## About the role

At Shaper Capital, we're on a mission to partner with incredible people to build companies that shape the world. We're the company-building engine of Travis May, who co-founded and led the two largest data exits of the last 20 years: LiveRamp (NYSE: RAMP, $200M+ revenue) and Datavant ($7B merger with Ciox). Now he's applying that playbook to solve data fragmentation across every major industry, from healthcare to national security to supply chain to AI. Found on 1752vc Careers, the job board for startup and VC roles.

## What they're looking for

- You have strong generalist engineering experience — you've built and shipped real products, ideally as an early engineering hire (employee #1-10) at a startup or in another 0-to-1 capacity
- You move fluidly across the stack, pick things up quickly, and execute ruthlessly
- You're entrepreneurial, love working closely with customers, take ownership without waiting to be told, and bring scrappy energy to your work
- You make quick, thoughtful calls that balance short-term speed with long-term health
- You’re comfortable using AI-assisted development (Copilot, Cursor, Claude Code, or similar) to move fast and iterate quickly, without sacrificing sound judgment on what ships
- You align with our motto of hiring people who are smart, nice, and get things done
