Founding Engineer

About the Role

Join an early-stage B2B software team building a platform for enterprise headcount planning. As a Founding Engineer, you will work closely with founders and early customers to shape the product and deliver practical solutions as the company works toward product-market fit.

What You'll Do

• Ship and iterate quickly while balancing delivery speed with product quality.

• Partner with founders to design solutions for customer problems.

• Work directly with customers to diagnose and resolve product issues.

• Own substantial parts of the product, from technical design through production release.

• Contribute across engineering, product, and customer support in a small team.

What We're Looking For

• At least 2 years of full-stack software engineering experience, with hands-on frontend and backend web application development.

• Experience at a venture-backed startup, as a founder or founding engineer, or in another early-stage environment building a product from the ground up.

• Proficiency with web technologies and experience learning and shipping across multiple stacks; the current stack includes TypeScript, Node.js, MongoDB, and Google Cloud Platform.

• Experience with systems design, data modeling, low-latency systems, and transport or streaming technologies.

• Strong product and user empathy, including the ability to consider how users interact with data.

• Comfort working in small teams, taking initiative, and owning work across engineering, product, and customer support.

• Experience collaborating with customers or cross-functional teams; B2B software experience, especially in HR or finance, is a plus.

• A computer science or engineering degree is preferred.
