🚀 About Deploy Labs
Deploy Labs is the product innovation arm of Deploy, focused on building vertical AI software for operationally complex industries.
Our flagship product, HUB IQ, is a modern operating system for the staffing industry; a multi-tenant, SOC 2-aligned HRMS support platform designed to unify sales, workforce risk, legal workflows, finance tracking, and AI-driven profitability insights.
We are currently live with multiple users & projected to 5x by the end of Q2.
Our initial focus is light industrial and clerical staffing, with a broader vision of building workflow intelligence software that can extend across industries.
This is applied AI in a real revenue-generating environment, not experimental software.
🎯 The Opportunity
We are hiring our Founding Software Engineer to help architect, scale, and refine HUB IQ alongside leadership.
This is a 0→1 product role with real ownership.
You will report directly to Ian and Matt and work closely with leadership on architecture decisions, product roadmap, AI integration, and long-term platform scalability.
This is not a ticket-taking role, it is a foundational build seat.

• KPI dashboards at branch and customer levels
• Sales pipeline management

Our AI layer is already delivering meaningful insights — including profitability analysis revealing that removing three unprofitable clients would increase profit by several hundred thousand dollars.
Additional capabilities include:
• Weekly projections and goal tracking
• Customer risk and volatility analysis
• Profitability modeling across customers and branches
🏗 Technical Environment

• Build and refine core product features
• Improve UI/UX to reduce clicks and optimize workflow efficiency
• Integrate AI capabilities through strong prompting strategies
• Establish development best practices and security standards
• Support audit readiness and penetration testing efforts
• Collaborate directly with leadership on technical roadmap
• Help define engineering culture and future hiring standards
🔍 What We’re Looking For
• Mid-to-senior level full stack engineer
• Strong foundational engineering skills
• Experience building 0→1 products
• Comfortable operating in ambiguity and high-ownership environments
• UI/UX awareness focused on efficiency and workflow simplification
• Exposure to data security, audits, or penetration testing is a plus
• Experience integrating AI systems or prompt-based tooling
• GitHub presence preferred but not required
• Flexible mindset toward tech stack (Vibe, Cursor, or traditional coding approaches)
This role is primarily on-site in Newport Beach.
No visa sponsorship available.
