AI-Accelerated Full-Stack Developer

Please note, when you apply for this job, you will be sent a challenge you must complete.

Are you a builder, problem-solver, and AI-accelerated developer who loves turning big ideas into real, scalable products?

I’m Max Hertan—a serial entrepreneur & efficiency-obsessed builder living in LA. I’ve taken companies from zero to $20M/year, hit $1M ARR in under 6 months multiple times, and now I’m building a venture studio to launch software startups. I’m looking for an exceptional Full-Stack Developer to join me in incubating a series of software companies until we achieve Product-Market Fit (PMF) and scale them to greatness.

This role is perfect for someone who thrives in autonomy, enjoys rapid iteration, and can leverage AI tools to code faster and smarter. If you’re ready to solve problems, ship products, and work with a founder who’s scaled multiple companies to 8- and 9-figure success, let’s talk.

What You’ll Do:

• Work directly with me to build and validate new software products across industries.
• Design, develop, and deploy both front-end and back-end systems.
• Use cutting-edge AI tools (e.g., Bolt.new, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT) to ship clean, high-quality code 5x faster.
• Tackle complex technical challenges and transform scrappy MVPs into polished, scalable platforms.
• Rapidly iterate based on real user feedback to achieve PMF.
• Be part of a small, ambitious team that values speed, ownership, and creativity.

About Me & Why This Is Exciting:

I’ve spent the last decade building and scaling companies:

• Megaphone (SOLD): Scaled from $0 to $20M/year before acquisition in 2023.
• Argie: Hit $1M/month revenue in just 7 months.
• Snowball: A YouTube strategy agency scaling fast.
• Vids: Hit $1M+ ARR within 6 months.
• Alto (SOLD): Reached $1M ARR in 6 months.

I’m obsessed with scaling ideas into game-changing businesses and empowering ambitious developers to do their best work. This is your chance to work side-by-side with a proven entrepreneur, building startups that solve real problems and have the potential to be 9- to 10-figure companies.

What I’m Looking For:

• Full-Stack Expertise: You’re fluent in front-end (React, Vue, etc.) and back-end (Node.js, Python, Go, or similar) development.
• Problem Solver: You enjoy solving hard problems with creative, simple solutions.
• AI-First Mindset: You embrace AI tools to increase speed and efficiency.
• Builder’s DNA: You love shipping fast, iterating, and seeing real user impact.
• Startup Mentality: You’re scrappy, proactive, and thrive with ownership.
• Scalable Thinking: You write modular, high-quality code that can scale as we grow.

Why This Role Is Unique:

• Build Multiple Startups: You won’t be stuck on one product—you’ll help create and scale multiple software companies.
• Work with a Proven Founder: I’ve built and exited companies, including one scaling to $20M/year. I know how to find PMF and grow winners.
• AI-Driven Development: Work smarter and faster using the latest AI tools.
• Massive Growth Potential: You’ll be part of the team from day one—with equity upside if we hit PMF.
• End-to-End Impact: Have full ownership of the technical process, from MVP to scale.
• Learn & Build with Me: I’m not just your boss—I’m your teammate. You’ll learn directly from my years of entrepreneurial success.

The Perks:

• Competitive salary with strong performance-based bonuses.
• Work directly with me—a serial entrepreneur passionate about building impactful companies.
• Remote-first with flexible hours (results matter more than the clock).
• Access to cutting-edge AI tools and resources to accelerate your work.
• Be part of a fast-moving, ambitious team obsessed with building great things.

Let’s build something great together.

PS: This role isn’t for everyone. It’s for the ambitious builders—the ones who want to ship products, solve hard problems, and work with a founder who knows how to scale startups to success. If that’s you, let’s talk.
