About RankWit
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.
- €300k raised from angel investors and the Nana Bianca Hubble program
- €100k in sales in the first two months
- Raising a €2M round by the end of 2026
The role
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.
Why join
- 1% equity in a company that already sells and is raising its next round.
- Real ownership. Once the direction is set, everything down to production is yours: specs, code, releases, pipelines and infrastructure.
- 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.
- No layers. You work directly with the founders, decisions take hours, not weeks.
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. Escalate only what changes scope or costs money.
- Push back, with a reason, when something doesn't add up
