Description

Software Engineer - Founder Accelerator Infrastructure Location: New York City (Non-Negotiable Onsite/Relocation Required) Compensation: $180K - $260K We are the leading accelerator for crypto founders, having backed over 300 startups that are now collectively valued at over $10 billion .

We are a small, high-trust, high-performance team of builders (ex-Meta, YC, Coinbase, and founders) backed by S-tier investors.

We are hiring a Software Engineer to join our in-house engineering team and own features from requirements definition through production launch.

Reporting directly to the CTO, you will be a product-minded, hands-on Individual Contributor who owns the delivery of core products end-to-end.

This means turning ambiguous problems into high-quality, shipped software that directly accelerates the next generation of top crypto and AI founders.

What you'll do: Own products end-to-end: From discovery and definition through implementation, launch, and iteration Write production-grade TypeScript across the full stack (React/Next.js on the front-end; Node.js on the back-end) Build and maintain critical internal tools that improve the speed and efficiency of our team Ship features across our external sites and web applications, including our founder portal (Space) and public marketing surfaces Craft polished UIs with React, contributing components and patterns back to our internal component library Integrate third-party APIs (auth, payments, email) and own data models, caching, and performance optimization Raise the bar on engineering quality through thorough code reviews, CI/CD improvements, and a focus on reliability and accessibility Requirements Product-Minded Builder: Proven ability to turn ambiguous business problems into shipped software without a dedicated PM or designer Deep Stack Experience: Deep expertise with TypeScript, React, and Node.js UX/UI Taste: A keen sense for UX/UI, including the ability to sketch flows or lightweight wireframes before beginning development High-Agency IC: Hands-on individual contributor (IC) orientation with a strong ownership bias—you set priorities, move fast, and sweat the details Mindset: Extremely high-agency, entrepreneurial, and self-driven Modern Tooling: Comfortable using modern AI tools to move faster and increase productivity Location: NYC-based or willing to relocate to New York City (non-negotiable) Preferred Qualifications (Nice-to-Haves): Familiarity with Next.js and a modern database (e.g., Postgres/Prisma) A standout GitHub profile with notable open-source projects or meaningful contributions A design-engineering portfolio showcasing polished UI work and component systems Prior experience as a Founder or early team member of a VC-backed startup Experience as an SWE at a category-defining tech company (e.g., Meta, Stripe, OpenAI) Note on Culture: This role demands focus, hunger, and a career-defining level of commitment.

Everyone on our small team is a hands-on builder, not a manager.

Low agency candidates will not succeed.
