Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.
What they're looking for
- 8+ years of experience building software in startup-like environments
- Passion for building with users, not just for them—you’re comfortable joining user interviews, shadowing onboarding, or jumping into metrics
- Clear, asynchronous communication skills — especially important in our distributed environment
- Proven ability to prioritize ruthlessly, ship continuously, and solve problems creatively
- Appetite for wearing many hats, operating with autonomy, and solving messy first-time problems
- Comfort and curiosity using AI tools (e.g., GitHub Copilot, ChatGPT, Code Interpreter, Claude, etc.) to boost speed, reduce toil, and elevate quality
