Original posting

In The Loop (intheloop.engineering) | Senior Consulting Engineers | Remote (US time zones) We’re a small group of senior engineers who help non‑technical AI founders take fragile MVPs to production‑ready systems. We come in as fractional founding engineers: review code, fix architecture, 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 actually used AI tools in their own side projects or daily workflow - Can handle a mix of architecture reviews, roadmap planning, and hands‑on implementation Details: - 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: market‑rate contracting, typically 100–200/hr depending on experience and scope Apply: Email humans@intheloop.engineering with “HN – Human” in the subject, and a brief note on your background, availability (hours/week), and the kind of work you enjoy most.
