Onlook | Founding Engineer (Fullstack / AI)

Onlook | San Francisco or REMOTE (US) | Full-time

Onlook is an AI-native visual editor that lets designers, PMs, and engineers collaborate directly in the browser. We launched earlier this year, hit #1 on Hacker News, became the #1 trending repo on GitHub (above DeepSeek + Anthropic), and have grown to 22,000+ stars. We’re now hiring our first Founding Engineer.

We’re a design-led, product-obsessed team backed by YC, and we’re building a next-generation visual IDE used by tens of thousands of designers and engineers.

About the Role

We are looking for a Founding Engineer to join our team. You will have the opportunity to shape the culture, architecture, and direction of the product from day one.

Requirements

  • Full-stack engineer comfortable owning large, ambiguous problems
  • Strong bias toward building fast and shipping often
  • High craft, strong opinions, and willingness to defend them
  • Desire to build an open-source product in public

Tech Stack

Next.js, Tailwind, tRPC, Supabase, Drizzle, Bun, Docker, Anthropic, AI SDK.

Responsibilities

  • Work across the stack
  • Contribute to one of the fastest-growing OSS projects ever backed by YC
  • Design and ship core parts of the visual editor
  • Work with 100+ contributors
  • Help define the product with real users

Location

If you’re in SF, we have a beautiful office near South Park.

How to Apply

Share something you’ve built. A project, repo, or portfolio tells us more than a resume.
