About Key AI
Key AI is an AI-native professional intelligence platform. Think warm introductions, elite communities, and an AI agent (Kai) that actually works — for the kind of people who've built, led, and invested in the companies you've heard of. We're growing fast, shipping constantly, and building infrastructure that scales.
What you'll actually do
Own features end-to-end — from product intuition through design, implementation, and the metrics that prove it worked
Sit with users, understand their problems, and translate that directly into what you build
Debug infra at 2AM when it matters, then walk a user through a new feature the next morning
Work directly with Kush and Chris (the co-founders) on the hardest, most important problems
Raise the bar for the team — mentor, review, and help the people around you win
Who we're looking for
You've shipped products at scale inside a startup, not just inside a big company
You think in systems but obsess over the details that make a product feel great
You're as comfortable talking to users as you are debugging infrastructure
You wear multiple hats not because you have to, but because you want to
You have an eye for what great software feels like, not just what it does
You want to unlock the potential of the people around you
We're full-stack, AI-native, and moving fast. You should be fluent across the stack and have opinions about how to build things well — we care more about taste and track record than any specific language or framework.
This is not a ticket-taker role. No PM is handing you specs. You'll figure out what to build, build it well, and own the outcome after it ships.
Early team, meaningful equity
