Build with a team that actually ships.
We hire senior operators — designers, engineers, and PMs who've done the job before and want to keep doing it at a higher bar. Small team, ambitious clients, real ownership.
The shape of the job
Four things that make Flywheel different from the agency or in-house roles you've probably had before.
Senior team, small by design
We stay small and senior on purpose. Every engagement is staffed with people who've shipped real products. You won't be managing juniors or hiding behind a process — you'll be doing the work.
Ambitious clients, ambitious work
Our clients are founders raising rounds, teams entering new markets, operators betting on their next product. The work is high-stakes because the outcomes matter — to them, and to us.
Craft over churn
We measure ourselves by what ships, how well it works, and whether users come back. Hours-worked and busyness-as-virtue are cultural losses. Taste, rigor, and results are what we hire and reward for.
Real autonomy
You own your work end-to-end. No layered approvals, no design-by-committee. We hire people we trust to make calls — and then we let them make the calls.
We're not actively hiring right now.
But we're always open to hearing from exceptional designers, engineers, and product people. If the way we work resonates with you, send us your portfolio, GitHub, or recent work — not a résumé.
Send us your work
Tell us what you've shipped, what you care about, and what kind of work you'd want to do next. The best intros we get are specific and short.
hello@flywheel.soWhat we actually look for
Short list, but we're serious about it. These are the signals that map to people doing great work here.
You've shipped.
You have products in the world you can point to. Ideally ones with real users, real scale, or real stakes.
You have taste.
You can articulate why something works or doesn't — in product, design, or code. Strong opinions held loosely, evidence over vibes.
You finish things.
Starting is easy. Finishing — shipped, launched, maintained — is the skill. We hire finishers.
You communicate in writing.
Async-first teams live and die on writing. If you can make a case clearly in a doc, you'll fit here.
