Founding Engineer Location: New York, NY On-site | Full-time Compensation: $150K - $350K Our client is a high-growth, venture-backed startup on a mission to reinvent technical interviewing and transform the global $600B+ staffing industry. By moving beyond traditional "LeetCode" style evaluations, our client has developed a fundamentally better way for companies to identify talent, combat fraud, and market top-tier candidates to Fortune 500 organizations. The organization is currently at an ideal inflection point: they have moved past product-market fit and are entering a rapid scaling phase. Backed by a $3.1M seed round from premier investors—including GSV Ventures, BoxGroup, and angels from OpenAI, SpaceX, and Retool—the company has already surpassed seven figures in revenue. Their customer base includes dozens of enterprise staffing firms, including the largest staffing firm in the world. Our client is seeking a Founding Engineer to join a talent-dense team of seven hailing from institutions and companies such as Stanford, Penn, Waterloo, Retool, and MongoDB. This is a high-impact role for a builder who wants to own critical systems and define the technical standards for an entire industry. Key Responsibilities Innovation in Evaluation: Define and build the new standard for technical interviewing, creating systems that retire outdated evaluation methods and provide high-fidelity talent assessments. AI Implementation: Utilize AI and machine learning to detect fraud, identify complex patterns in candidate performance, and significantly accelerate the hiring lifecycle. System Architecture: Design, develop, and maintain critical full-stack systems from the ground up, ensuring high performance and scalability. End-to-End Ownership: Manage features and systems through the entire lifecycle—from initial concept and architectural design to deployment and monitoring. Strategic Input: As one of the first engineering hires, play a key role in shaping the technical roadmap and making fundamental architecture decisions. Technical Proficiency: 4+ years of experience in modern full-stack development. Advanced proficiency in React, Node.js, and Python (or similar frameworks) is expected. Infrastructure Knowledge: Experience managing cloud-native infrastructure within AWS, GCP, or Azure . Startup Mindset: Demonstrated ability to thrive in a fast-moving, high-performance startup environment where ambiguity is common. Coding Fundamentals: Highly technical with a strong bias toward code quality, security, and performance. Founding Mentality: A desire to solve problems end-to-end and a willingness to take radical ownership over outcomes rather than just tickets. Location: Ability to work on-site five days a week in the New York City office to foster high-bandwidth collaboration. Sponsorship and relocation: Our client is open to candidates who will relocate and will consider visa sponsorship.
