About Us

Our mission? Creating equal access to coaching at work.

How we make it happen? Our AI coaching platform replicates the coaching of 9 of the world’s top experts. Forget ChatGPT wrappers, AI chatbots, or clunky 3D avatars. Our multimodal platform is fuelled by the top 0.1% experts, and includes real-time advice features bringing insights from world-class coaches into the flow of work.

Our latest obsession: providing every manager with expert insights, when they need it... and without asking for it! We freshly raised to make this become a reality.

We’re early, we’re ambitious, and we’re doing something that hasn’t been done before. The kind of thing that’s equal parts exciting and terrifying — in a good way.

The Role

We’re looking for a Senior Product Engineer with exceptional capabilities seeking to grow into a Senior Leadership Role. Someone who likes to punch above their weight and is excited by the idea of building the 1st ever learning tool with 100% active users.

· Are you an AI expert? We’re looking for an AI expert who will find it exciting to obsess and innovate in the field of real-time augmentation.

· Are you a builder at heart? You understand users, and love owning features end-to-end: from product thinking and technical design to shipping polished experiences

· Are you strategic? You will work directly with Ben, CEO and founder on our startup’s #1 goal: taking off and unlocking that series A round.

Last but not least, this role is for risk-takers only. Don’t apply if you seek a predictable, comfortable job.

What You’ll Be Doing

  • Bring the company’s tech strategy and product vision to life.
  • Lead and coordinate a small team of talented engineers.
  • Adjust course based on 16-month worth of data and user feedback (and counting!)
  • Build out our AI experiences — things like RAG pipelines, multimodal user experiences, and LLM-powered experiences that actually work in production.
  • Embed Ignitus into the flow of work with low-complexity integrations
  • Experiment with the latest models, tools, and APIs to stay ahead of the curve.
  • Own Data and Security policy. Support the CEO / sales team during IT audits
  • Keep the platform secure, stable, and scalable as we grow fast.

What You’ll Bring

  • Experience leading technical projects or teams (startups or small teams are a big plus).
  • Strong background in Python, FastAPI, or similar frameworks.
  • Experience working with LLMs, vector databases, and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG).
  • Hands-on experience deploying AI systems in production.
  • Experience in dealing with IT audits with prospects.
  • A good grasp of cloud infrastructure (Azure, AWS, or GCP).
  • A curiosity for how people learn and grow — and how tech can help with that.

Why This Role

  • You’ll be joining at take-off stage, where every product decision shapes how high the company can go. If you succeed, the team will 2-3x in the next 12 months, opening up opportunities to step up into more senior roles.
  • You’ll get to work with cutting-edge AI tech — not just talk about it.
  • You’ll have a lot of autonomy, trust, and influence within a small and passionate team
  • The equity package and progression reflects how important this role is — you’ll have real ownership in where this goes.

If you love the idea of building an AI product that actually helps people — and you want to be there from the start, helping shape both the tech and the culture — we’d love to chat.
