In the last year, we've moved the whole startup course online, started a new track for aspiring founders, and launched a co-founder matching platform...

We have a lot more exciting stuff to deliver, so we're looking to hire a full-stack product engineer to join our team. This is a great role for someone who loves helping startups and wants to own and build projects from 0 to 1.

We work primarily in Ruby on Rails and React (learning on the job is fine), and we spend a lot of our time coding. That said, we encourage everyone to participate in all of YC -- join our batch talks and events, help out with Demo Day, and speak up on the projects you'd want to work on.

The YC software team you'd be joining has 10 people with lots of collective years of start-up and big company experience, so you'll get the best of both worlds: moving fast and shipping and strong teammates/mentors to help you learn. Startup School is currently a team of 3. We're open to folks 2+ years out of school or even those with 10+ years of experience. Lastly, the work-life balance is great, and you get to work with people across the company.

If this sounds like an interesting opportunity, we welcome you to apply!

Y Combinator has created a new model for funding early stage startups. Twice a year we invest $500,000 per company in a large number of startups... We work intensively with the companies for three months, to get them into the best possible shape and refine their pitch to investors. Each cycle culminates in Demo Day, when the startups present their companies to a carefully selected, invite-only audience. But YC doesn’t end on Demo Day. We and Y Combinator has created a new model for funding early stage startups.

Twice a year we invest $500,000 per company in a large number of startups...

We work intensively with the companies for three months, to get them into the best possible shape and refine their pitch to investors. Each cycle culminates in Demo Day, when the startups present their companies to a carefully selected, invite-only audience.

But YC doesn’t end on Demo Day. We and the YC alumni network continue to help founders for the life of their company, and beyond.

Some FAQ's about the program:

Where does the YC program happen? Do I need to move to Silicon Valley?

The batch kicks off with a 3-day, in-person retreat and ends with an in-person celebration, both in the San Francisco Bay Area. For the weeks in between, you can participate remotely and do not have to be in the Bay Area. There are weekly meetups in San Francisco, and we encourage teams who can move to the Bay Area to do so. Office hours and batch talks will be online.

How do we choose which startups to fund?

We have an admissions process that’s open to any startup, anywhere in the world.

How much do you invest?

We have a standard deal for all our investments. We invest $500,000 in every company on standard terms.

Our $500K investment is made on 2 separate safes:
• We invest $125,000 on a post-money safe in return for 7% of your company (the “$125k safe”)
• We invest $375,000 on an uncapped safe with a Most Favored Nation (“MFN”) provision (the “MFN safe”)

The MFN safe will take on the terms of the lowest cap safe (or other most favorable terms) issued between the start of the batch and the company’s next equity round. Simply put, we’re giving the company money now but at the terms you will negotiate with other investors later.

Both investments happen at the same time; they are not contingent on any milestones.

What can I use the YC investment for?

You can use the YC investment for anything that you believe helps your business. In most cases, the first use of the funding should be for the founders to support themselves so they can work full-time on their company, typically by paying themselves a salary.

If you have student loans, a mortgage, etc. you can use what you pay yourself from the YC investment to cover those.

What is the time commitment of Y Combinator?

It is less than most founders expect; a few hours per week if you participate in all the recommended activities. All parts of the YC program are optional; as a founder we expect you to choose how to spend your time to maximize the odds of your company succeeding.

Some founders worry that Y Combinator will be a distraction from working on their startup. But actually it’s the opposite; we created Y Combinator to make it possible for founders to spend several months completely focused on their startup with no distractions. Many founders tell us that their three months in Y Combinator was the most productive time of their lives

👀 What We're Seeking

We're looking for a versatile and experienced software engineer to lead the development of our web-based application that allows customers to collect R&D data and query our AI models to simulate lab experiments and create entire optimized formulas. You will work directly with the founders and a small team of engineers, and as the very first employee, you will have tremendous say and impact on the direction and prospects of our company.

🧑‍💻 What You'll Be Doing
• Taking ownership of full stack development and working alongside other engineers on web applications (end-to-end experience with React.js and Node.js preferred, though we welcome anyone with interest in learning new tech stacks)
• Establishing continuous deployment of automated build, test, and release pipelines
• Writing clean, testable, scalable, efficient, and well-documented code in an agile environment (JavaScript, Python, SQL, C#, etc.)
• Contributing to product road-mapping alongside the founding team and prioritizing features according to customer needs
• Taking on an entrepreneurial mentality to independently identify and pursue opportunities for the organization

🎨 Your Existing Skills
• You have high levels of self-awareness and empathy combined with a strong work ethic
• You are a curious person with a strong desire to grow. You are passionate about solving complex problems in a rapidly changing environment and have an interest in keeping up with emerging technologies
• You have made major contributions to full-stack engineering projects, preferably having started from scratch and worked through all phases of product development, from planning and design to execution and release
• You are highly self-directed and resourceful, with experience working on collaborative teams and translating technical language and concepts to non-technical people
• You have hands-on experience working with automated release pipelines (bonus for an AI/ML environment)
• You have the ability to design and implement automated testing to ensure the production of robust code (CI/CD, Gitlab, Github, Docker, Kubernetes, etc.)
• You are proficient in server-side code and the design of web applications (e.g., APIs, source system extraction, deserialization, microservices, etc.)
• You exhibit a willingness to test, learn, and iterate by validating new features and quickly moving on if they don't work

😍 Bonus points
• You have experience or interest in chemistry, AI, enterprise SaaS, or an end market in which we operate (e.g., beauty)
• You value design and would enjoy building a web application that has the complexity of enterprise software combined with the user experience of best-in-class consumer products
• You have been in a "tech lead" position in the past and have experience with hiring & management of engineers
• You have experience in or exposure to ML engineering
• You have experience interfacing and collaborating with B2B clients and have a desire to continue doing so
• You have opinions on company culture!
