WorkHero https://workhero.pro | Senior SWE, AI Automation Engr, Senior PM | REMOTE (US+INTL for eng, US for product & automations)
WorkHero is building the AI-powered back office for the skilled trades, starting with HVAC. Small contractors spend their nights on rebates, permits, equipment registrations, billing, and collections. We pair dedicated office managers with AI agents that take this work over end to end. We are expanding our product and engineering organization - looking for talented engineers, product managers, and builders who are excited to rethink the back office for small businesses!
- Senior Software Engineer, AI Full Stack: ship AI-native React experiences and the Node services and agent workflows behind them. https://www.workhero.pro/careers?ashby_jid=89aac721-3aa3-4ae...
- Senior Software Engineer, Voice AI & Data Infrastructure: own our real-time voice agents and data pipelines https://www.workhero.pro/careers?ashby_jid=8f45a29d-bdae-457...
- AI Automation Engineer: turn the workflows of small HVAC businesses into AI-powered automations https://www.workhero.pro/careers?ashby_jid=2b76354a-1012-476...
- Senior Product Manager, AI Agents: own the agents at the core of the product end to end, from how their prompts, tools, and knowledge cohere into one experience through the evals that prove they accomplish the user's goal. https://www.workhero.pro/careers?ashby_jid=5fca94a0-7705-42f...
All roles require working hours that overlap with 11am-3pm ET.

I’ve had decent luck with Termius because it gives you a row of keyboard shortcuts above the usual keyboard. Still cramped, but it works.
Tmux is annoying with a mobile keyboard, so I vibe coded a little mobile-friendly wrapper https://github.com/zakandrewking/pocketbot
Someone is going to solve this with a non-buggy app, but it really needs to have all the features of Claude code. Everyone is a power user in this segment

The other day I asked chatgpt (o3) to help me compare a bunch of task orchestration systems and arrange them according to some variables I care about (popularity, feature richness, durability, whether can be self-hosted, etc.). I ended up using https://www.inngest.com/ -- which was new to me -- and that single tool sped up my particular task by at least 10x for the week. That was a one-off project, so it won't generalize in a clean way, but I keep finding individual cases where the particular strengths of LLMs can save me a whole bunch of time. (another example: creating and evaluating responses to technical interview questions). I don't expect that these are easy to quantify, but they are significant.
This is not to disagree with the OP, but to point out that, even for engineers, the speedups might not appear where you expect. [EDIT I see like 4 other comments making the same point :)]

I'm impressed by the product design here. A non-ai-expert could find this mode extremely valuable, and all openai had to do was tinker with the prompt and add a nice button (relatedly, you could have had this all along by prompting the model yourself). Sure, it's easy for competitors to copy, but still a nice little addition.

My coding flow today involves a lot of asking an LLM to generate code (blue team) and then me code reviewing, rewriting, and making it scalable (red team?). The analogy breaks down, because I'm providing the safety and correctness; LLMs are offering a head start.
I'm optimistic about AI-powered infra & monitoring tools. When I have a long dump of system logs that I don't understand, LLMs help immensely. But then it's my job to finalize the analysis and make sure whatever debugging comes next is a good use of time. So not quite red team/blue team in that case either.

This reminds me of one of my favorite books from a few decades ago: Websites that Suck http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/ That might have been what turned me on to web design, and I'm still trying to make things that don't suck

I remember bookmarking gwern's GPT-3 Creative Fiction [https://gwern.net/gpt-3] sometime in late 2020. It's a labyrinthine article that was a bit confusing to work through: What here is written by a human? Is a neural network really writing poetry? Whatever you think about the impacts of LLM into the future (regarding AGI, etc), it's jarring to look back just five years. We each have a sense of what we expect to experience when we interact with digital computers, and the envelope of possible experiences has simply exploded.

Sorry you didn’t hear back! We aren’t able to reply to all the applications we get. This is an updated job description for the same opening.
