We aim to launch ventures
10x faster and cheaper
than traditional methods using our internal "AI factory": a multi-agent architecture, reusable component libraries, and a growing knowledge graph that learns from every product we ship.
TasksResponsibilities
Code with AI-first speed.
Use AI to turn product specs into production-ready React, Supabase, and serverless back-ends in days, not weeks.
Architect for scale (and scrappiness).
Apply clean, hexagonal patterns so v1 can evolve without rewrites.
Prototype ? pilot ? product.
Move fast through validation loops: hack the MVP, shadow users, ship the fix, repeat.
Wear many helmets.
One sprint you’re spinning up CI/CD; the next you’re tweaking prompts or jumping on a creator livestream to debug user feedback in real time.
Set the engineering culture.
Establish the rituals, docs, and testing standards that future hires will learn from you.
RequirementsRequirements
Software Development : You’re an expert in developing native apps, with a mobile-first mindset. You must be able to build at lightning speed without compromising quality.
Shipping Experience : You’ve shipped AI side projects - or research - that prove you can learn fast and finish.
AI-native developer:
You already treat LLMs as teammates and using agents to automate tasks.
Grit and ownership:
When the build breaks at 11 pm, you pour coffee.
Edge-of-curve learner:
You track the latest AI tools, play with new MCPs, and deploy multi-agent systems
Action oriented:
Strong bias toward rapid execution and experimentation.
Must-haves
React / Next.js, Supabase / Postgres, Python back-end chops
Prompt-engineering or fine-tuning experience
Nice-to-haves
Familiarity with Stripe, Discord, TikTok or other creator-economy tools
Side hustle, hackathon wins, or open-source contributions
BenefitsPerks and upside
Equity:
Significant
Salary:
Competitive graduate package with rapid step-ups tied to revenue milestones (upon shipping or fundraising)
Creator collabs:
Brainstorm features with the largest creators who reach millions.
Mentorship:
Weekly 1-on-1s with our CTO and access to operator-investors across the studio network.
Culture:
Bold, confident, creative, real-no buzzword bingo
If interested in applying, please include one paragraph on the coolest thing you built with an AI tool.
**
More on why this is a career launchpad**
Own the code and the company.
You step in as
Founding Engineer #1 , receiving a meaningful equity stake from day one.
Ship faster with AI at your side.
We’ve baked AI tools into our workflow so you spend time solving problems, not yak-shaving boilerplate.
Ride a rocket, not a conveyor belt.
Affinity Labs is a venture studio that partners with top content creators to turn influence into scalable software. Think “Prime for software”
Grow like crazy.
You’ll architect, build, and launch multiple products each year. The shipping reps you’ll get in 12 months here would take 3 - 4 years in a typical startup.
Learn from builders, not bosses.
You’ll work shoulder-to-shoulder with a founding team that has scaled VC-backed startups, closed multi-million-pound term sheets, and shipped products used by millions.
