Hiroic Founding Software Engineer

Description

Help Redefine How Every Company Hires. Build the Product That Fixes Hiring at the Source.

Most hiring processes start with dusty job descriptions. Hiroic starts at the beginning.

We believe the biggest problem in hiring isn’t broken applicant tracking systems or bad filtering. It’s role clarity. Teams rarely agree on what they’re hiring for, so even the best candidates fail. Hiroic is the AI hiring expert that aligns teams, defines roles with precision, and replaces chaos with clarity and confidence.

The prototype is live, design partners are testing, and investors are backing us. The demand is real. Now we need a founding engineer to join the Hiroic team, build on the foundation we’ve laid, and take the product to the next level.

This isn’t a role where tasks are handed to you. You’ll inherit decisions and structures already in place, collaborate with the Gitwit team, and then branch off to lead technical growth, architecture, and future hires.

Founding seat with support : You’ll be the technical cornerstone of Hiroic, shaping the product and its technical direction, but not starting from scratch.

0→1 stage with a foundation : The prototype works, early customers are validating it, and you’ll scale it into a product teams can’t live without.

Big problem, bold solution : Nearly half of new hires fail within 18 months because of role misalignment. Hiroic fixes that.

Venture-backed : You’ll have financial runway, traction, and studio support from 19days to move fast.

What You’ll Be Doing :

Own the stack : From backend APIs to frontend interfaces, you’ll architect and scale Hiroic’s core platform.

Ship fast, iterate faster : Translate messy role conversations into clean, testable product features.

Embed AI with purpose : Build and deploy LLM-powered features that don’t just add hype, but deliver clarity for hiring teams.

Stay close to users : Work directly with design partners, customers, and the founding team to refine the product.

Partner with Gitwit : Work closely with the Gitwit team to leverage existing knowledge, frameworks, and practices so you’re not starting from scratch.

Define technical culture : Set engineering practices, pick frameworks, and influence future hires.

What We’re Looking For :

• 4+ years of full-time development experience as a professional full-stack software engineer.
• Extensive experience in TypeScript , using React for frontend and NestJS for backend.
• Comfortable designing schemas for relational databases, writing and optimizing SQL queries, managing migrations, and working with ORMs like Prisma.
• Proven ability to build and ship production-grade apps in cloud environments (AWS or equivalent).
• Experience in integrating LLMs / AI APIs into user-facing products.
• Collaborative experience working with diverse teams, not just other developers.
• The ability to think in terms of users, outcomes, and value, not just features.
• Appetite for ambiguity, iteration, and building from scratch.

Bonus Points if you’ve :

Why You’ll Love This Role :

Impact at scale : The chance to help reinvent how hiring starts across industries.

Ownership + equity : Be treated like a founder, with the equity stake to match.

Velocity + support : Work fast with studio backing. This means no corporate red tape, but resources when you need them.

Culture of builders : Join a small, high-trust, ambitious team solving a problem that actually matters.

We operate on a hybrid model , with our teams working in the office about 80% of the week and remotely the rest. This balance gives us the best mix of in-person collaboration and individual focus time.

If you’re only able to be in the office for monthly or quarterly visits, we’d consider that a remote role.

Priority will be given to candidates who can relocate to Tulsa, OK, but exceptional candidates may be considered for remote work arrangements. Tulsa is home to our venture studio and a growing community of founders, builders, and creatives. It combines the energy of a startup hub with the accessibility of a smaller city (affordable living, short commutes, and a vibrant culture). For the ideal candidate, relocation isn’t just about proximity to the office. It’s about joining a thriving ecosystem where ideas move fast and opportunities are close at hand.

If you’re looking for a chance to own the product and the code that redefines hiring at the source, this is it.

Our full-stack venture team and proven playbook deliver products and startups that actually succeed.

Gitwit's venture studio actively finds problems worth solving and invests the first $500k - $2M to build new companies. Alongside in-house ventures, we create joint ventures and co-found new companies with corporate partners, combining our proven venture creation processes with deep domain knowledge.

On the services side, entrepreneurs and companies looking to innovate hire us to find opportunities, rapidly build, and launch products that reinvent internal workflows or create new experiences for customers.
