Prompt Engineer

• This is a full-time, in-person role based in San Francisco (Presidio) - we work from the office 5 days a week.

• We require US work authorisation, but are open to O-1 visa sponsorship for truly exceptional candidates.

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.

Prompt engineer @ Wordware

We need someone who can show the one billion professionals that coding in plain English is the future of AI development.

We're creating a new programming paradigm based on natural language, but explaining why this matters is hard. we need someone who can bridge the gap between traditional developers and the next wave of AI builders - someone who can both code a complex demo and explain it in simple, engaging language.

We're not just talking to traditional developers. we're reaching the next billion people who will be "coding" in plain english - teachers, designers, product managers, founders, and domain experts of all kinds. You'll be at the forefront of this revolution, showing them what's possible.

What You'll Do:

There are two equal areas of focus that you'll be fundamental in shaping:

1. Building

Creating natural language AI applications using Wordware. We're assembling a library of agents that anyone can use, extend, or adapt into their daily life and work.

This means you'll be identifying real-world problems and solving them using AI. Your applications will be used by hundreds of thousands of professionals.

2. Sharing

Engaging with the Wordware community. This means creating technical content around your applications, producing implementation tutorials, and sharing best practices.

You'll be working closely with our users, fostering conversation and helping the world build their own applications with Wordware.

Who You Are

• You have used Wordware before. Seriously. (If not, go build something and then come back)

• You have real experience with LLMs. You engineer prompts like a pro

• You know how to explain complex ideas in a way that is easy to understand

• You are charismatic. You are comfortable on calls, camera, and stage

• You can make complicated demos seem simple

• You actually enjoy talking to people and can speak to both engineers and domain experts in a wide range of fields

• You can look at a problem that 10 people have already seen and come up with a completely novel solution!

• You are somewhat technical. You don't need to be a professional developer, but you do need to know the basic principles of coding

Bonus (but not required)

• You have previous Developer Relations experience

• You're already using AI to automate things you used to do manually

• You've created and shared content with high engagement. Maybe you have a Substack or a YouTube channel

• You have experience building successful communities

• You have experience conducting user interviews and user research

The Process

If this sounds like a great fit for you, submit your resume and answer a few short questions

1. Send us a 1 minute Loom

Submit your resume and answer a few short attached questions. If it looks like a fit, we’ll invite you to send a 1-minute Loom video: tell us who you are and why you want to join Wordware.

1. Have a 15-minute intro call

Quick check to align on location, motivation, and logistics. If it’s a go, we move fast from here.

1. Do a 60-minute technical interview

You’ll build a Wordware flow, deploy it and discuss it

- 40 mins building and problem solving in the Wordware Editor

- 20 mins talking about/debugging existing Wordware Applications in a simple and engaging way

1. Final conversation

Quick vibe check, answer your questions, and scope out the work trial

1. Work Trial

Paid trial to work on a real project in person with us — usually a few days to two weeks (flexible to do what works for you). See how we work and whether this feels like the right fit on both sides.
