I built a job board because companies don't know how to hire AI-native builders yet.

I’ve been interviewing lately and noticed a massive gap in the market. Companies are desperate for devs who build heavily with AI tools, but they have no idea what to write in the Job Description or what to make the job title.

But the underlying demand is clear:

  • They don't want corporate engineers.
  • They don't care about degrees or traditional experience.
  • They only care about seeing real projects you’ve actually built.
  • The roles are highly autonomous/independent.
  • The salary is surprisingly good.

Because the JDs are so poorly written, these jobs are incredibly hard for candidates to find. So I solved my own problem and built a job board to curate them.

It's live at ai-native-builder.com . Built it fast to bridge the gap between startups looking for scrappy builders and devs who just want to ship without the corporate red tape.

Vibe coding has already become a real job. It’s called AI Native Builder

Back in 2024, using Cursor/AI heavily still felt a bit unserious to a lot of people. Now I’m seeing more companies hiring for roles where that is basically the workflow.

The weird part is the titles are all over the place: AI Builder, AI Product Engineer, Automation Engineer, AI Native Builder, etc. The JDs are messy, but the pattern is similar: they care less about degrees or years of experience, and more about what you’ve actually built.

So I built a small job board to track these roles.

How I built it:

  • Used AI tools like Cursor/Claude to move faster on the frontend and data cleaning
  • Collected roles from company job pages and job APIs
  • Parsed messy JDs into cleaner fields like responsibilities, tools mentioned, and role type
  • Built the site around search/discovery rather than a traditional job board layout

Upcoming:

  • Filtered for roles where AI tools, autonomy, and “builder” output are clearly part of the job

The main thing I learned: keyword search is not enough. A lot of these roles don’t have “AI native builder” in the title, so the hard part is reading between the lines of the JD.

Sharing because I think this is one of the first job categories that matches how people in this sub actually work.
