Description

About Yara Yara is building the future of finding work. Most hiring tools are stuck in the 90s and AI is making it worse, not better. More spam, more noise, more generic outreach that wastes everyone's time. We're reworking how people find their next role with one profile that actually shows your work, smart matching that puts you in front of the right companies, and a real person on the other side who cares about getting it right. We work with companies across AI, developer tools, consumer, fintech, and health tech, ranging from teams that have raised $1B+ with 3,000+ employees to earlier stage companies at $50M+ with 100+ employees. We've helped talent from Google, Apple, Palantir, Uber, and Ramp connect with companies like Vercel, Paraform, Abridge, and Parallel. About this role An early stage fintech company in the Yara Network is hiring its founding engineer.

You'd join as the founding engineer and build the product from zero with the founder: architecture, implementation, and the first version of the platform. There is no codebase, no team to inherit, no roadmap to follow. Strong equity is set aside for the first hires, and relocation is covered.
