of the background ideas here: ideaflowbackground.jacobcole.net. We're trying to build a culture that feels like a merry band of skilled, emotionally intelligent hackers, living righteously off the land :) We'd like nothing more than to create true “assistive technology”, a suite of tools to make life easier for everyone – starting with the part of the computer closest to your brain: your notebook.
We believe that what we're doing is on the critical path to unlock global collective intelligence, and tap the capacity of the Internet to help us care for each other more effectively. We aspire to be the bridge that enables AI to become a true extension of our minds.
Technical challenges on the horizon include performance UX engineering across the stack, such as collaborative editing in prosemirror.net, IDE-like autocompletes with tens of thousands of items, and building an LLM of your notes you can talk to.
Email me at [email protected] with “Hiring2023” in the subject line – I am a former MIT Media Lab Collective Intelligence researcher, and this project has been my life mission for over 7 years. I’d love to share why it matters so much to me, and why I think it’s so important.
Our team is currently five fascinating, heart-centered, and inquisitive people 🌱. This is a chance to join the founding team of a company we hope becomes a new intellectual hub, and be a creative partner with huge autonomy and upside in what our investors think could be a $10B+ business in size and impact. We're a great fit for someone who can really fall in love with building a super fast personal notetaking system or has a lot of thoughts (writings, lists, quotes, ideas, or notes on people!). Also a great fit some someone who is philosophical, spiritual, and oriented towards emotional and physical healing 🤗
