Product Engineer, Post Batch

YC is looking to bring on a Product Engineer to help scale our impact by supporting post-batch initiatives and the YC-only hiring platform.

In This Role, You Will

• Design and build out new features in entirety. This role focuses on helping founders post-batch, including workatastartup.com (hiring) and internal software (helping YC stay in touch with founders and YC alumni).
• Scope and prioritize items on our post-batch roadmap alongside YC partners and others on the YC software team.
• Analyze usage and engagement from founders, job-seekers and other users to understand what's working and what's not, and improve accordingly.

Who we are

YC is small : the whole company is only 85 people, and our software team makes up 15. We value a small, tightly knit crew where each product engineer has autonomy and can move quickly. We're a team of former founders and engineers who value ownership and product-focused work, and we collaborate with a low-ego, high-impact mindset.

We operate like a startup : roadmaps evolve, we ship new products, and we experiment while being honest about what's working. We seek kind, low-ego people who can contribute to a monolith codebase and help founders, our Group Partners, or other engineers on the codebase.

YC is applying AI tools across our product areas, including investor-focused work, and we're happy to share more when we chat in person.

What we're looking for
