About this role
You'll be a Founding Software Engineer at Squad, working across the full stack on product, growth, internal tooling, and infrastructure. This is a high-ownership, cross-functional role where you'll collaborate closely with the founder, other founding engineers, and users to scale a recruiting platform connecting high-intent roles at companies like Circle, Stellar, and CoinList.
What You'll Do
- Build and ship user-facing features end-to-end, from recruiter-facing flows to activation improvements.
- Own ambiguous problems with direct customer interaction and feedback loops.
- Contribute to internal tools and infrastructure that unblock the team as priorities shift.
- Collaborate closely with founding team members and users to shape product direction.
What We're Looking For
- 0–2 years of full-stack experience with TypeScript, React, and JavaScript.
- Track record as a 0→1 builder—either as a founding engineer at seed/Series A startups or as a product engineer at product-led-growth companies.
- Product mindset with demonstrated ability to ship user-facing features end-to-end.
- Direct customer interaction experience and comfort owning problems with ambiguity.
- Background in recruiting/HR tech, CRM/dashboard tools, or B2B verticals is a plus.
- User-feedback-driven approach; avoid pure infrastructure or spec-driven backgrounds.
Compensation & Benefits
- Up to $160k base + equity
- 2 openings
Location
In-person in New York City.
