Founding Engineer

As the first full-time engineering hire on the team, there’s no shortage of opportunities to own large projects and deliver value to customers immediately. As such, we’re seeking an entrepreneurial engineer who finds joy in making product decisions and owning the solutions.

This is a unique opportunity to be a high-impact, early member of the Hadrius team. As our first eng hire, you'll immediately play a critical role in building up the features that our customers and prospects are asking for. Longer term, you'll be managing your own team and building up the infrastructure that will scale Hadrius from its first handful of customers to its first thousand. You won’t be micromanaged or in constant meetings - we’re focused first and foremost on empowering each other to do our best work, and are flexible in the process to get there.

Outcomes

• Become familiar with the core problems Hadrius solves, our ICP, our value proposition, the Hadrius platform, pricing structure, and roadmap.

Meet the team

We have a strong "revenue-first" culture across our sales and engineering functions. Up until now, the engineering team has been founders only and we’re looking forward to hiring our first extension to the engineering team. As a growing team, we push each other to do our best work. In execution, this means you might be reviewing customer calls together with the sales team, and collaborating with the rest of the team to set product priorities. As a fast-growing company, we find joy in dealing with new problems and ambiguity everyday.

We’re a tight knit and easy going group with big ambitions. We take our work seriously but always find time to share a laugh and get to know each other on a personal level. The team is largely remote, but our main office is in New York City on Wall Street. We will frequently get together - either in NYC, or SF, or at a week long Airbnb in some cool location, to work together in-person every 4-6 weeks. Outside of those times, you’re welcome to use the office any time or work from home.

To date, we've raised $2.5M from Y Combinator, Lynett Capital, and Singularity Capital among others.
