🛠 Founding Engineer

Join Jammy: Build the Future of Emotional Intelligence


Jammy is building the world’s first emotionally intelligent recommendation engine—starting with music.


We help Gen Z feel seen, understood, and supported in real-time by translating emotion into action. Snap a selfie. Get a playlist. Shift your mood. No journaling, no overthinking—just instant emotional alignment powered by AI.


We believe emotional well-being should feel as intuitive and engaging as your favorite apps—and as personalized as your best friend’s playlist rec. With Jammy, we’re making that future a reality.



We’re hiring:


🛠 Founding Engineer


Own the iOS app and scale emotional intelligence

• Strong UIKit/native iOS dev skills

• Cross-functional chops with Product, Design, and AI

• Bonus: consumer social, music tech, or GenAI background


🎨 Founding Designer


Shape Jammy’s UX and brand from the ground up

• Deep iOS product design experience

• Strategic thinker with great taste and storytelling instincts

• Bonus: experience in Gen Z, wellness, or expressive tech


Why Join?


• Category-Defining Product: We’re not building another wellness app—we’re inventing a new interface between humans and content.

• Mission-Driven: Help Gen Z feel less alone by making emotional insight effortless and empowering.

• Early Team: Real ownership. Early equity. Build what others will copy.

• Creative Culture: Weird, musical, heart-led, and ambitious.


About Me


I’m Eric Davich—founder of Jammy, co-founder of Songza (acquired by Google), and former head of marketing for YouTube Music and Android. I’ve spent 15+ years at the intersection of music, tech, and emotion. Jammy is the product I wish I had when I needed help but didn’t have the words.


Let’s Jam


Email [email protected] with your resume and a short note on why this mission resonates with you. We’re building something new—and we need brave, thoughtful people to help shape it.
