Founding Creative Engineer
Confirmed on the employer's own hiring board on Nov 13, 2026. First seen by Alion on Sep 6, 2026.
Growth = your taste * a fleet of video agents * lots of experiment.
We want someone who can own this.
About GooseWorks
Distribution is the hardest problem every company has. Getting a product in front of people, over and over, in a way that works.
Today that means an army of humans making creative, testing it, reading the numbers, and doing it again next week. It doesn't scale, and it's the single biggest tax on every consumer brand in the world.
We think that changes. The billion-dollar companies of the next decade will look different. They won't scale linearly with headcount - they'll be run by fleets of AI agents running growth.
Gooseworks is building self-improving AI agents that run growth for consumer brands - ads, UGC, organic - end to end.
It’s early - this is just a few months old, but we have very strong pull and are growing fast:
- 200+ paying users
- 30,000+ ad creatives generated by our users in the last 2 months
We're a YC company based in San Francisco, and we run the company on agent harnesses ourselves.
The role
You will own growth and distribution for GooseWorks.
Your job will be to build the systems to scale content, and having the creative taste and judgement to improve them.
More specifically, you will own:
Creator channels, AI-operated. You design the niche, the format, the hooks, the content, everything and use our AI creative agent to make organic social content at SCALE.
Our voice on X and LinkedIn. Not "brand content", value content and stories that get noticed.
The taste layer of our creative agent. You'll teach our creative agent what "good" means. It's the highest-leverage work at this company.
Launches. Narrative, assets, video, sequencing, day-of. End to end, from a blank page.
What we're looking for
Taste. You know what good content looks like. You have a great sense of design. You understand what people resonate with.
Proof-of-work: We need to see that you can make short-form that performs. IG, TikTok, YouTube, etc.
Technical AI video skills. You know what it takes to make great content using AI, and you’ve already been doing it.
You think in systems. We’re not looking for someone to write content. We’re looking for someone to build the thing that does.
You live inside AI agents. Claude Code, Codex, etc. You understand what a harness is and how to build one.
Strong preferences for:
- a technical background
- proven content creator muscle
This is a 0→1 job
That means:
High ownership: You'll own channels end-to-end, whatever that might mean. You’ll have autonomy and a high degree of creative control.
Lots of experimentation: You’ll try lots of things fast and double down on what works.
Messy problems, fast loops. Ship daily, execute is measured in hours, not weeks.
- You're part of the founding team.
You're probably not a fit if
- You’re used to working with large teams to get things done.
- You have never created awesome content.
- You have never built a content systems or agent skills / harnesses.
- You think AI-generated content can never be more than slop. (we’re looking for someone to prove the world wrong)
Show us your proof-of-work. We need to see samples of actual videos you’ve created.
Chat with the founder: We want to get to know you better
Take-home exercise: We want to see what you do with a problem we give you.
- On-site / work trial: Meet the team and work with us.
