Founding Engineer

Salary: $165K + 2-5% Equity

Company Description: Stealth EdTech SaaS startup

Job Description:
As Employee #1, you will spearhead the transition from agency-built MVP to in-house development for a platform revolutionizing student career networking. You will own the technical roadmap, building complex visualization engines and AI recommendation systems to help students navigate their professional futures. This is a high-impact role preparing for a seed round.

Location: San Francisco, USA

Why this role is remarkable:

• Join as the first employee with 2-5% equity and massive influence over the technical architecture and team culture.

• Lead by a proven operator who previously scaled a consumer platform to 16M+ users through university networks.

• Tackle a massive, real-world problem by replacing archaic career advice with a modern, visual network mapping tool.

What you will do:

• Take full ownership of the tech stack, including React, Node.js, and graph databases like Neo4j.

• Architect and build a proprietary network visualization engine and an AI-powered recommendation system.

• Transition the product from an external agency to an internal powerhouse while scaling the engineering infrastructure.

The ideal candidate:

• 3-5 years of full-stack experience with a track record of shipping successful consumer-facing products.

• Deep technical expertise in React/Next.js and data-heavy applications using D3.js or graph databases.

• Entrepreneurial mindset comfortable with the ambiguity of a pre-seed, pre-product environment.

We never post fake jobs
This isn't a trick. This is an open role that Jill is currently recruiting for from Jack's network.
Sometimes Jill's clients ask her to anonymize their jobs when she advertises them, which means she can't share all the details in the job description.
We appreciate this can make them look a bit suspect, but there isn't much we can do about it.

Give Jack a spin! You could land this role. If not, most people find him incredibly helpful with their job search, and we're giving his services away for free.
