Holy shit — we're hiring our first Head of Engineering at Arcade. Quick context:? Arcade is building a product for developers that helps AI DO things instead of just talk about them. ChatGPT can write your emails, but can't send one. It can write SQL, but can't query your database. This is why 70% of AI projects never get past the prototype. Arcade provides secure, authenticated connectors that let AI apps securely take real actions on behalf of the user. Things AI agents could never do before, like: ? Send emails & messages ? Access files ? Update tickets ? Schedule meetings ? And much more We raised our seed from Silicon Valley legends (announcement soon ??) and we're weeks away from GA. The role? You'll be our first Head of Engineering, leading a team of 7 elite engineers and scaling our execution to the next level. Think next-gen AI architecture, attracting world-class talent, and building systems that make developers say "finally!" Know someone brilliant who's ready to shape the future of AI infrastructure?
