Stealth Startup | NYC/Remote | Full-time/Part-time initially

I'm looking for a highly technical co-founder that wants to bootstrap a profitable company. My experience is 10+ years of SWE, most recently at Amazon. After that, I co-founded a venture backed startup as CTO.

The areas I am currently prospecting are:

1. AI for Human Resources Vertical SAAS.

The area is ripe for disruption, and I believe that in the coming decade a significant percentage of HR, particularly recruiting, will be automated. I have direct experience in this domain, for specific industries. As a result, I have a few highly specific practical ideas I want to rundown.

As for more about who I am looking for:

1. You are extremely technical across a number of areas: Front End, Cloud, AWS, Back End, Java, Typescript, Python, streaming, NextJS, agentic workflows.

2. You want to play a non-technical role in the beginning.

Distribution is everything, and so while I am a programmer at heart, I will spend the next few months prospecting the market, and attempting to sell different HR solutions into different vertical markets. I want to make a science out of testing the market, and then quickly execute on the technical product.

If this interests you, reach out!

I can be reached at ycapplicants@gmail.com

Thanks for pointing out that mistake!

We are hiring in all States. That limitation was incorrectly included. Thank you!

Not to mention the whole "record a video of you begging us for a job". I have no doubt that the first email (if they've deigned you worthy of their attention) will be "do this technical challenge and, if you pass, we'll give you a 15-minute intro call". The FAANG companies over-hiring and dumping hundreds of thousands of unemployed engineers (and other tangential fields) on the market has destroyed the industry.

We don't require a technical challenge prior to interview.

Happy to clarify for folks, thanks!

Piss off with that bullshit. He's right. Not to mention it's illegal under discrimination law.

It probably makes it easier for them to discriminate than without the video, but how is it directly more illegal under discrimination law than only hiring at in-person job fairs where you can see the same protected characteristics at the time of accepting a resume as can be seen in a video? Regardless, yes, it’s bullshit and harmful to equity in hiring. I’m certainly not defending it. Since we’re on a site run by YC,…

Understandable that there are a lot of thoughts on this and glad you pointed out that YC includes a brief video as part of the application - that's actually where we got the idea!

e.g. from the YC app "Founder Video Please record a one minute video introducing the founder(s).* Make sure the file does not exceed 100 MB. Read more about the video here."

We're looking to confirm that applicants can clearly and concisely communicate by describing something challenging they've done. Our goal is to efficiently find thoughtful applicants.

We're proud of our team, with folks from a variety of backgrounds. Clarity of thought is distributed across populations. :)

Olli Health | New York or Remote (US) | Full-Time | Founding Senior Full Stack SDE | www.ollihomehealth.ai

We are a TechStars NYC '24 startup dedicated to modernizing home healthcare with advanced AI tools and we are growing! This is a pivotal hands-on role that will begin shaping our product from day 1. We recently closed our Seed round from top healthtech and AI-focused VCs investors (Cannage Capital, Arkitekt Ventures, and Tau Ventures) and are using this financing to build a driven engineering team to build incredibly valuable tools.

What we’re looking for:

- Proven success in the fast-paced 0 to 1 early days of young startups (experience on founding team or pre-seed ideally). This is a full stack role in the widest sense - there is devops, a little data engineering, API design, workflow optimization, and frontend feature design. Work can be optimized based on your preferred balance, and what gives you energy, but we need someone who is able to gain confidence in the full stack.

- Experience (5 years+) with most of our stack: AWS, PostgreSQL, Redis, Python (FastAPI), Pytorch, React

- Able to demonstrate hands-on-keyboard coding chops. Role is primarily IC + collaboration with our team, and room to grow into startup leadership.

- Experience working with healthcare data (not required but highly valued)

Comp: $160k-$180k annual FTE base comp + equity package. We cover 100% of Health, Vision, Dental, Life insurance premiums.

I’m Olli's CTO and this position will work directly with me and our core (currently 3-person) engineering team. hiring+hn [] ollihomehealth [] ai - Email me with questions, for a full JD, or to send your CV. Absolutely no staffing or recruiting firms, individuals only.

> Folks with superficial knowledge in one of these areas are not encouraged to apply. Is this really necessary to call out? Why discourage candidates from applying?

To me this sounds pedantic, a good argument for a discretionary recruiting process and a good indicator of a bad interview/work experience. Why don't they instead try to define what superficial means? What do they expect from candidates in a way that can be measured? How many years of professional/research experience?
