About Wordware

Wordware is an IDE for building AI agents using natural language.

It looks and feels like Notion, but lets you design, test, and deploy AI systems in real time - without writing code.

Our mission is to bring structure and joy to human–AI collaboration.

We’re building a generational company that empowers the next billion knowledge workers to create with AI - not by writing code, but by expressing intent.

We’re backed by Spark Capital, Felicis, and Y Combinator ($30M seed round - the largest in YC history).

We work hard, move fast, and don’t take ourselves too seriously. It’s intense, but it’s also fun - at Wordware, you’ll do the best work of your life alongside people you genuinely like.

Full Stack Engineer

What You’ll Do

You’ll write and ship full-stack features end to end — from frontend UI, to backend logic, to the database and infra.

We’re still a small team, and the product is early — you won’t just be building features; you’ll help shape the trajectory of the company and the future of AI development.

Here are a few examples of the kinds of things you might work on:

• Build a real-time, multiplayer IDE for AI development — think Google Docs meets VSCode, powered by Y.js and TipTap.
• Extend our executor: a custom runtime that turns natural language into live, traceable agent workflows with pause/resume and retries.
• Design the “GitHub for AI” — an interface for exploring, remixing, and sharing agents and flows with versioning and collaborative editing.
• Talk to users, debug live issues, and ship fixes fast — often the same day.
• Make product calls in the moment when things are ambiguous, and help shape the platform we’re building.
