About Hotwash

Hotwash is an after-action review platform for fire departments. After a serious call, crews record what happened, we transcribe and structure it, and the hard-won lessons become searchable institutional memory instead of retiring when the veterans who earned them do. Fire is the wedge; the long game is operational learning for any high-reliability organization.

Job Description

Employee #1 on engineering. Own the codebase, architecture, and UX end to end, and lead the rebuild off the current stack. You will work directly with the founder on what gets built and why, including sitting with fire chiefs to determine what they actually need. For the right person this becomes the CTO seat. Stack: FlutterFlow + Firebase, Node, with Groq/AssemblyAI for transcription and Gemini for summarization. The rebuild target is React Native (Expo), Cloudflare Workers, D1, R2. You will own that migration, so this is real greenfield ownership, not maintenance. Founding equity; cash is lean right now and grows when we close.
