Overview:
We’re a pre-launch company backed by Atomic VC on a mission to accelerate the time it takes to hire new employees from 40 days to 4 days. Our beta product is being used internally by top tech recruiting agencies, helping their recruiters better evaluate candidates by leveraging AI to automate manual tasks during and after interviews.
We’re seeking a product-driven, founding engineer to join our team as our first full-time engineering hire. As a core member of our team, you will not only bring a track record of engineering expertise, but will also be a driver of projects and features that build into our product strategy and vision, finding and executing opportunities that have not explicitly been “assigned”.
As our founding engineer, you’ll help us deliver best-in-class software at start-up speed. With a test-and-learn mindset, you’ll architect solutions that are continuously improved through direct user feedback. Working directly with the founder, you’ll lead our engineering efforts to develop software that improves the hiring process for candidates, recruiters, and hiring managers.
Our Tech Stack: Next.js (Typescript), OpenNext, AWS (CDK), DynamoDB, Lambda, S3, EventBridge, CloudWatch

- Defined the medium-term technical strategy with a keen focus on incorporating business needs, user feedback, and the inherent flexibility required in an early stage-startup.
- Led the release of the minimum viable product by working throughout the stack - backend, frontend, and infrastructure, with an emphasis on backend development.
- Developed a data engineering strategy to synthesize data from disparate sources into an analysis ready state.
- Made key improvements to our underlying infrastructure, and laid out the medium term architecture roadmap.
- Identified practical use cases to take advantage of recent breakthroughs in Large Language Models (LLMs) and related technology as a first principle.
- Helped recruit additional technical team members to form a world-class, collaborative team.
- Established technical culture by setting best practices and norms.
- Led the release of subsequent versions of the product, with a focus on third-party data integrations, to unblock new business and enable growth.
What You Have:
- 5-7+ yrs of total full time software development experience.
- Experience with scripting languages (ex. Python) and automation tools.
- Experience with integration and tooling software.
- Familiarity with cloud-based computing platforms (ex. AWS, Google Cloud).
- Experience with multiple database management systems.
- Strong problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills with great attention to detail.
- 0->1 startup experience, ideally with a Pre-seed / Seed / Series A company
