What you'll do: - Product & Engineering (core responsibility) - Design, build, and ship full-stack web applications for partners, founders, and investors - Own features end-to-end: scoping, design, implementation, and iteration - Work across frontend, backend, and data layers to improve YC's post-batch and internal platforms (e.g., founder tools, analytics, workflow systems) - Make pragmatic engineering tradeoffs in a fast-moving, high-ownership environment - Investing & Analysis - Evaluate post-batch and growth-stage companies by analyzing business models, markets, teams, and operating metrics - Contribute to diligence efforts, including reviewing decks and data rooms, benchmarking KPIs, and conducting market or customer research - Build and maintain analytical tools, dashboards, or workflows that support investment decisions - Write clear, structured memos and analyses for partners and our Investment Committee This role is ideal for someone who: - Is a strong full-stack engineer and enjoys owning production software - Likes talking
