## About the role

Y Combinator is building a new generation of products for the AI-native era — and we're hiring product engineers to build them. Some ship in the open to hundreds of thousands of developers (gstack, gbrain — already north of 130,000 GitHub stars between them). Some are proprietary products in their own right (Paxel). All of them start from the same belief: a single builder with the right tooling now ships like a team of twenty, and we intend to build the tools — and the platforms — that prove it.

## What they're looking for

- Nice to have - LLMs, prompt engineering, or agent-based systems - Open-source maintainership and community engagement - TypeScript, Postgres/pgvector, Rails, React (the stack our current products run on) - Retrieval, search, or knowledge-graph systems
- We care more about your ability to build and ship complete products than any specific stack
