Questions

How many founding engineer jobs are open in San Francisco?

36 right now, across 27 venture-backed companies. The list comes from company job boards and refreshes several times a day, so it reflects what is genuinely open rather than a snapshot from last quarter.

What levels are hiring?

mid. Every role links through to the full description and the company behind it.

Do I have to apply to each one?

No. Drop your resume once, and we put a short list in front of you. Your name and resume reach a company only for the roles you mark interested, and we introduce you rather than adding you to an application pile.

Want these without checking a board.

Drop your resume once. We read it properly, put the roles that fit in front of you, and introduce you only where you say yes.
