Must be NYC-based or open to relocating for an onsite-first culture
The Benefits:
As a Founding Engineer, you’ll receive a $150,000 - $250,000 salary plus a performance-based bonus, along with equity. You'll also help shape the future of a company with massive upside, clear product-market fit, and a team ready to move fast.
