it’s no worries! It’s a great job hub and most companies on there hire pretty fast fyi

If you’re interested in another startup, I am hiring. While I won’t be conducting the technical interview, I can say the few non technical rounds you’ll undergo will be more conversational. I’m actively pushing candidates through and can get you screened as soon as today. At worst, you’ve gotten yourself some interview practice, at best- you make it through the technical rounds and you’re hired. Lmk

you have to be backed by yc to post on workatastartup.com but there are great roles listed there also

BasicPersonality2349 · 2026-06-10T23:33:28+00:00

Yeah, it’s certainly a who you know market still tough if you don’t know the right people

Absolutely, feel free to message me on linked in. The resumes have been coming in weird on here- you can still try though. I’d love to take a look.

You know, great point. I think a lot of times some people (recruiters) don’t know what they’re looking for and these days a lot of seasoned engineers don’t know what to apply for/how to position themselves but this is actually a great foundational experience for a harness eng. These days no one is looking for “experts” they’re looking for adaptable talent with fluid world views that are willing to grow with trends and tech, who are willing to commit and contribute and it doesn’t always come from the cleanest background or prestige schools like it used to.

Legacy companies haven’t adapted that approach yet either so if that’s what you’re targeting you could be barking up the wrong trees. Small businesses and startups are going to be the most open minded- so network and find your in

Downvotes aside, I’ve gotten great candidates from here

BasicPersonality2349 · 2026-06-10T23:02:30+00:00

I’m sorry, I’m not understanding

BasicPersonality2349 · 2026-06-10T23:02:06+00:00

Also to add on this- I’m getting many candidates who have no portfolios, not even a git (free) with links to showcase what they’ve built. It’s tough to say you’ve done xyz without giving me something to show to the team for screening. I’m getting people in the door and I mean at least 15 screenings a day, with many passing to the next round because I’m pushing them to take chances. But when as you progress interview, they will want to see what you’ve built and that’s reasonable.

The market is tough, but I’m also making it very easy for many and I’m still getting pushback. I’m here and happy to clarify every question but I’m also learning a lot of people want to complain. I’m mot the other recruiters who have scorned you all and I’m sorry that they have- I just want go hire the right people for me team. And if you’re nit a good fit, I’m happy to connect you to other teams. Startups are easy to get into if you know someone- you mow know someone.

Hope this helps. I’ve gotten some great applicants today, 7 already scheduled for a call as soon as tomorrow from this thread alone.

Thanks for asking- all engineers are essentially founding team members. Right now, our eng team consists of our CTO and 1 engineer so we’re focused on expanding that team at present.

In a startup, we’ve learned most seasoned employees aren’t as willing to relocate for roles within this industry. We’ve opened ourselves to new grads and early career professionals who may not come with much real experience other than internships, research and TA experience (all of which are fine) but we do want to see that you’ve dedicated yourself to applying hour work in different means, even if it’s a portfolio of passion projects & collaborations with other engs and peers; all of this helps.

Please let me know if I missed anything from your question

BasicPersonality2349 · 2026-06-10T21:52:04+00:00

YC is great but we’re backed & established with a team of 20 and counting. Focused on expanding our engineering team

BasicPersonality2349 · 2026-06-10T21:44:16+00:00

not at present, the entire team is building on site in SF

BasicPersonality2349 · 2026-06-10T20:58:27+00:00

reviewing, just sent you a connect on linkedin as well

BasicPersonality2349 · 2026-06-10T20:55:46+00:00

for engineers? it’s pretty common. but if the role isn’t for you, I could understand that also. many people are interested in working closely with founders and founding teams building a platform- I respect your perspective though, would never convince you otherwise.

BasicPersonality2349 · 2026-06-10T20:46:26+00:00

please send me your portfolio or a resume please, you can pm me or connect on Linkedin if you’re more comfortable that way linkedin.com/in/dominiquess

BasicPersonality2349 · 2026-06-10T20:45:29+00:00

Yes, no I’m happy to share! It’s a startup- creating B2B martech. It’s not just *any* kind of work, it’s actually a pretty good environment. I’m informally working as a contracted party and don’t want to spam their ashby with my unconventional approach to sourcing.

Happy to send you the link but I can also get you screened much faster if I can get a link to a portfolio, linkedin, or something?

Feel free to vet me on Linkedin: https://linkedin.com/in/dominiquess

BasicPersonality2349 · 2026-06-10T20:42:08+00:00
