Ready to make your application Please do read through the description at least once before clicking on Apply. This range is provided by Startup Resources. Your actual pay will be based on your skills and experience — talk with your recruiter to learn more. Base pay range $200,000.00/yr - $250,000.00/yr We're hiring a Founding Architect to join a stealth-stage startup backed by South Park Commons, Homebrew, and top-tier angel investors. This is a true ground-floor opportunity to build from scratch alongside two experienced founders who’ve scaled products to millions in ARR at Meta, Airtable, and Yelp. You’ll be their first technical hire, with full ownership of architecture, product direction, and long-term impact. Who You Are You’re the kind of person who’s considered starting your own company but haven’t yet found the right idea, co-founder, or timing. Maybe you’ve explored joining a very early-stage startup but decided the risk-reward ratio wasn’t quite right. We get it (and agree) that early employees are critical to a company’s success and are often undervalued. That’s why we’re offering top-of-market equity (5x the median) and base compensation in the top 10% of the market. We don’t think this is generous. We think it’s fair. What You’ll Do Ship 0–1 product features with real users from day one Work across the stack (production experience with Typescript preferred) Define both the technical and product vision Build tooling that helps product teams prioritise smarter, not just ship faster Requirements You’ve stuck with your current or previous company for at least 2 years, as we’re looking for builders who commit You’ve led teams or projects as a tech lead You’ve shipped high-quality 0–1 products to users Process We move fast but thoughtfully. The process includes: Two screening interviews (one remote, one in person) focused on real-world problem solving — no prep required A paid work trial: ideally 2+ days working together on a real-world project in Typescript or Python If you’re looking to help define a product, a company, and a culture — and want to be rewarded like a founder — we’d love to talk.
