AGI Ready

About AGI Ready

We're an AI-native development studio. We don't build "websites" — we build agents, automations, and custom products for clients who need real software shipped fast. Our stack is modern (Next.js, TypeScript, Claude Code), our pace is high, and our philosophy is simple: 60% with AI beats 0% without.

We're a small team scaling deliberately. This is an early hire, which means real ownership, real impact, and a front-row seat to building the agency from the inside.

The Role

You'll be a core builder. That means owning features end-to-end — from understanding what the client needs, to architecting it, to shipping production code, to fixing it when it breaks. You won't be handed perfect tickets. You'll be handed problems, and you'll be trusted to solve them.

You'll work primarily with AI coding tools (Claude Code, Codex) as your daily drivers. We're looking for someone who has moved past "AI writes my code for me" and into vibe engineering — using AI as a thought partner and force multiplier while still owning architecture, judgment, and quality.

What You'll Do

• Build and ship full-stack features using Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js
• Architect and integrate APIs (third-party services, AI APIs, webhooks, async workflows)
• Use Claude Code and Codex to move fast without sacrificing quality
• Debug, deploy, and own production — not just write code and walk away
• Break complex problems into smaller, manageable pieces and ship iteratively
• Work directly with the founder and a tight team on multiple client products

What We're Looking For

Must-haves

• 1+ year of hands-on experience at a real product startup (shipping, not just learning)
• Strong with Next.js, TypeScript, and Node.js
• Comfortable using Claude Code and Codex as primary development tools
• Real vibe engineering experience — you direct AI, you don't just copy-paste from it
• Solid grasp of API integrations, webhooks, and async processing
• Can debug AI-generated codebases and take them to production

Preferred

• 3–5 years of product/startup experience
• Experience with managed services (Supabase, Clerk, etc.) over building everything from scratch
• Exposure to building agents or AI workflows (MCP, OpenAI APIs, agentic frameworks)

Who Thrives Here

We hire for trajectory, not credentials. The people who do well at AGI Ready tend to be:

• Frugal — you hack solutions together with what's available instead of waiting for perfect conditions
• Transformation-driven — show us your last two years, not your degree. We care where you've come from and how fast you climb
• Self-driven builders — you've taught yourself skills nobody handed you, and you ship things because you can't help it
• Assembly-minded — your first instinct is "who's already solved this?" not "let me build it from scratch"
• In it for the long run — we're looking for people to grow with, not churn through
