## About the role

Find and validate the problem. Bring founder-level conviction about a specific problem worth building a business around. Get in front of real customers in the first weeks, score the problem and the solution honestly, and earn the gate to build. Bring your own thesis, or take one of ours. Build the product. Author the specs, the product context, and the customer findings. Work hands-on with your Builder, and in the code yourself when it’s the fastest path. You set what gets built and why.

## What they're looking for

- A builder’s instinct and a commercial mind in the same person — a design and engineering sensibility paired with a feel for what customers will actually pay for
- Evidence you’ve shipped something real and put it in front of customers, ideally something you started or owned, not just contributed to
- The judgment to work across product, sales, marketing, and support without waiting for a function to do it for you
- A bias for the customer over the org chart
- The range to build and sell well enough that a two-person team is genuinely enough
- Prior startup or zero-to-one experience helps, a track record of finishing helps more
