Founding Product Engineer at cubic
Join an elite team of four ex-founders building the world's first AI-native replacement for GitHub. Fresh off a high-profile seed round from Sequoia India and Vercel execs, this startup is growing 50% MoM and already powers the workflows of top engineering teams like n8n and the Linux Foundation.
