We’re reimagining how users interact with SaaS products and looking for a founding engineer to help build the first version from zero alongside a founder with experience building at HubSpot, Asana, and Datadog.

Role

We are hiring a Founding Engineer with strong frontend, product, and design instincts. You will work directly with the founder to shape the product, prototype quickly, make architecture decisions, think through user problems, and turn an early thesis into a working product.

The ideal person is a builder — someone who can move from an ambiguous idea to prototype, from prototype to usable product, and from usable product to scalable architecture. You should be excited by the opportunity to change how users interact with software and, eventually, the internet itself.

What You’ll Build

You will help build the first version of our core product, including:

• An SDK powered by frontier AI models and modern product experience protocols
• Backend services with rules, resolution logic and intent inference
• Early prototypes that help us test different wedges with customers
• Production-ready systems as the product direction becomes clearer

This role will likely span React, TypeScript, Next.js, backend APIs, databases, event tracking, and AI-assisted workflows.

Required Experience

• 2–5 years of software engineering experience, or equivalent demonstrated ability
• Strong frontend engineering experience with React and TypeScript
• Ability to design clean, scalable frontend component architecture
• Experience with backend APIs and databases
• Experience taking ambiguous product ideas and turning them into working software

Strong Plus

• Experience building 0-to-1 products
• Experience at an early-stage startup
• Experience building SaaS products

What Success Looks Like

In the first 30 days, you will:

• Understand our thesis, target customer, and product direction
• Help refine the first product wedge
• Build and iterate on early prototypes
• Set up core frontend and backend foundations
• Move quickly across product, design, and engineering decisions

In the first 60–90 days, you will:

• Ship the first usable product prototype
• Help build demo experiences that clearly communicate the product vision
• Create the first version of the adaptive frontend architecture
• Help test the product with early users, customers, or design partners
• Identify what should become production-grade versus what should remain experimental

Leadership Opportunity

This is a founding role with significant upside.

For the right person, strong performance can lead to a leadership position as the company grows. We are looking for someone who can become a long-term technical and product partner — someone who can help build the first version, shape the architecture, hire future engineers, and potentially lead major parts of the engineering organization.

This is an opportunity to join at the earliest stage and help define both the product and the company.

Why Join

• Build from zero with high ownership
• Work directly with the founder
• Help create a new category of software
• Own meaningful technical decisions from day one
• Opportunity to join the leadership team as the company scales

TL;DR: Seeking a Growth Catalyst who is part GTM engineer, part brand creative — to design and own the PLG motion for both candidates and companies at Proof-of-Skill. This role is pivotal for our zero-to-one journey as we establish our founding team.

Proof-of-Skill is a verified hiring network where every candidate carries a proof stack (identity, experience, skill, education) and every match is earned, not gamed. our AI hiring agent Yoshi handles candidate intake, assessment, and coordination. organizations shortlist candidates based on Proof-of-Skill credentials — not resumes.

Qualifications and Skills:

• You have done B2B SaaS sales before. Plus points if you've done HR tech or marketplace sales before
• You can design the PLG flywheel for both sides of the network — candidates and companies — and execute it from scratch
• You are truth + insight seeking and can build a sharp understanding of the HR tech and hiring market
• You can automate outbound, nurture, and onboarding workflows using Clay, Apollo, n8n — no engineers required
• You can create content that performs — posts, short-form video, brand campaigns, founder-voice — and lead brand strategy end-to-end

If you've previously taken a SaaS product from zero to first 100 paying customers, that's a huge plus

Responsibilities:

• Design and own the PLG loop — figure out how candidates and companies pull each other into the network, then build the system that scales it
• Get the next 500 companies onto Proof-of-Skill
• Build and run outbound + inbound sequences; own pipeline from first touch to closed
• Create the collateral that makes a cold company say yes — one-pagers, case studies, demo flows, explainers
• Lead brand strategy — own the voice, aesthetic, and positioning across all channels
• Discover the right GTM fit via continuous + rapid iteration; kill what doesn't work, double what does

Ideal Candidate Traits:

• Systems thinker — every manual thing you do twice becomes an automation
• Sharp creative with a point of view on brand; can write a post and brief a designer and knows the difference
• Exceptional communication, storytelling, and presentation skills
• Ability to navigate complex sales cycles and negotiate contracts
• High agency is not a trait for you, it's a baseline — you find a way or you find a different way
• Entrepreneurial mindset is a must; if it's only on your resume, we'll know
