Founders Track – Builder / Early Hire

About The RoleThis is an open call for builders who'd rather show what they've made than talk about it. A pre-seed AI startup in the talent/recruiting space is looking for early-stage contributors across engineering, product, design, and operations. If you're selected, you'll be introduced to a relevant role — either within the core team or at one of the startup's partner companies.Two PathsPath 1: Future FounderYou'll probably start something one day — just not yet. Right now you want to see how a high-conviction startup runs from the inside: ship fast, touch every part of the business, and be in the room when decisions get made.Path 2: Ready to FocusYou've led as a founder, CTO, or the person who kept the whole thing running. You've built teams, raised money, and made it work. Now you want to go deep on one problem with people who are excellent at what they do.What We're Looking ForProven track record of shipping real products, features, apps, or communities with demonstrable user impactHands-on experience with TypeScript/JavaScript and Node.js for full-stack development; familiarity with ReactExperience designing and consuming RESTful APIs and working with relational databases (e.g., PostgreSQL)Ability to work across functions — product, go-to-market, engineering, and operationsComfortable making decisions under uncertainty without waiting for permissionExperience in a fast-paced startup environment with high ownership and accountabilityPortfolio or examples of shipped work required (no cover letter needed)Nice to HavePrior founding experience or significant early-stage startup exposureBackground in AI, recruiting tech, or marketplace productsLocation & Work ArrangementBased in Los Angeles, CA or open to remote candidates who can work across US and European time zones (San Francisco / Berlin-friendly)Occasional travel may be requiredVisa sponsorship is availableHow to ApplySubmit a portfolio or concrete examples of work you've shipped.
