• Location & Travel: Based in the United States with the ability to travel to San Francisco every 2–3 months for collaborative sessions and industry events.

• Competitive base salary ($130,000 - $200,000) along with meaningful founding-team equity.
• Remote-friendly work environment within the United States.
• Dedicated travel and assembly budget for team visits and community events.
• The opportunity to shape a technical product from the ground floor as part of a high-growth startup.
