Proof of work

Open to

Selectively open to transformative roles and partnerships — founding engineer, staff+/principal product engineering, AI platform leadership, technical founder-in-residence, or strategic product builds where ownership and shipping speed matter. Principals only; no spray-and-pray recruiters.

  • →Founding engineer / founding product engineer at ambitious AI or systems companies
  • →Staff / Principal / Distinguished IC with real ownership of agentic or platform systems
  • →Technical founder-in-residence or studio-within-a-studio arrangements
  • →Strategic product engineering leadership (build + ship, not pure people-manager theater)
  • →Select partnerships where KE Dev OS / K&E Studios compound with a serious platform

Compensation should match transformative impact. Serious packages only — including roles where sign-on, equity, and ownership are structured for outliers. If your band is mid-market, this is probably not the fit.

Not a fit

  • ×Generic CRUD contractor gigs
  • ×Anonymous agency bench roles
  • ×Slide-first strategy without a product to ship
  • ×Roles that ban side products without extraordinary equity + upside

How to reach (so you get a reply)

Email william@kestudios.dev with: who you are, the company, the problem, why me, and a concrete next step. Subject lines that name the company + role get read first.

A great card raises the odds of serious conversations. It does not mint million-dollar sign-ons by itself — product, proof, and relationships do. · Machine JSON · vCard · Local twin: 127.0.0.1:7430/card
