When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote Hits and go to the job application page for that company outside this site.

Hi, my name is Gabriel and I'm the co-founder of [Y/n](https://apps.apple.com/us/app/y-n/id6744907251).
Y/n is an app where you play the main character in a story written for you. Be the new kid at a boarding school and get everyone to fall for you, or plan a jailbreak with Sherlock Holmes. Every text you send changes the plot and how characters feel about you, so no two playthroughs are the same.
Our mission at Y/n is to create the most entertaining storyteller in the world, and give it to everyone.
### Why you should join us
* People love Y/n:
* Users spend on average 3+ hours playing Y/n everyday
* We are top #10 books apps in the world (reached #4 app in the App Store last month), even though we just launched
* We raised $14M from top VCs
* We work on interesting technical problems:
* We serve ~3T tokens (~300M user messages, growing 40% MoM) per month with a team of 4
* We manage a LOT of compute!
* Training an AI to be fun and creative is incredibly interesting
* The founders + team are fun to work with:
* My co-founder Eric trained the first-ever image editing AI in the world
* Before Y/n, I was the founding designer and one of the first employees at Substack, where I learned a lot about product and media
* Together, we previously co-founded Can of Soup, a hit AI image sharing app, which you can read about in the [New York Times](https://www.nytimes.com/2023/09/27/technology/ai-images-social-media-sharing.html)
### Some examples of what you would do
You'd be one of our first engineers, with real ownership across the product and the infrastructure. In practice that could mean:
* Building our personalized recommendation system infrastructure
* Building features in our mobile and web application
The role will adapt and grow as we do, so don't worry if you haven't worked on recommender systems or ML yet!
### What we're looking for
* You've built actual infrastructure (not just pushed to Vercel)
* You've worked at a startup or built meaningful side projects
* Optional: you're into fandom, reading, games, or fanfiction!
* You're willing to relocate to San Francisco. If you do not have US work authorization, we can help with that
