Wordware is an IDE for building AI agents using natural language.

It looks and feels like Notion, but lets you design, test, and deploy AI systems in real time - without writing code.

Our mission is to bring structure and joy to human–AI collaboration.

We’re building a generational company that empowers the next billion knowledge workers to create with AI - not by writing code, but by expressing intent.

We’re backed by Spark Capital, Felicis, and Y Combinator ($30M seed round - the largest in YC history).

We work hard, move fast, and don’t take ourselves too seriously. It’s intense, but it’s also fun - at Wordware, you’ll do the best work of your life alongside people you genuinely like.

what’s it going to be like

in Shackleton's famous words: “people wanted for hazardous journey. low wages, bitter cold, long hours of complete darkness. safe return doubtful. honour and recognition in the event of success.”

risk + excitement + hard work = startup life

sure, you could join a big company and make big money, but there's something about that constant thrill of hope, that addictive energy that makes us keep coming back to startups 😵‍💫

to thrive here, you need to embrace our delulu universe, where victories give us hope and failures make us want it even more. yes, it can be intense, but you'll have direct impact on everything we build.

you're ready to roll up your sleeves, identify your own features to build and find your own problems to solve? grab a beer and a slice of pizza. let's build the future of AI development together.

who thrives here:

we're not just looking for technical skills. we need people who push limits in life, whether that's:

• skiing down a gnarly double black diamond
• speaking in front of crowds
• starting companies
• pushing through fear
• tackling impossible problems

building a company trying to define a market takes a certain type of person:

• you stay cool when everything's on fire
• you take smart risks (and learn from dumb ones)
• you adapt fast when plans explode
• you have the grit to power through setbacks
• you see obstacles as puzzles to solve

if you've ever looked at something terrifying and the first thought that comes is "LFG" - we should talk. at wordware, we're redefining how the world builds with ai. it's scary, exciting, and we are delusional

p.s. yes we have crossbow competitions and do sauna+cold plunges in the sea together

don't see your role? apply anyway

tl;dr if you're exceptional, we'll create a role for you. simple as that.

how to stand out:

• build something cool with wordware and, even better, join our discord server to show us
• show us how to improve our product before we even talk
• prove you're proactive (we're really busy!)

if you're truly excellent, just drop your linkedin to lucy [at] wordware.ai

ps: seriously, if you're great at what you do but don't fit the roles above, reach out anyway. we're always looking for exceptional people who get what we're building.

pps: we judge you on what you build, not when you build it. weekends are sacred, burnout is stupid. we're looking for people who want to create something generational and know when to push hard and when to recharge.

Prompt engineer @ Wordware

We need someone who can show the one billion professionals that coding in plain English is the future of AI development.

We're creating a new programming paradigm based on natural language, but explaining why this matters is hard. we need someone who can bridge the gap between traditional developers and the next wave of AI builders - someone who can both code a complex demo and explain it in simple, engaging language.

We're not just talking to traditional developers. we're reaching the next billion people who will be "coding" in plain english - teachers, designers, product managers, founders, and domain experts of all kinds. You'll be at the forefront of this revolution, showing them what's possible.

What You'll Do:

There are two equal areas of focus that you'll be fundamental in shaping:

1. Building

Creating natural language AI applications using Wordware. We're assembling a library of agents that anyone can use, extend, or adapt into their daily life and work.

This means you'll be identifying real-world problems and solving them using AI. Your applications will be used by hundreds of thousands of professionals.

2. Sharing

Engaging with the Wordware community. This means creating technical content around your applications, producing implementation tutorials, and sharing best practices.

You'll be working closely with our users, fostering conversation and helping the world build their own applications with Wordware.

Who You Are

• You have used Wordware before. Seriously. (If not, go build something and then come back)

• You have real experience with LLMs. You engineer prompts like a pro

• You know how to explain complex ideas in a way that is easy to understand

• You are charismatic. You are comfortable on calls, camera, and stage

• You can make complicated demos seem simple

• You actually enjoy talking to people and can speak to both engineers and domain experts in a wide range of fields

• You can look at a problem that 10 people have already seen and come up with a completely novel solution!

• You are somewhat technical. You don't need to be a professional developer, but you do need to know the basic principles of coding

Bonus (but not required)

• You have previous Developer Relations experience

• You're already using AI to automate things you used to do manually

• You've created and shared content with high engagement. Maybe you have a Substack or a YouTube channel

• You have experience building successful communities

• You have experience conducting user interviews and user research

The Process

If this sounds like a great fit for you, submit your resume and answer a few short questions

1. Send us a 1 minute Loom

Submit your resume and answer a few short attached questions. If it looks like a fit, we’ll invite you to send a 1-minute Loom video: tell us who you are and why you want to join Wordware.

1. Have a 15-minute intro call

Quick check to align on location, motivation, and logistics. If it’s a go, we move fast from here.

1. Do a 60-minute technical interview

You’ll build a Wordware flow, deploy it and discuss it

• 40 mins building and problem solving in the Wordware Editor

• 20 mins talking about/debugging existing Wordware Applications in a simple and engaging way

1. Final conversation

Quick vibe check, answer your questions, and scope out the work trial

1. Work Trial

Paid trial to work on a real project in person with us — usually a few days to two weeks (flexible to do what works for you). See how we work and whether this feels like the right fit on both sides.

• Full-stack Typescript, Next.js, React and SST serverless on AWS/Cloudflare
• Using TipTap as the core of our IDE with Y.js for collaboration
• PartyKit (Cloudflare Durable Objects) for Y.js websockets and likely for future orchestration of pipelines
• Open source LLMs hosted by Together AI (we’re a customer story on their website) + Groq + OpenAI/Anthropic/Mistral/Google/Cohere/Perplexity for proprietary LLMs
