We're Onlook, the Cursor for Designers.

We made an open-source (18k stars) visual editor for code that lets anyone craft changes to codebases using AI on an infinite canvas. We just had a blowout launch of our latest product on HN, 10xing our traffic and making us the #1 trending Github repo in the world for 3 days in a row.

We’re looking to bring on Onlook’s first Founding Engineer to work with us in our incredibly cool office in downtown San Fransisco. You’re a full-stack engineer with experience in AI who is ready to build a generational design-led company.

The Role

This role requires autonomy – you’ll lay the foundation for an uncompromising open-source visual IDE that tens-of-thousands of engineers and designers around the world love, and help craft our AI.

The most important things we look for:

• Olympic-level dedication – you want to be the best in the world at what you do. • Ownership – you like autonomy and control over the destiny of the company. • Speed – you’re comfortable shipping and iterating quickly with feedback. • Craft – you’re opinionated and are willing to defend your opinions.

Ideally, you:

• Are looking for a fast-paced, intense startup environment. • Are willing to put in long hours and go the extra mile. • Are comfortable with any part of the stack, front-end, back-end, or database. • Believe in open source and are ok with your work being very public.

If you’d like to stand out, please share a project or piece of work that you’re most proud of. We love seeing people’s work.

Working at Onlook

We’re based in San Francisco, the startup capital of the world, and work closely together in person. We have a very cool office near South Park – it has ultra tall ceilings, tons of natural light, great restaurants and groceries stores just a block away, a full-kitchen, and even a shower. Employees get bespoke black bomber jackets with the Onlook crest embroidered on them, their own standing desk, monitor, budget for tech, and more swag.

You must be willing to move to San Francisco if you are not already here.

Onlook’s values are a reflection of our founding team and the cultures of the companies we’ve come from. Speed, technical excellence, brand, and attention to detail are what uniquely set Onlook apart.
