We’re hiring: 2 open roles

Careers

Build the communication platform for people who close in chat

Cereal Milk is hiring two founding roles. We build a premium native Mac app that puts WhatsApp, LinkedIn, and Gmail in one window and syncs the conversations its users choose to Attio or Affinity. Born in venture capital, deployed anywhere deals live in chat. Both roles are remote and report to the founder.

Why Cereal Milk

A small team, a live product, an open body of work

Cereal Milk grew out of an engineering studio that shipped 62 projects for 68 venture funds, so the product was built inside the exact workflows it sells into. Funds are deployed by hand and the methods ship in the open. You'd be one of the first hires: real scope from day one, a direct line to the founder, and your name on the work.

Remote and async

We're distributed and write things down. Clear writing is a first-class skill here, not a nice-to-have.

Customer data is sacred

The app sits beside live pipelines worth real money. Privacy by architecture, dry runs, and no silent failures are the standard, not the exception.

We publish

The methods, the docs, and the reusable parts ship in the open. Your name goes on the work.

AI in the loop, humans on the hook

We use Claude and agents heavily, but a person signs off on anything that touches a customer's data.

Open roles

Two founding roles

Forward-Deployed Agentic Engineer

Remote · Worldwide

Full-time · Founding role

Sit with a venture fund and make its Cereal Milk deployment succeed: the pilot setup, the CRM mapping, the automations around it, and the product improvements each rollout demands.

Apply for this role

What you’ll do

  • Run supported paid pilots: workspace setup, Attio and Affinity mapping, team onboarding.
  • Build the integration and automation edges each fund needs, and generalize the good ones into the product.
  • Work across the stack: Swift on the Mac app's edges, TypeScript on the backend, the Claude API, MCP, and the Attio, Affinity, and Stripe APIs.
  • Write the spec and the safety rails before anything touches a customer's live CRM.

You might be a fit if you

  • You've shipped production software with LLMs in the loop, not demos.
  • You're comfortable owning a customer relationship, not just a codebase.
  • You treat other people's live data as sacred, and reach for dry runs and rollback trails by instinct.
  • Bonus: you've worked in or around venture capital, or lived inside a CRM.

Developer Advocate (Docs & Open Source)

Remote · Worldwide

Full-time · Founding role

Own Cereal Milk's open surface area: the documentation, the Field Notes, the open-source tools, the videos. This is the content engine that brings funds to the product, and you'd run it.

Apply for this role

What you’ll do

  • Turn real deployments into clear, teachable documentation a non-engineer partner at a fund can actually follow.
  • Ship small open-source tools that make the docs runnable.
  • Write the Field Notes and script the videos that put Cereal Milk in front of funds.
  • Instrument what works: you'll live in the analytics and the AI-search audits and tell us what to build next.

You might be a fit if you

  • You write clearly enough to teach a fund partner something technical without dumbing it down.
  • You can read and ship code. You don't need an engineer to publish a working example.
  • You have a portfolio of technical writing, developer relations, or open-source work.
  • Bonus: you know Attio, Affinity, Claude, or the VC workflow firsthand.

How to apply

Send a note, not a cover letter

Email Daniel with which role fits you and one thing you've shipped that you're proud of: a repo, a piece of writing, an automation, anything real. The founder reads every one and replies personally.
