Y Combinator | Product Engineers on YC&#x27;s own team | San Francisco | Full Time | $185K-$485K<p>I&#x27;m Ryan, an EM and engineer here at YC. We have a small, 18-person software team with no PMs -- engineers own everything end-to-end.<p>We build the software behind YC&#x27;s $6B in investments: tools that help partners evaluate thousands of startups per batch, AI-powered apps that founders use every day, and platforms like Work at a Startup that connect candidates with YC companies. Engineers get unlimited AI tokens -- both for development and to build AI-powered products. What wouldn&#x27;t you build to help founders + YC with that much firepower?<p>What makes this different from other roles:<p>* You&#x27;d learn more about startups here than you could possibly imagine. Every batch brings hundreds of founders building things across every industry, and you&#x27;re right in the middle of it.<p>* We attend Demo Day, founder dinners, and work directly with partners and many of the companies. (They make great products!)<p>* We pay well, offer carry in the fund (like equity), and provide generous relocation support if you&#x27;re not in SF yet.<p>Two roles open:<p>* Product Engineer -- full-stack, own the product lifecycle. Rails&#x2F;React stack. Build tools that power how YC invests in and supports startups. It&#x27;s a wide range, and sometimes it feels like labs-like work, other times it feels like a supersuit to power founders and our Partners like Garry and Jared.<p>* Community Builder and Software Engineer -- hybrid role. Run YC&#x27;s talent-facing programs (meetups, tech talks, career expos) AND build the software that makes them scale. You need to be a great engineer and LOVE to build and support communities.<p>Checkout more about the roles, and email me directly if you&#x27;re excited to learn more about startups than you will anywhere else - ryan@ycombinator.com<p><a href="https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ycombinator.com&#x2F;careers">https:&#x2F;&#x2F;www.ycombinator.com&#x2F;careers</a>
