this is an incredibly stressful time to be alive. i think i'm moderately ambitious and so i grind at my early stage startup and enjoy the work most days. but sometimes i also think it'd be nice to just have a bakery in a middle-sized town somewhere without thinking too much about politics. and just living my life with its ups and downs, but without the daily / hourly emergencies that come with being on the internet nowadays.

We recently raised series A and are hiring driven engineers who have strong product sense, leverage AI effectively, communicate well, and want to build technically interesting products that benefit the everyday person.

You'll join as the lead product engineer on greenfield projects that are scoped to take us from 1-100. We're building a verticalized factory for claims. ex:

* agentic legal case origination agent - responsible for validating things like privacy violations, research existing case law to find new cases for us to operationalize

* real-time claims processing - claim quality / fraud detection at scale, harnessing regulatory requirements for novel approaches

and much much more

Chariot Claims is a platform that helps everyday people find, file, and manage legal claims without any hassle. We proactively identify companies accused of breaking the law and violating consumer rights, and fight so they can get the compensation they may be entitled to. We partner with law firms to execute on legal proceedings.

Our team is fully remote, with hubs in Berlin, NY, DC, and (soon) SF. Onsites for the team in the US every ~2 months, and curated offsites in a beautiful location 2-4 times a year with your +1.

obsidian: great for LLMs (local markdown files), bad for collaboration (no multiplayer features like multi editor, comments)

notion: not great for LLMs (network round trips, block-based editing), great for collaboration

if that is what that means, i would actually say keep improving... since ai is new and there's a lot of mixed feelings about it, it's understandable that sentiment leaks into ai-enabled products.

that being said, there are /a lot/ of ai chatbot product integrations that are actual dogwater and we should not do them. like the stupid amazon integration that is forced upon me that took up like 30% of my screen and straight up just was worthless.

i think the best ai consumer facing workflows you dont actually directly interface with ai via what is expected to be a human interface like chat - it should do processing in the backend, or it supports a human agent.

all content (even those who make legitimate content, if they intend on making a living on content) is just ads packaged in fancy UGC. we've reached a point of no return for ads and user targeting

in some orgs it was a good excuse to cut the underperformers. these folks wouldnt deliver 10x value with AI, they would either deliver 0x or -10x (with contributions that the just say no engineer would have normally said no to)

unless you mean that the quality of domestic workers is declining, which i'd agree in most things (tho for some things like software i think still has a chance)

4b / 5 for the camera stuff.

i don’t think using these boards for just compute makes a lot of sense unless it’s for toy stuff like an ssh shell or pihole
