Job description

**More than 10,000 businesses are running AI agents on Chatbase. We started with self-serve, and now we're moving upmarket and building our sales team. Small team, huge surface area: you'll ship AI features our customers use within days of joining.** ## About Chatbase Chatbase is the AI agent platform that 10,000+ businesses use to talk to their customers, from fast-growing startups to global brands like Dolby, Roche, Pearson, Bridgestone and Chuck E. Cheese. Our agents resolve millions of conversations across support, sales and operations. We launched in 2023 and we're profitable. ## Why now This is the moment. The product is working, customers keep finding new ways to use it, and we're growing fast. Most of our biggest growth levers haven't been pulled yet. The people who join now will build the teams, playbooks and products that make Chatbase many times bigger than it is today, and they'll share in that upside. → **Top-of-market pay, plus equity.** We pay at the top end of the market, and everyone gets equity in a profitable company that's growing fast. → **Ownership from day one.** Small team, huge surface area. You'll own big outcomes and work directly with our CEO. → **Early-stage upside.** It's still early enough to get a lot of the upside, in a company that's already profitable. ## The role You'll join our engineering team in Egypt and build product and platform features across the stack, end to end. ## What you'll own → Product and platform work across our stack: TypeScript, Next.js, Postgres and Supabase, and LLMs from every major provider. → Features end to end, from design to production to the customer conversation. → Performance, reliability and quality at the scale of millions of conversations. ## You might be a fit if → 2+ years building and shipping production software. → Strong problem-solving and coding fundamentals. → You move fast and care about quality. ## How we work → **High ownership, high output.** Everyone owns outcomes end to end. We hire people who are precise, fast and great at unblocking themselves. → **Speed is a habit.** We decide fast, ship fast and fix fast. → **Critical feedback is a gift.** We give it directly and take it without ego. It's how we get better. → **Customer-obsessed.** We talk to our customers constantly and relentlessly deliver value to them. ## What it takes We move fast and hold a high bar. If you want the steepest learning curve of your career, a lot of ownership and a stake in the outcome, you'll fit right in. ## Pay & logistics → Pay at the top of the market in Egypt. → Equity. → Cairo, Egypt. → This posting is for an existing vacancy. → We don't use AI to screen, assess or select applicants. A person on our team reviews every application. ## How we hire We move fast. 1. A technical interview with one of our engineers. 2. A practical exercise based on real work you'd do here. 3. 30 minutes with Yasser Elsaid, our CEO. ## A note from Yasser We've built Chatbase with a small team, and it's working: 10,000+ businesses rely on it, and they keep finding new ways to use it. What we do in the next year decides how big this gets. The people who join now will own a piece of it and be paid well for it. If that's what you've been looking for, I'd love to meet you.
