I run a service company in the US: 20 years, about 30 employees. I'm not a developer, but earlier this year I built an AI system for my own business with Claude Code, and it's been live ever since, handling real customer inquiries, pricing jobs, and drafting replies for a human to approve. That proved the idea. Since June I've had a strong senior engineer working with me full time, and we've spent the months since building the foundation for the real product: the same thing, done properly, for other service businesses.<\/p>\n
Here's where I'm honest with you. The two of us are good at what we each do, and we're missing the person in the middle. I bring the business: customers, sales, and how service companies actually run. My engineer brings deep technical skill. What neither of us brings is startup experience: someone who has taken a small product from zero to paying customers and knows, from having done it, what matters at this stage and what can wait.<\/p>\n
That's the role.<\/p>\n
What you'll do:
– Set direction. Decide with me what we build next and in what order, and keep us from building things that don't need to exist yet.
– Write the specs. Short, clear, one page, something the engineer can pick up in the morning and ship. This is a core skill for the role, and we'll test it in the interview.
– Run the week. Plans, decisions, and a weekly summary to me in plain language: what was built, what wasn't, and why. Right now I rely on AI to understand what happened in my own project. That has to stop.
– Build. You close medium and smaller tasks yourself with Claude Code, Cursor, or similar. This is not a role for someone who only writes documents.
– Look outward. Follow how small businesses are actually adopting AI and what works, and bring that back as ideas we can use.
– Join customer calls with me when it helps to have the technical side in the room.<\/p>\n
Who I'm looking for:
– You've been part of an early-stage product that reached paying customers, in a team small enough to count on one hand. You know what "too early for that" looks like.
– You build with AI first. Claude Code, Cursor, or similar are your daily tools, and you have real opinions about where they help and where they create work.
– Solid enough with Node.js\/TypeScript, Postgres, GitHub and one cloud platform to read our code, review a pull request, and ship a task yourself.
– You write and speak clearly. You can explain a technical trade-off to a business owner in a minute, and write a spec a developer doesn't have to guess at.
– You simplify. You're the person who asks "do we need this?" before "how do we build this?"
– Ukrainian or Russian is a plus (the engineer is in Kyiv), not a requirement.<\/p>\n
Not a fit if
– You want to manage people and not touch code.
– You need a big team and a mature product to feel comfortable.<\/p>\n
Pay and terms
– $2,5004,000 per month full time, or pro-rated for 1520 hours a week. Paid through Wise. I cover software and AI tokens.
– We start with a short call, then a small paid task from our real backlog: write the one-page spec and tell me what you'd cut. Then a paid two-week trial with one deliverable: your honest read of where the product stands and what we should do in the next month. If that goes well, a contract.<\/p>\n
How to apply<\/p>\n
Send me three things, in any format:
1. One early-stage product you worked on: what it was, how small the team was, whether it reached paying customers, and what you'd do differently now.
2. A spec you wrote (or a rewritten version of one, if the original is confidential).
3. Your rate, full-time and part-time.<\/p>\n
I read every serious application myself. No agencies, no recruiters.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
