Neander

Neander is building the next-generation development environment for modern teams — a multiplayer, AI-native IDE where business and engineering teams build software together. We believe software creation shouldn’t be a single-player activity. Today, ideas move from business → product → engineering through tickets and handoffs. We’re collapsing that gap. Our platform helps teams think, spec, and build software collaboratively, translating business intent directly into production systems. We’re a funded, early-stage team founded by **former CTOs** who have built and scaled large systems — bringing deep, first-hand insight into how modern software is actually built. **What You’ll Work On** Build agentic workflows that translate business intent into technical execution Design systems where multiple users + AI agents collaborate in real-time Work on AI-assisted architecture, planning, and code generation systems Develop core primitives for a collaborative, multiplayer IDE Shape how non-technical users interact with and build production software **What We’re Looking For** Strong engineering fundamentals Experience with LLMs / AI systems Ability to build end-to-end systems Comfort with ambiguity and first-principles thinking High ownership and speed _Bonus_: Devtools / IDE experience Real-time collaboration systems Startup or product-building experience **Before you apply** This is not a typical job. We will not win you over with pedigree, logos, or borrowed credibility. And we are not here to be won over either. Show us what you’ve built — the single piece of work that defines you. Now, look at it closely. Is it the best you’re capable of — or just the best you’ve allowed yourself to do? Working with us will be brutally hard. There will be guarantees. In fact most people won’t make it. But if there’s something rare in you — a refusal to accept ordinary — we’ll see it. And we’ll reach out. And if this works… You won’t just have a job. You’ll have built your life’s best work, the thing you’ll measure the rest of your life against. with people who care as much as you do.
