The Role Senior Software Engineer (Stealth & Series A/B)

1821 Talent Group is a direct placement firm representing a curated portfolio of high-growth technology startups in the Bay Area. We specialize in connecting "Ex-FAANG" caliber engineering talent with Series A and Series B companies solving complex problems in AI Infrastructure, Autonomous Systems, and Scalable Backend Architecture.

We are currently pipelining Senior and Staff Engineers for multiple active searches with well‑funded engineering teams.

The Opportunity Most engineers leave Big Tech for startups to find two things: Impact and Ownership. The roles we represent offer both. You will move away from maintenance work and incremental updates to focus on 0-to-1 builds and architectural scaling.

What We Are Looking For

Experience:

5+ years of software engineering experience, ideally within high-scale environments or technically rigorous startups.

Technical Stack:

Proficiency in modern backend languages (Python, Go, C++, or Rust) and experience with cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP, Kubernetes).

System Design:

Strong grasp of distributed systems, concurrency, and low-latency architecture.

Domain Knowledge:

Bonus points for experience in Embedded Systems, ML Infrastructure, or Real‑Time Data streaming.

Why Work With 1821 Talent Group?

Zero Noise:

We are not a volume agency. We only present opportunities that match your specific technical bar and career goals.

Direct Access:

We work directly with Founders and VPs of Engineering, ensuring your profile skips the "resume black hole."

Calibration:

Founded by an Ex-Meta and Google sourcing leader, we understand the difference between a "good" engineer and a "great" one, and we advocate for your value accordingly.

Next Steps If you are open to exploring the startup landscape but want to ensure you land in a high-signal engineering culture, apply here. We will review your profile and reach out for a calibration call if there is a match with our current portfolio.

Compensation Compensation: $180k–$240k Base Salary + Significant Early-Stage Equity Package. (Ranges vary based on Seniority and Series Stage of the client partner).
