We are looking for a passionate and proactive individual to take on the role of a founding engineer at our innovative company. This is a rare chance to influence the direction of our organization from its inception. As the initial engineer, you will play a pivotal role in the product development lifecycle, far exceeding conventional software engineering responsibilities.

This position emphasizes product engineering, meaning you will be intricately involved in both the creation and the user experience of our offerings. We seek someone who flourishes in a startup atmosphere, is enthusiastic about building from the ground up, and is keen to make a significant impact on the company's future.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Product Development: Assume complete responsibility for product features from concept to launch. You will be tasked with constructing and sustaining essential systems that are vital to our product's success.
  • Collaboration: Partner closely with the founding team to articulate and implement the product vision. Your contributions will be instrumental in shaping both the product and the engineering ethos.
  • Innovation: Proactively seek out opportunities for enhancement and creativity. We value inventive problem-solving and promote experimentation.
  • Technical Leadership: As the inaugural engineer, you will establish the technical trajectory for the company, making foundational choices that will affect our product for years ahead.
  • Mentorship and Growth: As the team expands, you will have the chance to mentor new engineers and influence the development of the engineering group.

Experience:

  • Prior experience in a product engineering capacity is highly preferred.
  • Experience in a reputable early-stage startup (Seed - Series A) is essential.
  • 3 - 5 years of relevant experience.

Mission Alignment:

  • Must be deeply committed to our mission of transforming the recruiting and talent landscape.

Design Acumen:

  • Possess a strong design sensibility, with a focus on creating user-centered products.

Product Orientation:

  • Prioritizes building exceptional products over engaging in purely technical challenges.
  • Demonstrates a passion for product development through strong side project experience.

Communication Skills:

  • Exceptional communicator with the ability to express ideas clearly and succinctly.

Energy and Enthusiasm:

  • Exudes high energy and excitement about the talent sector, coupled with a robust work ethic and a commitment to our vision.

Self-Starter:

  • Capable of working independently in a dynamic, fast-paced environment. You should be someone who proactively seeks opportunities to contribute.

Nice-to-Haves:

Education: Graduated from a prestigious institution (e.g., Harvard, Stanford, MIT, Berkeley, Yale, Princeton, UCLA, etc.).

Differentiators:

  • Previous experience in a high-growth startup environment.
  • A proven history of delivering products that resonate with users.

Why Consider This Opportunity?

  • Impact: Play a crucial role in the early phases of a company, with the ability to significantly influence both the product and the organizational culture.
  • Growth: As the first engineer, you will have the chance to evolve with the company, potentially advancing into a leadership position as the team grows.
  • Culture: Become part of a team that values collaboration, innovation, and a commitment to creating something extraordinary. We are dedicated to fostering a supportive environment where everyone can excel.
