RankWit is the AI search visibility platform built for travel. It monitors how ChatGPT, Perplexity, Gemini, Claude and Grok answer the questions travelers actually ask, and measures how often a hotel or a destination shows up in those answers compared to its competitors. It then explains why it makes the cut or gets left out, turns that diagnosis into a prioritized list of actions, and produces the content that fills the gaps.
~€100k in sales in the first two months
~ We're looking for the first engineer hire who's going to work alongside the CTO, with the goal to own areas and work autonomously. You are going to start from the direction and the customer feedback, turn them into spec and ship it end to end.
1% equity in a company that already sells and is raising its next round.
~ A codebase built for AI-assisted work. Written rules, docs next to every module, context on Linear: you and Claude Code are productive from day one.
~ A concrete market. Travel and AI search, with customers already paying.
~ What you'll own
Turn a product direction or a vague need ("clients want to know when traffic drops") into a spec: problem, happy path, edge cases, what's out of scope.
Decide trade-offs on your own and write down the why. Push back, with a reason, when something doesn't add up.
Measure what you shipped: is it used, did it fix the problem, what comes next.
Own features from database to UI: Python (FastAPI, Celery), PostgreSQL, Next.js.
Keep the codebase simple and the standards high: tests on real endpoints, clean lint, docs next to the code.
Run the data pipelines: our job engine, its runs, failures and recoveries.
Own infrastructure and releases: AWS, Docker, Terraform, zero-downtime deploys.
1+ year of daily AI-assisted coding (Claude Code). You know where it shines and where it lies.
