Founding Software Engineer Tech Lead at Hadrius | Y Combinator
www.ycombinator.comThis is a full-time role to be a Founding Software Engineer and Technical Lead, located onsite in New York, NY.
About you
You have concrete career goals. We expect you to help us hit our goals, so you also expect us to help you reach yours - without clear goals, there’s a fundamental misalignment for success.
You move fast and expect your teammates to move quickly too. We’ve entered a phase of growth where there is more work to do than there are people to do it - this means everyone on the team will be extremely busy, but there are also countless opportunities to grow personally and make progress towards your goals.
You have a high quality bar for your work. As we scale our teams and customer base up, the expectations of our software rises with it.
You’re looking for teammates, not coworkers - folks you can lean on to help make your goals possible while at Hadrius, and beyond.
