Getting a product in front of people, over and over, in a way that works.\nToday 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.\nWe 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.\nGooseworks is building self-improving AI agents that run growth for consumer brands - ads, UGC, organic - end to end.\nIt’s early - this is just a few months old, but we have very strong pull and are growing fast:\n200+ paying users\n30,000+ ad creatives generated by our users in the last 2 months\nWe're a YC company based in San Francisco, and we run the company on agent harnesses ourselves.\nThe role\nYou will own growth and distribution for GooseWorks.\nYour job will be to build the systems to scale content, and having the creative taste and judgement to improve them.\nMore specifically, you will own:\nCreator 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.\n\nOur voice on X and LinkedIn. Not \"brand content\", value content and stories that get noticed.\n\nThe taste layer of our creative agent. You'll teach our creative agent what \"good\" means. It's the highest-leverage work at this company.\n\nLaunches. Narrative, assets, video, sequencing, day-of. End to end, from a blank page.\n\nWhat we're looking for\nTaste. You know what good content looks like. You have a great sense of design. You understand what people resonate with.\n\nProof-of-work: We need to see that you can make short-form that performs. IG, TikTok, YouTube, etc.\n\nTechnical AI video skills. You know what it takes to make great content using AI, and you’ve already been doing it.\n\nYou think in systems. We’re not looking for someone to write content. We’re looking for someone to build the thing that does.\n\nYou live inside AI agents. Claude Code, Codex, etc. You understand what a harness is and how to build one.\n\nStrong preferences for:\na technical background\nproven content creator muscle\nThis is a 0→1 job\nThat means:\nHigh ownership: You'll own channels end-to-end, whatever that might mean. You’ll have autonomy and a high degree of creative control.\n\nLots of experimentation: You’ll try lots of things fast and double down on what works.\n\nMessy problems, fast loops. Ship daily, execute is measured in hours, not weeks.\n\n You're part of the founding team.\nYou're probably not a fit if\nYou’re used to working with large teams to get things done.\nYou have never created awesome content.\nYou have never built a content systems or agent skills / harnesses.\nYou think AI-generated content can never be more than slop. (we’re looking for someone to prove the world wrong)\nShow us your proof-of-work. We need to see samples of actual videos you’ve created.\n\nChat with the founder: We want to get to know you better\n\nTake-home exercise: We want to see what you do with a problem we give you.\n\nOn-site / work trial: Meet the team and work with us.","description_format":"text","description_chars":3366,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[{"name":"United States","iso":"US","kind":"country"}],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["AI Agents","Marketing & Sales AI"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-06T15:57:28Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":10,"band":"cold","label":"Long shot","p_open":1,"p_active":0.28,"p_room":0.35,"age_days":66,"expected_fill_days":23,"reasons":["conf:3","win:tail"],"computed_at":"2026-11-12T10:38:37Z"},"pay":{"stated_usd_annual":200000,"is_top_pay":true},"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/gooseworks-founding-creative-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/gooseworks-founding-creative-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-13T18:04:13Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":36139,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-14T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":20632},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=20632"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fgooseworks-founding-creative-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"free","price":{"credits":0,"usd":0},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fgooseworks-founding-creative-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.1,"usd":0.01},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fgooseworks-founding-creative-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/gooseworks-founding-creative-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fgooseworks-founding-creative-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":479596}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"gooseworks.ai","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":479596},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
