About MangoDesk

MangoDesk — Accelerate custom evals and post-training data creation. Backed by Y Combinator.

About the role

We're a YC-backed startup on a mission to bridge the gap between AI and the $5T knowledge work economy through cutting-edge data infrastructure and environments. We're a technical team with experience from Scale AI, Uber, and previously founding a successful AI company. We're based in San Francisco, CA, and recently raised an oversubscribed seed round led by top-tier VCs. Lead cross-functional projects spanning engineering, operations, and go-to-market.

What they're looking for

  • Strong technical background — a CS degree is ideal, at minimum, the ability to do data analytics using SQL or Python
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to own ambiguous, cross-functional projects end-to-end, balancing speed vs quality
  • An entrepreneurial mindset — excited to build things from scratch
  • Strong communication skills and a bias toward ownership
  • 2+ years leading a team, developing product or operational processes, or as a SWE
  • Prior experience at startups / high-growth companies, in consulting, or tackling operational challenges
