Founding Engineer

We are looking for a Founding Engineer with 2-6 years of experience to join as the first engineering hire at a YC S25 company building the all-in-one workforce management platform for deskless teams. You'll work directly with the CTO, building on a product that customers already love — demand is outpacing what the team can deliver, and they need a hungry, technically strong builder to help ship fast.

What will you be doing?

- Own entire product surfaces end-to-end across web, mobile, and backend — shipping features to production weekly

- Build reliable, correct systems for scheduling, time tracking, and payroll where businesses depend on every line of code

- Work directly with the CTO to architect critical backend logic, including multi-region support and complex business rules

- Join customer calls (~20% of your time) to understand workflows and translate insights into well-designed features

- Use modern AI tools (Cursor, Claude, etc.) thoughtfully to plan, sequence, and ship high-quality code faster

Key Requirements

- 2-6 years of professional software engineering experience with strong CS fundamentals (no bootcamp backgrounds)

- Production full-stack TypeScript experience (React/Next.js, Node.js) — must have shipped software that real users depended on

- Back-end strength: comfortable architecting systems where correctness is critical (e.g., payroll, payments, scheduling)

- CS degree from a strong program required — pedigree signals matter (good school and/or good company experience)

- Must work on-site in San Francisco; no visa sponsorship available
