Careers

Opine is a small company building something deliberately difficult: a place where verified professionals publish on the record and can be answered, sentence by sentence, by people equally accountable.

These are the first two roles. They open when our current funding round closes. If the work interests you, write now rather than later — we would rather know you early.

Senior Engineer

Opine is built in Next.js, TypeScript and Supabase, and has had exactly one pair of hands on it. You would be the second.

  • —Own substantial parts of the product end to end, not tickets from a queue
  • —Take the platform from desktop-only to genuinely usable on a phone
  • —Harden what a solo-built codebase has deferred — tests, observability, access control
  • —Shape how we build, because there is no process to inherit

For someone who wants ownership and is comfortable that early decisions will be theirs to make and to live with.

Editorial Lead

Opine’s constraint is not features. It is whether serious people argue here, on the record, under their own names.

  • —Commission and shepherd pieces from verified professionals
  • —Build relationships with writers who already have standing in their field
  • —Broker the first real exchanges — on Opine, a response is itself a citable published piece
  • —Decide what a Column is for, and hold the standard

Likely a journalist, editor, or someone from policy or professional publishing. This is not a growth marketing role.

Verification and trust

Verification at Opine is done by people, not by an automated check. That is the point of it, and it is why it cannot be copied cheaply. I run it myself at the moment. It will become a role as volume requires.
