About GladeKit

GladeKit is transforming the way game developers build games. We're building AI agents that live directly in game engines, understand full project context, and help developers ship games faster. Our organization is very flat, and we obsess over talent to an unusual degree. As a founding engineer, you'll have significant equity and the opportunity to shape the company's future.

Applying

Our interview process is straightforward: a technical screen, followed by a few conversations with the founders and team. We move fast and value clear communication. We're looking for someone who's excited about building something from scratch and making a huge impact.
