Frontend Engineer [US Citizen & Equity Only]

Who We Are

We are Scheme, and we are building the first-ever Spatial Workflow Intelligence platform. We combine the thinking of a mind map with the execution power of AI.

We've created the Internet-of-Ideas Hub: A spatially-interconnected Space leveraging GraphRAG capabilities to be able to extract and cluster our users busy minds in the most efficient UI out there. We've combined mind mapping capabilities with agentic-AI to access to email, messaging threads, LLM chats, you name it, and we can connect to it. Outlook, Slack, Teams, ChatGPT, Perplexity, all in one place. Our current efforts are building out our Marketplace for users to buy and sell others' Spaces, creating a plugin environment to support cross-platform interconnectivity, and developing our open-source SDK to bring together a community with one common goal of creating a new way of how people work.
