Y Combinator created a new model for funding early stage startups. Four times a year we invest in a large number of startups. Backed by Y Combinator.
About the role
Y Combinator is hiring a full-stack product engineer to work at the center of how YC operates — from the application pipeline to events and internal tools. This role sits at the intersection of engineering, product, and operations. You’ll spend most of your time building production software for both internal teams and founders, while also helping design and improve the processes those tools support. At its core, this role is about turning operational complexity into well-designed software.
What they're looking for
- Experience shipping full-stack web applications
- Strong system design and independent decision-making
- Strong product sense and comfort designing user experiences
- Ability to work directly with non-technical stakeholders
- Clear communication skills
- High judgment and integrity
