About this Role

As founding engineer at Headstarter, you are a full-stack generalist, meaning you’ll get a chance to work across the entire stack (frontend, backend, AI infrastructure, classic ML, devops). Given the compound nature of our product, we also tend to form short-lived teams around specific projects.

About Headstarter

Nearly all software engineering jobs will be impacted by AI during our lifetimes. At the same time, being able to speak, sell and code brilliantly is quickly becoming a must-have for employers.There has never been a better time to disrupt cs education from its core.

At Headstarter, we are building the “one-stop shop” ecosystem to boost every aspect of broken, archaic CS programs globally — cataloging top CS projects, leaning/upskilling new technologies, job/internship guarantees, interview preparation, industry mentors, team projects, networking, resume experience, support/debug, structure/environment, accountability — just to name a few. We are starting with an “accelerator” that spans 4-months and an AI recruiter that is working for over 30 startups hire for 100+ engineering roles.

Ultimately, our mission is to give future tech leaders direction, standardization, consistency and transparency.

We’re a lean, aggressive team of founders set on building a new generational incumbent in learning and recruiting. We’ve raised substantial funding from the best investors in our field such as the first software engineer at Applovin who worked there for 13 years (fastest growing public stock this year: 10x’d).

About the Team

Headstarter was founded by Yasin Ehsan and Faizan Ahmed— Capital One/6x overall hackathon winner and Amazon/published ML paper at age 19— alongside advisors like founders of Duolingo, Foursquare, CS 50 (David Malan) etc

We are nearing product-market fit and are building out our founding team very quickly. Reasons to join:

  • We have incredible market pull with summer fellowship “test” getting 60,000 applications from 135 countries in 5-weeks
  • We’re solving a difficult technical and “human” problem, which unlocks a massive market opportunity and enormous impact once solved
  • You’ll get to define the future of the company from the ground floor, alongside a world-class team
  • We work hybrid with offices in NYC/SF, but we hire from anywhere. We’ll pay to relocate you

Role responsibilities

  • Outlining the 0-to-1 of project requirements, goals, and roadmaps from customer problems
  • Wrangling a wide variety of cutting-edge agentic AI infrastructure
  • Leading end-to-end implementation to deliver fast, high-quality iterations to customers

Nice to Haves

  • Competing offers at other startups or 1-3 years experience working at startups full-time
  • Shipping a product to production gaining quick traction i.e $1000 dollars or 1000 users in 7 days
  • Understanding of UI/UX and obsessing over details in front-end and human empathy
  • Interest in re-defining cs curriculum and pedagogy with "super network" for gen-z

Tech stack

TypeScript / JS, Python (optional), React (optional)

Employee benefits

Medical / Dental Insurance

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
