About our Company
We’re a small team of engineers, creatives, and researchers building new kinds of interactive experiences powered by AI. We’re launching The Interface: a platform for expressive, real-time characters that people can talk to and explore shared worlds alongside. It’s a mix of entertainment and social.
We just wrapped up YC (S25) and raised a sizeable seed round from top investors. Max (CEO) studied MechE at MIT, previously led AI initiatives at McKinsey; Peyton (CTO) is an MIT CS grad and former quant at Citadel. We’re setting up in NYC — a hacker house-style space — and moving quickly toward launch.
We're looking for someone to lead community and early growth efforts — working directly with the founders to bring early users in, shape how people interact, and help build momentum around the product.
You’ll be the first hire focused on growth and community. That means working across Discord, TikTok, Reddit, and other channels to build hype, run experiments, engage with users, and help define what growth looks like for the company. This role is creative, fast-moving, and very hands-on.
- Run experiments to acquire and retain early users
- Build and manage our community on Discord, Reddit, and TikTok
- Launch and manage characters — including release strategy, and rollout
- Host community events (AMAs, livestreams, townhalls)
- Work closely with product and founders to shape roadmap based on user feedback
- Identify new growth channels (partnerships, content, UGC, etc.)
- Own early growth metrics and help define what success looks like
- Have 1–4 years experience in community, growth, or creator-focused roles
- Have run community or creator programs (Discords, TikToks, YouTube, etc.)
- Are comfortable running scrappy experiments and adjusting quickly
- Are highly online — you get internet culture and know what resonates
- Enjoy working closely with product and engineering teams
- Prefer fast-paced, ambiguous environments with lots of ownership
Why Join Us
- You’ll be one of the first 5 team members
- You’ll work directly with the founders (MIT backgrounds, bias to action)
- We just raised a sizeable seed round and are backed by top investors
- We’re building an entertainment product and we want to have fun with it
- You'll have real influence over what we build, how we grow, and who we bring in
- You enjoy building something that’s never been done before
