ABOUT THE ROLE This is a Founding Engineer opportunity at an early-stage startup in San Francisco, where you'll be one of the first engineers shaping the product from the ground up. You'll work in a small, high-ownership team where your technical decisions and product instincts will have an outsized impact on the company's trajectory. WHAT YOU'LL DO - Build and own end-to-end product features across the full stack, from initial concept through to production. - Contribute meaningfully to product direction, working closely with founders and early team members. - Make foundational architecture decisions that will scale with the company. - Move fast in a 0-to-1 environment, iterating on ideas and shipping with a high degree of autonomy. WHAT WE'RE LOOKING FOR - 3–7 years of full-stack software development experience. - Proven experience building products end-to-end at an early-stage startup, ideally in a 0-to-1 context. - Comfortable owning both frontend and backend development. - Strong product sense and the ability to influence product direction, not just execute on specs. - Strong CS fundamentals, ideally from a rigorous academic program. - Based in San Francisco, CA, or willing to relocate. - Eligible to work in the United States without visa sponsorship. - Prior experience at a high-growth startup or large-scale technology company is a plus. COMPENSATION & BENEFITS Salary range: $200,000 – $300,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role. LOCATION On-site in San Francisco, CA.
