Feanix Autopilot combines whole-genome sequencing, DairyComp, EZfeed, milk checks, feed costs, health records, and real farm performance data into one prediction engine that prices every cow on your economics — not the industry average. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
You can apply to either team or let us match you during the process. Each team operates as a PM/EM pair: your product counterpart owns what to build, you own how it gets built and who builds it.
What they're looking for
- 3+ years managing software engineers, having reached a senior engineering level as an IC first. You have been deep enough development to lead it credibly as AI reshapes it
- A track record of growing engineers you can point to: people you hired, coached through hard stretches, and promoted
- Experience hiring in a high-growth environment — building a team while the org scaled
- Experience building team processes and quality/testing practices from scratch or near it — you've done this at a stage where nothing existed yet, not just inherited a working machine
- Fluency with goal-setting and measurement frameworks, and the judgment to fit the framework to the team rather than the reverse
- Demonstrated conflict-resolution skill. You have examples where you turned a struggling team dynamic around
More about this role
Feanix is rebuilding animal breeding from the genome up.
We’re a YC-backed startup using whole-genome sequencing and custom ML models to help dairy farmers make better breeding and herd management decisions. Our technology is genuinely novel: we can sequence a full genome from a single hair at a fraction of traditional industry costs, our models achieve ~90% prediction accuracy on traits where existing approaches sit closer to ~30%, and we’re pioneering farm-specific genomic predictions that turn genetics into practical, actionable decisions.
That technology is translating into real adoption. In a short time, we’ve grown to serve roughly 1% of the U.S. dairy industry — and reached $10M+ in ARR, with significant demand still ahead of us. We’re backed by Initialized Capital, General Catalyst, Collaborative Fund, Overwater Ventures, North South Ventures, and Y Combinator.
We started with dairy because our founders grew up on dairy farms and understand firsthand the problems we’re solving. But genetics is foundational to every agricultural industry, and dairy is only the beginning.
We’re building Feanix with a small, high-caliber team where people have meaningful ownership and work...
