About Wordware

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

Bonus (but not required)

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
