Full Job Description
TL;DR: We're looking for founding engineers to help us build human-focused security tech, reinvent skill-based interviewing, and transform how the the $4T+ contingent workforce industry operates

What You'll Do:
  • Define the new standard of technical interviewing that retires LeetCode and transforms how companies evaluate talent
  • Use AI to detect fraud, identify patterns in candidate performance, and accelerate the hiring process

Who You Are:
  • You want to solve problems end-to-end and own what you build
  • You're proficient in modern full-stack development (React, Node.js, Python, or similar) and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
  • You're highly technical with strong coding fundamentals and a bias toward quality
  • You're comfortable in a fast-moving, high-performance startup environment

Why Ropes:
  • Early impact: Join at the exact inflection point-past product-market fit, before scaling takes over
  • Ownership: As one of the first engineering hires, you'll shape technical decisions and own critical systems

This is an on-site role in New York City - designed for builders who want to change how the world hires talent.
