Product Engineer, Work at a Startup

About the role

For this particular role, we’re looking for an engineer excited to help grow YC’s hiring platform, workatastartup.com. Hiring early talent is one of the most challenging things as a startup, and YC has helped over 1600 people get jobs through our platform. (Even Doordash, Coinbase and Instacart have hired people on our platform – so it works at scale!) We’re excited to invest more time and effort into making it the best place to find a job at a great startup.

Examples of projects we’re worked on:

Inbox and messaging. We focus on making hiring/getting a job more conversational and informal, and put you directly in contact with founders – not just recruiters.

Enterprise sourcing & ATS tools. Our founders use our tools to find hidden gems among a sea of 1M great candidates – to find the right fit to build their startup.

Job candidate profiles. Finding the best ways to let candidates show what they’re great at, through their experience, Github profile or other places they can shine.

Growth. Our integrations with ycombinator.com, Linkedin and ATS systems have grown our presence and top of funnel for founders to find the best technical talent.

We feel like we’re just getting started, and have a lot of great ideas to help scale hiring at startups with our small, focused team of three.
