Engineer

This is written by <GitHubMention username="yujonglee" name="Yujong" />, who you'll be directly working with.

Why are we hiring?

Char is product-led. Engineering execution is our bottleneck. We need someone to own responsibility for a certain part of the codebase and act as a first-line reviewer.

What are we expecting?

We need someone who:

• Can take full responsibility for a certain part of the codebase.
• Can define a problem & a solution without relying on others.

How to apply?

1. Read the code and browse existing issues in the repository.
2. Feel free to tag <GitHubMention username="yujonglee" name="Yujong" /> if you want to discuss something.
3. Propose a problem/solution through an issue, comment, or pull request.
4. Send us an email that references step 3. We are not really looking for a resume. Something like GH account where I can see your past work and interests would be enough.

Who will be a good fit?

We are not judging anything, but we just want to find the best fit for the role.

• You are obsessed with Claude code hype like Ralph loop
• You are optimized for token consumption and code generation.
• You are looking for other people to teach you and tell you what to do. </Collapsible>
