About Rork

Our mission is to solve millions of problems people meet every day. This is the first time in history where AI coding enables users to ship apps that solve their own problems. Rork is doing for utilities what YouTube did to TV.

Mobile is uniquely suited for this mission — it's the only platform that retains users well and is an incredible piece of hardware capable of everything. However, building apps has historically been very expensive and difficult, leaving countless problems unsolved.

We are a tiny 5 person team that ships fast. The founders (Daniel & Levan) are both generalists, technical, and full-stack.

Applying

To apply, please email your GitHub profile and/or CV along with a brief note about a project you're proud of to [email protected].

The interview process has three stages:

The first is a vibe call where we'll discuss your past projects and talk about coding.

The second interview is more technical and longer — it may include live coding.

The third stage is a paid work trial, which we prefer to make in-person if possible — we'll cover all travel costs or fly to you if possible. It takes 2 weeks, but we can make faster decisions if we determine it's not the right fit. If not possible, we’ll make it online.
