Product Engineers on YC's own team
$185kUnited States Digital Space LLC
the company | Product Engineers on YC's own team | San Francisco | Full Time | $185K-$485K I'm Ryan, an EM and engineer here at YC. We have a small, 18‑person software team with no PMs – engineers own everything end‑to‑end. We build the software behind YC's $6B in investments: tools that help partners evaluate thousands of startups per batch, AI‑powered apps that founders use every day, and platforms like Work at a Startup that connect candidates with YC companies. Engineers get unlimited AI tokens – both for development and to build AI‑powered products. What wouldn't you build to help founders + YC with that much firepower? What makes this different from other roles You'd learn more about startups here than you could possibly imagine. Every batch brings hundreds of founders building things across every industry, and you're right in the middle of it. We attend Demo Day, founder dinners, and work directly with partners and many of the companies. (They make great products!) We pay well, offer carry in the fund (like equity), and provide generous relocation support if you're not in SF yet. Two roles open Product Engineer – full‑stack, own the product lifecycle. Rails/React stack. Build tools that power how YC invests in and supports startups. It's a wide range, and sometimes it feels like labs‑like work, other times it feels like a supersuit to power founders and our Partners like Garry and Jared. Community Builder and Software Engineer – hybrid role. Run YC's talent‑facing programs (meetups, tech talks, career expos) AND build the software that makes them scale. You need to be a great engineer and LOVE to build and support communities. Checkout more about the roles, and email me directly if you're excited to learn more about startups than you will anywhere else – View email address on click.appcast.io #J-18808-Ljbffr United States Digital Space LLC
