Summary

Neya is hiring an ambitious founding full-stack engineer to help build the world’s first AI super-neighbour. We're on a mission to build stronger, more connected local communities, by pioneering the development of AI to increase social connection.

Building new infrastructure that creates strong local communities is the biggest opportunity to increase human happiness, health, social mobility and wellbeing. It also creates the first marketplace in local services, a $100bn opportunity.

You’ll join as the first hire, working directly with experienced, repeat founders (CTO ex-Spotify/Gousto/Trainline, CEO with 8-figure exit) to design the architecture, ship core features, and set the engineering culture from day one. This is a hands-on role for someone who loves LLMs, complex systems and real-world impact. You’ll own the backend, agent architecture and data foundations that need to scale to millions of communities.

If you want meaningful equity, real responsibility, and the chance to build a product that genuinely improves everyday life for millions of people, we’d love to talk.
