About the role

You'll own the product surface of Sauna: the interfaces people use to hand work to it, watch it happen, trust the result, and come back tomorrow.

What they're looking for

  • You've shipped complex web products and owned them after launch. We want to see the work: multiplayer experiences, large-data apps with real fetching and caching strategy, streaming or realtime UIs
  • You have product taste and act on it. Give you a rough direction and you'll sketch the interaction, build it, and defend the tradeoffs
  • You know React deeply: state management, when to lift into context or a store, what re-renders and why, how to write components other people want to reuse
  • You're comfortable owning a full-stack feature end to end: migration, route, fetch, UI, analytics
  • You care about performance and can explain your caching, invalidation, and optimistic-update choices. Duplicated network requests bother you
  • You care about craft: loading states, empty states, error copy, keyboard shortcuts, the thousand small decisions that make software feel good
More about this role

This is a full-time, in-person role based in San Francisco (Presidio) - we work from the office 5 days a week .

Sauna is an AI assistant that does work for you, not just answers questions. You connect it to the tools you already use (Gmail, Calendar, Slack, Linear, Notion, and a few thousand others) and it runs in the cloud on its own computer, 24/7, whether or not you're online.

In practice that looks like: a briefing in your inbox every morning built from your calendar and email. Replies drafted in your voice, waiting for approval. A Linear ticket filed from a Slack thread. When it notices you asking for the same thing repeatedly, it turns that into a routine that runs on a schedule, or builds a small app with its own UI and database that you (and it) can use going forward.

You talk to it wherever you already are: our web and iOS app, iMessage, Slack, email, or inside Superhuman. Each person has their own Sauna with its own memory of how they work, and Saunas on the same team can talk to each other,...
