Apply for this Job

I'm supporting a fast-growing, VC-backed startup in San Francisco that's fundamentally rethinking how top companies like Palantir, Ramp, Scale AI, and Applied Intuition hire top talent. They're looking for a Founding Product Engineer to join as one of their first technical hires.


This is a high-ownership, product-focused role where you'd be building end-to-end, working closely with users, and helping scale a product that's already showing strong traction (8-figure ARR within a year).


They're looking for:

  • 3+ years of software/product engineering experience
  • Strong design instincts and side project experience
  • Top-tier academic background (e.g. MIT, Stanford, Berkeley, etc.)
  • Experience at high-ownership cultures (e.g. Ramp, Scale, Palantir, Anduril)
  • High energy, clear communication, and genuine interest in the recruiting/talent space

Role Highlights:

  • Competitive salary + equity
  • On-site in North Beach (San Francisco)
  • Full-stack tech stack: React.js, Postgres, Next.js, Typescript, Vercel, GCP
  • Work directly with the founders and own major product decisions
  • Build with proprietary data in a space that truly needs innovation

If you're product-minded, thrive in fast-moving environments, and want to shape something early with massive potential, this could be a great fit.
