Hiroic Founding Software Engineer
Full Time $125,000 - $165,000 / yearJob Overview
Help Redefine How Every Company Hires. Build the Product That Fixes Hiring at the Source.
Most hiring processes start with dusty job descriptions. Hiroic starts at the beginning.
We believe the biggest problem in hiring isn’t broken applicant tracking systems or bad filtering. It’s role clarity. Teams rarely agree on what they’re hiring for, so even the best candidates fail. Hiroic is the AI hiring expert that aligns teams, defines roles with precision, and replaces chaos with clarity and confidence.
The prototype is live, design partners are testing, and investors are backing us. The demand is real. Now we need a founding engineer to join the Hiroic team, build on the foundation we’ve laid, and take the product to the next level.
This isn’t a role where tasks are handed to you. You’ll inherit decisions and structures already in place, collaborate with the Gitwit team, and then branch off to lead technical growth, architecture, and future hires.
Why You? Why Now?
- Founding seat with support: You’ll be the technical cornerstone of Hiroic, shaping the product and its technical direction, but not starting from scratch.
- 0→1 stage with a foundation: The prototype works, early customers are validating it, and you’ll scale it into a product teams can’t live without.
- Big problem, bold solution: Nearly half of new hires fail within 18 months because of role misalignment. Hiroic fixes that.
- Venture-backed: You’ll have financial runway, traction, and studio support from 19days to move fast.
What You’ll Be Doing:
- Own the stack: From backend APIs to frontend interfaces, you’ll architect and scale Hiroic’s core platform.
- Ship fast, iterate faster: Translate messy role conversations into clean, testable product features.
- Embed AI with purpose: Build and deploy LLM-powered features that don’t just add hype, but deliver clarity for hiring teams.
- Stay close to users: Work directly with design partners, customers, and the founding team to refine the product.
- Partner with Gitwit: Work closely with the Gitwit team to leverage existing knowledge, frameworks, and practices so you’re not starting from scratch.
- Define technical culture: Set engineering practices, pick frameworks, and influence future hires.
What We’re Looking For:
- 4+ years of full-time development experience as a professional full-stack software engineer.
- Extensive experience in TypeScript, using React for frontend and NestJS for backend.
- Comfortable designing schemas for relational databases, writing and optimizing SQL queries, managing migrations, and working with ORMs like Prisma.
- Proven ability to build and ship production-grade apps in cloud environments (AWS or equivalent).
- Experience in integrating LLMs/AI APIs into user-facing products.
- Collaborative experience working with diverse teams, not just other developers.
- The ability to think in terms of users, outcomes, and value, not just features.
- Appetite for ambiguity, iteration, and building from scratch.
Bonus Points if you’ve:
- Worked in an early-stage startup or founding team.
- Built or contributed to HR/recruiting tools.
- Scaled AI-powered features in real products.
- Developed a knack for balancing speed with quality and technical debt.
