The posting

About the role

Success Matcher Recruitment is partnering with our client, the leading shared housing platform that has cracked the code on co-living and is poised for nationwide scale, to hire an entrepreneurial Founding Product Engineer in San Francisco.

As the third engineering hire, you will work directly with the CTO and Backend Lead to own the "last mile" of product delivery. You will take new products from concept to launch end-to-end. This is a role for a hungry, product-minded builder who leverages modern AI tools, moves fast, and wants to shape the front-end architecture of a platform expanding 5-10x in the coming years.

What You Will Do

  • Own UI Delivery: Build intuitive, high-impact interfaces for our client's core products given REST APIs and business requirements.
  • Drive Product Decisions: Collaborate directly with leadership and stakeholders to discover user problems, internalize business contexts, and build solutions independently.
  • Shape Design & APIs: Partner with backend engineers on API contracts while owning front-end design and implementation (leveraging AI design tools like Claude Design).
  • Expand Scope Over Time: Grow into full-stack feature ownership, React Native mobile app development, and product marketing initiatives.

What You Bring

  • Experience: 3+ years of software engineering experience with a strong focus on building sharp, user-centric interfaces in TypeScript and React ecosystems.
  • Mindset: Entrepreneurial and product-obsessed. You have to think deeply about business and user problems, not just the code you ship.
  • AI-First Approach: Enthusiastic about using AI-assisted development tools (Cursor, Copilot, Claude) to move fast and bridge design gaps.
  • Presence: Excited to work collaboratively in person 5 days a week in the Financial District, San Francisco.

Why Join?

  • Ownership: Meaningful equity (0.3%+) in a proven, high-growth platform.
  • Strong Backing: Raised $13M from top-tier investors.
  • Financial Health: Strong fundamentals with 7-figure ARR and contribution margin-positive profitability.
  • Growth: Direct path to leadership and massive ownership as the engineering team scales.

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.
