About the position
At Hatch, we're building AI that doesn't just assist behind the scenes; it converses with customers out in the wild. Backed by Y Combinator and top-tier investors like Bessemer and NextView, we're scaling fast, doubling revenue year over year, and looking for A players to help us cement our place as the category leader in AI for customer engagement.
