Founding Fullstack Engineer

Overview: The hiring process today pulls talent teams in too many directions, leaving them unable to fully engage with candidates or connect with enough of them. Much of their time is spent on administrative backend tasks, rather than focusing on what they do best: building relationships and identifying top talent.

This inefficiency affects everyone—companies, candidates, and recruiters themselves, who know they could make a greater impact with more time and focus.

We built Elly because we believe recruiters should focus on recruiting, not transcribing. Every recruiter deserves the support of an AI-driven assistant to enhance, not replace, their conversations. We're building a platform that streamlines recruiting workflows and is on its way to becoming an essential tool for talent acquisition teams and search firms. Our beta product is already in the hands of hundreds of recruiters, showing strong adoption, a promising product-led growth (PLG) motion, and solid retention just months into launch.

We’re seeking a product-driven, founding engineer to join our team. As a core member of our team, you will not only bring a track record of engineering expertise, but will also be a driver of projects and features that build into our product strategy and vision, finding and executing opportunities that have not explicitly been “assigned”.

As one of our founding engineer, you'll help us deliver best-in-class software at start-up speed. With a test-and-learn mindset, you’ll architect solutions that are continuously improved through direct user feedback. Working directly with the founder, you'll lead our engineering efforts to develop software that improves the hiring process for candidates, recruiters, and hiring managers. 

Our Tech Stack: Next.js (Typescript), OpenNext, AWS (CDK), DynamoDB, Lambda, S3, EventBridge, CloudWatch

This role is based in NYC and is hybrid in-office/remote.

• In your first six months on the job you’ll have:
• Understood the company’s vision, goals, business model, and the challenges that our customers face.
• Worked closely with our pilot users to solve their problems through elegant technical solutions.
• Defined the medium-term technical strategy with a keen focus on incorporating business needs, user feedback, and the inherent flexibility required in an early stage-startup.
• Led the release of the minimum viable product by working throughout the stack - backend, frontend, and infrastructure, with an emphasis on backend development.
• Developed a data engineering strategy to synthesize data from disparate sources into an analysis ready state.
• Made key improvements to our underlying infrastructure, and laid out the medium term architecture roadmap.
• Identified practical use cases to take advantage of recent breakthroughs in Large Language Models (LLMs) and related technology as a first principle.
• Helped recruit additional technical team members to form a world-class, collaborative team.
• Established technical culture by setting best practices and norms.
• Led the release of subsequent versions of the product, with a focus on third-party data integrations, to unblock new business and enable growth.

• 5-7+ yrs of total full time software development experience.
• Experience with scripting languages (ex. Python) and automation tools.
• Experience with integration and tooling software.
• Familiarity with cloud-based computing platforms (ex. AWS, Google Cloud).
• Experience with multiple database management systems.
• Strong problem-solving, debugging, and analytical skills with great attention to detail.
• 0->1 startup experience, ideally with a Pre-seed / Seed / Series A company

We are focused on building a diverse and inclusive workforce. If you’re excited about this role, but do not meet 100% of the qualifications listed above, we encourage you to apply.
