We're a small, in-person team in San Francisco building the first AI orchestrator.
Conductor lets you run a team of coding agents on your Mac. We launched a few months ago, and are now used by engineers at leading companies like Linear, Vercel, Notion, Stripe, and Y Combinator. One user told me:
A huge amount of my work now is wildly parallelized, in a way I’ve never had to worry about before. It’s been a while since a dev tool has changed my life [like Conductor did].
We’re on a mission to build the human interface to AI organizations. We’re a team of four looking for one or two more exceptional engineers or designers. No AI experience needed, just some enthusiasm for the awesome alien power of LLMs.
About us
- Charlie and Jackson met eight years ago when we played ultimate frisbee together at Brown. Last year, we quit our jobs at Point72 and Netflix to start Conductor together.
- Our team is just three people, us and Omid, and we love working with each other. #4 could be you!
- We ship unusually fast
- We’re backed by some of the best investors in the valley. We have plenty of money to keep the company running through rough patches.
- We work in person in our beautiful San Francisco office
About you
We’re looking for a scrappy jack of all trades: an idea generator, an explorer, someone who can talk with users, design, prototype, and then actually build a beautiful product.
You’re probably a good fit if some or all of these are true:
- You like to move fast
- You have strong opinions about software
- You have deep technical expertise
- You use AI tools conscientiously
- You feel like your work reflects some part of who you are
A few things we DON’T care about:
- Experience with our tech stack (TypeScript, Tauri, React). We trust you can pick it up.
- Experience developing AI or ML products. We’re looking for strong software engineers.
Compensation
Pay
Compared to similar companies at our stage, we aim to pay roughly median salary and 90th percentile equity.
We give out more stock than other companies because we hire less, and each employee can make an unusually large impact.
For exceptional talent, we’re happy to pay exceptional amounts, in cash and especially equity. If that’s you, please reach out.
Health care
- Health: Aetna PPO $500
- Dental: Guardian PPO 2000
- Vision: Guardian VSP Vision (Choice)
… and, most importantly, Real Health Care: sleep, nutrition, exercise, social support. We try to make Conductor a strongly positive influence on all those fronts.
Other
Whatever you need to be productive, we’ll help you get it. We trust our team with an extremely broad expense policy. More about our culture.
Send us a short message answering one of these questions:
- What’s your favorite piece of software, and what do you like about it?
- What's something you're actively learning right now, either for work or just for fun? How are you going about it?
- If you’ve used Conductor before: What was confusing? What would you like to change about it?
No need to write more than a few sentences. If you’re a human, we recommend you do not use AI—nearly always, we’d rather read human writing than AI writing. (Yes, we can tell the difference.)
If you have a personal website or Twitter profile, please include a link.
If we think you could be a good fit:

- We send you an offer!
