Build AI With Real Impact for Real People
Join a mission-led startup using AI to solve one of the most frustrating problems millions face: getting a fair go from businesses. We have funding, a bold roadmap and a massive opportunity to make an impact. We’re looking for a Lead Engineer with a path to CTO for the right person. A rare chance to shape the product, the tech and the impact from the ground up.
IMPORTANT! To apply for this role, see "Next Steps" below. Applications submitted only through LinkedIn won't be considered.
About Ajust
Ajust is a VC-backed startup based in Sydney. We believe everyone will use AI to eliminate admin and get wins with businesses. Our mission is to be the trusted guide and advocate for consumers. Ajust was founded by Tom (ex-lawyer who worked for a High Court judge, ex-Head of Product at LegalVision). Our team comes from Aussie tech greats like Airtasker + SafetyCulture and has experience scaling startups to millions of consumers in the US.
How You’ll Make An Impact
We’ve built a platform for consumers to contact businesses and resolve complaints. We’re now building an army of AI advocates who will make sure our users get wins. Our advocates will:
* Assess whether consumers can get a win (eg check whether you could get compensation for internet issues).
* Perform specific tasks for consumers (eg draft remarkable social posts that nudge businesses to take action).
* Provide 24/7 support to consumers with live cases (eg suggest their next move in a case and take it for them).
As our Lead Engineer, you’ll:
* Set and execute our tech roadmap and put AI advocates in the hands of our users.
* Shape our infrastructure and methodology for building and scaling advocates.
* Explore and test new tech frontiers that will push our product and business to the next level.
* Establish the foundations of our engineering culture and team.
Who We’re Looking For
Some things that’ll make you stand out:
* Worked at a high quality startup - or built something of your own and made real progress.
* Already building with emerging AI / LLM technologies.
* Genuinely care about how your code gets jobs done for our users and helps our business hit its targets.
* Hungry to take a career swing to build a big and unique business.
We're in the process of updating our stack so we can move faster and make the most of emerging tech. Our current stack is Next.js, MUI, Python, AWS. The new stack is Next.js, Shadcn, Vercel AI SDK, Typescript, Supabase.
Critical acceptance criteria is that you're happy to roll up your sleeves to get things built. We’re not hiring for leadership or strategy only.
What Ajust Can Offer You
Here’s a taste of what makes Ajust a unique opportunity:
Work on something that matters. We’re building a future where consumers don’t have to wait on hold or wade through administrative sludge. You’ll be shipping product that will make life better for millions of consumers.
At the AI frontier. Ajust is a unique and valuable use case of LLMs. We’ve arrived at a perfect time to build a huge, impactful and lasting business.
Get in early, shape the future. Our team can still fit around a Yum Cha table. And like any good round table, everyone’s voice counts. You’ll have a say in shaping our engineering function and shaping our business.
Exceptional team with exceptional benefits. Our team is not huge, it’s great. And we’re selective about bringing in the best people. If that’s you, we’ll back you with a strong salary and equity (options) well above benchmarks. Plus a range of Ajust intangibles – like regular team lunches, “reverse giving” on your birthday, connecting every team member with a mentor and our “intentional hybrid” culture.
