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.
