About the Role

This is a founding engineering role at an early-stage B2B SaaS company building a headcount planning platform for enterprise teams. You'll work directly with founders and early customers to shape the product from the ground up — owning everything from technical design to production deployment.

What You'll Do

  • Ship and iterate quickly while making thoughtful trade-offs between speed and quality.

  • Collaborate with founders to design solutions that directly address customer problems.

  • Interact with customers to diagnose and resolve product issues firsthand.

  • Own large areas of the product end-to-end, from technical design through to production.

  • Wear multiple hats across engineering, product, and customer support as needed.

What We're Looking For

  • 3+ years of software engineering experience building products at VC-backed startups, as a founding engineer, or owning zero-to-one projects at a larger company.

  • Strong proficiency in TypeScript; ability to quickly learn and adapt to new stacks.

  • Demonstrated expertise in systems design and data modeling.

  • Strong computer science fundamentals; degree in CS or Engineering preferred.

  • Experience in B2B software, particularly in HR or Finance domains, is a plus.

  • Proven ability to take initiative — e.g. delivering projects outside a set roadmap or building impressive side projects.

  • Product and user empathy — thinking beyond the code to how users interact with data.

  • Experience working with customers or cross-functional teams to shape product decisions.

  • Comfortable working in small, fast-moving teams and wearing multiple hats.

Compensation & Benefits

Salary: $150,000 – $200,000 USD annually. Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
