Build Grovli with us.
We're a small team building an AI food-planning experience that has to be accurate, personal, and honest about what AI can and can't do. The roles below are how we grow.
How this team works.
- You ship — production code, copy on a paywall, an outreach email — and you measure what happened after.
- You can hold an opinion AND change your mind when a teammate brings a better one. The product is the point, not the vanity of being right.
- You read code, logs, and dashboards. "I don't know yet" is fine; "I haven't checked" is not.
- You care about the people who pay us. They eat from this product every day — that earns thoughtfulness.
- Direct ownership. Whoever takes a role owns the outcome end-to-end. No "throw it over the wall" handoffs.
- Useful tools. We invest in the workflow — observability, well-documented systems, AI pair-programming. You'll feel the leverage.
- Honest scope. If a project is going to be hard, we say so. If it's going to be boring, we say that too. We don't recruit on hype.
- Compensation that scales with what you build. Equity for the early hires; growth tied to revenue for everyone.

What the process looks like.
- 01You write to us
Resume + a paragraph about why this role at this company. Skip the cover-letter template. Specifics beat polish.
- 02Short call (30 min)
Founder + you. We talk about the work, your last project, what would make this the right move for both sides.
- 03Working session (90 min)
Real problem from the codebase, scoped. Not a leetcode quiz. We pair through it; the artifact is yours regardless of outcome.
- 04Offer or honest no
Decision in 5 business days. References checked. We tell you what we'd want from the first month.
Reach out anyway.
Even if none of the listed roles fit, we read every introduction. Drop a paragraph about what you're working on and what you'd want to build with us.
