Application Developer (AI-Native)

The role

Gensync is a Denver-based AI services and platform company. We're building the Gensync platform — software for running a business, with AI built into the core of how the work actually gets done. And we build it the same way we want it used: agentic coding tools aren't a side feature of our process, they're the center of it. We're looking for a developer who works like that too — someone who runs their whole workflow through tools like Claude Code and gets real throughput from it, while keeping the architecture coherent enough that it still makes sense six months from now.

You'd work directly with the founder, and you'd be our first and only dedicated developer — with real room for that to grow into something bigger over time. You'll own features end to end.

What this role isn't

This isn't a job where "familiarity with AI tools" is a nice line on your résumé. If your actual workflow is hand-writing everything and occasionally asking a chatbot for a snippet, this isn't the fit. It's also not a pure code-generation role — we're not looking for someone who points an agent at a problem and ships whatever comes out. The hard part, and the part we're hiring for, is doing both: moving at AI speed and having the judgment to keep the codebase from turning into something nobody can reason about.

What you'll actually do

First 30 / 60 / 90 days

• 30: Up and shipping. You've landed real features in the platform and you understand the stack and the existing patterns.
• 60: Owning slices independently. You're making architecture calls and the founder trusts the direction without close review.
• 90: You're a force multiplier on the build — velocity is visibly higher than it was solo, and the codebase is healthier, not messier, for it.

Schedule and structure

• Hours: ~20 hours/week to start, hourly.
• Employment type: Contractor (1099).
• Location: Remote-friendly within the US — Denver-area hybrid preferred. Mountain Time anchor.

Compensation

This is an hourly role — $60–75/hour, depending on experience. No equity at this stage. We're an early-stage company being deliberate with spend, optimizing for someone genuinely AI-fluent and driven over the longest résumé, and pricing accordingly. What you get instead of a big-company package is unusual scope: you'd own meaningful parts of a core product from the start and shape how it gets built.

What you need to have

Nice to have

• A good eye for UI.
• Strong testing instincts.
• Auth implementation experience (Better Auth a plus).
• Experience in an early-stage / low-oversight environment.

Why Gensync

• You'll work directly with the founder on the core product — no layers, real ownership.
• We're AI-native for real, so your strongest skill is the one we value most.
• Early enough that the patterns you set stick.
• The consulting side of the business funds the build, so the platform isn't racing a runway cliff.
