In The Loop (intheloop.engineering)

We’re a small group of senior engineers who help non-technical AI founders take fragile MVPs to production-ready systems. Fractional founding engineers: review code, fix architecture, and ship. Hiring Senior Consulting Engineers (part-time/contract). Looking for engineers who enjoy advising non-technical founders, are comfortable reviewing AI-generated code (Next.js, TypeScript, Python, major cloud providers), have shipped production systems end-to-end and can explain technical trade-offs to non-engineers, have used AI tools in their own side projects or daily workflow, and can handle a mix of architecture reviews, roadmap planning, and hands-on implementation. Part-time/contract to start (typical 5–20 hours/week, flexible). Fully remote with meaningful overlap with US daytime. Work directly with early-stage AI founders on short, high-leverage projects. Compensation is market-rate contracting, typically 100–200/hr depending on experience and scope. Apply via email humans@intheloop.engineering with subject “HN – Human” and a brief note on your background, availability (hours/week), and the kind of work you enjoy most.
