Founding Engineer

Speak to the customer. Understand the problem. Build the solution. Own it after it ships.

I’m working with a YC-backed startup looking for a Full-Stack Engineer who wants that level of responsibility.

You’ll work directly with the founders, build across the product and turn customer needs into software that gets used.

The role includes:

• Shipping frontend and backend changes.
• Investigating and resolving production issues.
• Speaking directly with customers.
• Making sensible decisions when the problem is clearer than the specification.

You should be comfortable building across the stack and taking work through to completion.

Early-stage experience is useful, but substantial projects or independent builds can also demonstrate the right background.

Deep AI expertise is not required.

New York, five days a week in person. Base salary up to $200k, plus equity.

If that sounds like the kind of engineering role you want, message me with your resume or LinkedIn profile and an example of something you’ve shipped.
