Open role

Founding Engineer · The Sacred Act

Help me build the meditation app I'd actually want to use, from iOS to backend to AI prompting.

Full-time·Remote · US-aligned hours·Competitive base + meaningful equity·Posted May 13, 2026

Who I'm looking for

Someone who has shipped real products on small teams, who cares about how an app feels in the hand, and who would rather build one thing slowly and well than ten things fast and forgotten.

You don’t need ten years of experience. You need taste, calm, and the kind of seriousness that doesn’t need an audience to maintain.

What you'd work on

  • The iOS app (SwiftUI + a tiny native bridge layer)
  • The Bun + Hono backend that wraps AI meditation generation
  • The contemplative prompt engineering itself — the AI is the practice's voice; we treat it as a discipline
  • Whatever needs building. We’re small. Boundaries between “product” and “engineering” are mostly fictional here.

What I’ll bring

  • A product I’ve been building with care for a year
  • Funding to make this a real role
  • A practice — I sit every day, I read the source material, and the app is shaped by it
  • Honest taste — I’ll tell you when I think a direction is wrong, and I’ll want the same from you

What I won’t do

  • Run a 9-to-5 with mandatory standups
  • Build for engagement metrics
  • Pretend the work matters more or less than it does

If this sounds like the kind of room you want to be in, send an application.
