About Primed
Weâre building
Primed,
an AI-native recruiting service that delivers
interview-ready candidates
, not tools recruiters still have to operate.
This starts as a
service powered by AI agents
, not a massive platform on day one.
We already have:
Real customers
Real demand
Deep domain expertise in recruitment
-
Now weâre building the
core agent experience
that candidates interact with and validating it in the wild.
What Weâre Looking For
Weâre looking for a
product-minded engineer
to help us build and ship a focused MVP.
This is
not
a full platform build.
Itâs about:
Creating a high-quality AI agent experience
Making it feel human, safe, and genuinely useful
Shipping fast and learning from real users
Youâll work closely with the founder (ex-recruitment agency owner) and shape how this product evolves.
What Youâll Do (Initially)
Build a simple web experience where candidates interact with an AI âhiring managerâ
Help structure prompts, guardrails, and responses so the agent behaves properly
Store and surface candidate conversations and signals
Keep things scrappy, simple, and production-ready
Most ops and workflows will be manual at first â thatâs intentional.
Ideal Background
You donât need to be a âCTOâ already.
Youâre likely someone who:
Has shipped real software before (startup or early engineer)
Is comfortable working with LLMs / APIs
Cares about UX and user psychology
Enjoys turning rough ideas into working products
Is curious about building something long-term â but doesnât need promises upfront
Tech stack (flexible):
JS / TS or Python
OpenAI / Anthropic or similar
Simple backend + database (Supabase, Firebase, etc.)
How This Starts
Paid contract / sprin
t
(clear scope)
Part-time is fine
If we work well together and traction continues, we can discuss:
Longer-term role
Meaningful equity
Leading the technical direction
