We are a people-first, boutique tech agency creating on-demand teams and software solutions for long-standing clients, who trust us to practice engineering excellence as though we were members of their own staff. Our leadership team is ex-Fortune 100, with software engineering backgrounds and who are still coding. Notable recent projects include internal tools for Anduril, and the original buildout (both auction site and operations infrastructure) of Voltage Park. This is a remote-first agency, but some projects involve onsite work.
I’m the founder and CEO, and I’m trying to do what I call “enlightened business”. I take responsibility for both staff and clients, and I look for people who approach their work with a similar sense of ownership.
Applicants must meet a high bar - I personally review every hire. In return you’ll get:
* Flexibility and a low-bureaucracy environment
* Clients that won’t treat the vendor like “the B Team”
* The chance to act as a code architect, not just implement tickets
* Exposure to a wide variety of industries and modern challenges
* Me as your personal champion and advocate
We’re currently especially seeking:
Back-end, Front-end, and Full-Stack Software Engineers, Tiers 3 and 4 (Typescript/Javascript, React, NextJS; Ruby on Rails; Python; DevOps, and third-party API integrations)
Our Tier 3 ("mid-tier") roles are typically 5-10 years experience with $150-$180K total annual comp.
Our Tier 4 ("senior") roles are 11-20 years experience, $215-$260K total annual comp.
(Higher tiers exist, and we always welcome exceptional applications.)
Though not yet universal, many of our clients are now demanding senior/staff engineers with success using modern agentic approaches. Be ready to explain where current models work well and where they do not.

I'm very interested in this position but living in Europe, is there any chance I could still apply for this?
Thanks.

Preferred Networks is an AI company based in Tokyo working across the stack, from AI chips and computing infrastructure to LLMs and products. You may already know us indirectly if you've used software we've built, such as Optuna or CuPy (or Chainer, back in the day).
We are designing in-house chips (MN-Core series: https://mn-core.com/) and training LLMs (PLaMo series: https://huggingface.co/pfnet), and our team is actively hiring for two roles related to these endeavors:
- MN-Core LLM Serving Engine Engineer: Build software infrastructure to serve LLMs using our upcoming inference accelerator, MN-Core L1000. [Apply here: https://open.talentio.com/r/1/c/preferred/pages/121580]
- LLM Inference Optimization Engineer: Improve the inference engine powering our API service and maintain PLaMo implementations in open source projects such as vLLM. [Apply here: https://open.talentio.com/r/1/c/preferred/pages/119173]
Both roles require relocation to Japan. We are happy to provide visa and relocation support.
I'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.
We build the software behind YC'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't you build to help founders + YC with that much firepower?
What makes this different from other roles:
* You'd learn more about startups here than you could possibly imagine. Every batch brings hundreds of founders building things across every industry, and you're right in the middle of it.
* We attend Demo Day, founder dinners, and work directly with partners and many of the companies. (They make great products!)
* We pay well, offer carry in the fund (like equity), and provide generous relocation support if you're not in SF yet.
Two roles open:
* Product Engineer -- full-stack, own the product lifecycle. Rails/React stack. Build tools that power how YC invests in and supports startups. It'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.
* Community Builder and Software Engineer -- hybrid role. Run YC'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.
We're also exploring a Technical Chief of Staff role to work with one of our GPs -- someone who can think analytically, drive operations, and scale what they do with software.
