How To Find a 10x Engineer For My Start-Up?

Hey Product Hunt friends,

I’m the founder of SUN, GenAI Audio Learning App (backed by a top VC firm, the announcement is coming ;)

We’re building something big: a mobile where anyone can generate a personalized audio course on any topic with a single prompt, listen, ask questions, and get real-time answers. It’s the future of learning, on-demand, interactive, and deeply personal.

Now comes the hard part…

We’re looking for a founding full-stack mobile engineer. Preferably, someone who has experience with LLMs and with:

• Deep mobile experience (iOS/Android – ideally in Flutter)

• Real-world LLM integration (ChatGPT, Gemini, Claude, etc.)

• A hacker’s mindset — fast, scrappy, but with product taste

• Bonus: animation (Rive), gamification, real-time audio/chat

What we’re offering:

• A chance to help build the next breakout consumer AI app

• Early team role w/ meaningful equity

• Work with high-performers: ex-Adobe, Google, Boston Dynamics, Walmart Labs, Palantir, Cornell, Harvard, Oxford, etc.

• A mission to make learning as addictive as TikTok

🤖 Why I’m posting here:

I know how hard it is to find 10x engineers, especially ones who get product and want to build something from 0 to 1.

So I’m trying something different. Instead of just pinging recruiters and LinkedIn, I’m turning to this community. I’d love to hear:

• How did you find your technical founding engineer #1 ?

• What would stand out to you if you were that person?

• Or… know someone I must talk to? 🙏

💬 Let’s chat:

Drop your tips, war stories, referrals, or even questions below.

And if you’re the kind of person who can code a rocket while designing the dashboard, DM me or comment. I’d love to meet.
