Pagelove | https://pagelove.com | Founding Software Engineer | REMOTE | Full-time | $110k–$130k + early equity Pagelove collapses the modern web stack into its simplest form: no databases, no APIs, no application servers. Just HTML that works like an app, scales like a CDN, and is AI-native by design. The page becomes the application, API and persisted state. Humans and machines can read and update the same surface directly using CSS selectors over HTTP, rather than through separate HTML and API/MCP interfaces. With Pagelove, AI can finally build web applications without having to deal with the complexity of the full stack. We’re seed-stage and well-funded, hiring our first non-founder engineer. The codebase is Rust, with work including distributed storage, HTTP caching/ETags, CRDTs, parser/DOM performance, CI and production infrastructure. Our development process is heavily agentic: Claude Code and Codex do substantial implementation work, with humans focused on architecture, review and the hard problems. https://ats.pagelove.com/roles/founding-software-engineer/
