Senior Full Stack Engineer

10 months ago, my co-founder and I were broke AF 😂

We were literally days away from moving back to our parents' basements because our AI tool was making a whopping $500/month. Nobody believed in it except us.

Fast forward to today: we just hit $350,000/month, we're on track for $4M+ this year, and next year we'll blow past $10M. Now we're building toward a $1B valuation, and this is where YOU come in.

Hi, I'm Naz, co-founder of Poppy AI.

We built an AI tool that saves creators hundreds of hours. Now we need someone who can help us build new features and scale Poppy AI to handle thousands more users. Is that you?

At Poppy, we've created the first and ONLY multiplayer AI in the world where you can drag & drop YouTube videos, PDFs, voice notes, and images all in one place and collaborate with your team Figma-style! We're helping content creators, founders, and marketers make VIRAL content & ads while saving 100's of hours per month! 🚀

We're incredibly grateful to have over 3,200 amazing customers with just a 3% refund rate, and about 35% of our sales come from word-of-mouth referrals.

The product resonates with people, but we need someone who can help us build new features and scale Poppy AI to the next level!

Your goal will be to help us get to $1 million/month in the next six months.

The Role: The "Get Shit Done" Attitude

Imagine this scenario: You're looking at our codebase and you see a feature that could be 10x better with some tweaks. Or you have an idea for something completely new that our users would love.

What do you do next?

If you wait for someone to tell you exactly what to build, this job isn't for you.

If you immediately start sketching out the solution, figuring out how to implement it efficiently, and can't wait to ship it to our users – we want to talk to you.

❌ Who This Is NOT For:

• You're looking for "work-life balance" and want to clock out at 5pm
• You need a stable paycheck and aren't motivated by building something huge
• You get annoyed when you receive text messages at 2am
• You have a huge ego and think you know everything already
• You don't like learning new technology or trying new approaches
• You don't listen to feedback from team members
• You need constant direction and can't figure things out on your own
• You're looking for a chill environment where you can coast
• You complain when things get hard or plans change quickly
• You're not willing to put in the work now for massive rewards later

✅ Who This IS For:

• Working 12+ hours feels natural to you because you're obsessed with building great products
• Working 6-7 days a week is your normal mode when building something big
• You're constantly learning and adapting your approach
• You listen to the team but aren't afraid to push back with data
• You figure shit out without needing your hand held
• You thrive in high-pressure, fast-moving environments
• You see problems as opportunities to prove yourself
• You're someone who will work their face off to build the best product ever

Your Day-to-Day Will Look Like:

• Building new features that will 10X a customer's workflow in Poppy AI
• Building new features that will save users hundreds of hours of time
• Optimizing existing code to make Poppy AI faster and more reliable
• Fixing bugs before users even notice them
• Jumping on calls with users to understand their pain points
• Testing new ideas quickly to see what works
• Refactoring code to make it more maintainable as we scale
• Coming up with better solutions that will help creators, founders, or marketers
• Teaching the rest of our team about new technologies you discover

What Success Looks Like:

• Shipping features that users love and actually use
• Reducing Poppy AI's load times and improving performance
• Contributing to our codebase in a way that makes it better, not just bigger (I hate reading shitty code)
• Helping us hit $1M/month within six months

Who You Are (Specifically):

• You've built and shipped real products that people use
• You can look at a feature request and accurately estimate how long it will take to build
• You have a system for writing clean, maintainable code that others can understand
• You've turned a "that's impossible" into "I figured it out" by thinking of an angle nobody else tried
• You're the person who gets excited to share new technologies with the team
• You don't just code – you improve processes and teach others what you learn
• You're comfortable working 12-15 hour days when needed because you're obsessed with results
• You believe in both mental and physical strength – weak body, weak mind isn't your style

Requirements:

• Strong experience with React.js and Next.js
• Experience with AI SDKs and integrating with models like GPT-4, Claude, etc.
• Familiarity with Supabase, Firebase, or similar database technologies
• Experience with real-time collaboration tools like Live Blocks/PartyKit

• 1-on-1 personal development coaching from our C-suite to improve your non-coding skills)

The Poppy Team Culture (This Isn't Your Average Startup):

• We just flew the entire team to Thailand where we rented a massive 5-bedroom villa with a huge pool. We worked our asses off during the day and played volleyball in the pool during breaks.
• We're a team of savages who work 12-15 hours a day because we're obsessed with building something huge. We don't do the 4-hour workweek bullshit – we're building an empire.
• We travel together to epic locations. Next up: Italy, Mexico, and Colombia. You'll have the opportunity to join us in these locations to work and bond with the team.
• Physical training is a core part of our culture. We train Muay Thai and lift weights together. We believe in getting strong in your bank account, your muscles, and your mind.
• When we hit big milestones, we celebrate big. But most days, we're heads down working harder than any team you've ever seen.
• We're not just colleagues – we're a tribe of killers who push each other to be better every single day. The energy is contagious.

How to Apply:

Shoot us a Loom video (2-5 minutes, whatever you need) at jobs@getpoppy.ai

But listen – I don't just want to see your face talking about how great you are. SHOW ME YOUR WORK.

• Screen share your GitHub or projects you've built
• Demo EPIC projects you've built recently
• Share examples of how you've solved difficult technical challenges
• And tell us why should we hire you!

Basically, flex as hard as you can with REAL RESULTS. As beautiful as I'm sure you are, I care way more about seeing the code you've written and the products you've shipped.

Email your Loom video to jobs@getpoppy.ai with "Developer - [Your Name]" in the subject.

P.S. If you're still reading this, you're probably the kind of person who doesn't give up easily. We don't care about your college degree or fancy job titles - we care if you can build amazing features that our users love. If that's you, email us now!
