Bottle | Founding Engineer + Head of Engineering | NYC preferred | Full-time
Bottle helps local food brands sell to all of their customers - pickup orders, delivery, gifts, on-demand, pre-order, wholesale, subscription - in a single unified checkout flow.
We bootstrapped for 5 years, raised money a year ago, and are in growth mode now. We're a tight product team - just four full-time engineers and no dedicated product managers yet.
We're hiring founding engineers who want to be on a tight-knit team, take on really hard challenges in a huge market, and consistently ship beautiful software.
Offering significant equity (1-5%) for high performers. Email me directly, will at bottle.com

Bottle helps local businesses sell by texting their community. When merchants sign up, they 1. launch a one-page checkout, 2. sign their customers up for a text membership, and then 3. text order reminders and product drops to their fam every week.
We're a real business. We bootstrapped for 5 years and then closed our first funding in company history from an amazing group of investors two months ago. We're currently 4 full-time employees and 5 part-time contractors with plans to double our team in the next 6 months. Hiring for:
- Lead Ruby on Rails developer (3+ years of experience, to take over backend engineering)
- Lead Vue developer (1+ year of experience)
- Product Manager (we're looking for people genuinely interested in our problem space of local business, ecommerce, and texting)
- No-Code Specialist (PART-TIME) (to help us build out Zapier, Hubspot, Front, and Retool workflows) (SQL knowledge a plus but not required)
I haven't heard a compelling reason as to why the basic reality you point out wouldn't be true with UBI. It applies more to housing than to healthcare (we'd be delighted to build more hospitals and hire more nurses, but we can't make Manhattan bigger).
Georgism at work.
Places with lower building regulations and higher property taxes would likely fare better with UBI than places with locked housing supply and extreme building regulation, such as San Francisco.
If it was possible to build more housing, then I'd expect more housing to get built with UBI and rents to not go crazy. Otherwise, we're just pumping more steam into a turbine...
