If you're interested in learning more about startups, Y Combinator is hiring for a full-stack Product Engineer. Working at YC probably is one of the best ways to learn about startups. Everyone on the team gets to participate in the YC programming -- dinners, talks, and more. You'll get a unique vantage point to learn about startups, and to write software that has helped companies like Airbnb, Stripe, and Instacart exist.
We're a team of 10 full-stack product engineers and have a pretty broad range of experiences -- from bigger companies like FB and Google, as well as former YC founders ourselves. Our stack is pretty straightforward (Rails, React, Postgres), but the last three engineers have learned it on the job. True to YC advice, our product engineers talk to our customers regularly (in our case, it's mostly founders) and ship fast. We also define our own roadmap. You won't be building software to scale to millions of users, but you'll be talking 1-1 with lots of founders to build stuff they need to help build and grow their companies, and that's a different kind of reward.
In particular, we're hiring for the Startup School team. This is an opportunity to help the formation of early-stage companies, including co-founder matching, online curriculum and resources, and tools to help you build your startup.
If working on YC's software team and helping great startups sounds interesting at all, please apply. Looking forward to hearing from you!
