Why would you want to work at YC? Well, the short of it is that you’d get unprecedented insight into how companies are started – with access to all the talks, constantly being around founders, and working directly with YC Group Partners. Our GPs are possibly the 12 most knowledgeable people in the world about starting companies. You’d be hard pressed to work here and NOT learn something new about startups every day – which might be helpful if you’re interested in starting a company yourself.
Software also touches everything YC does. When I went through YC in 2013, the core pieces of the YC batch were a dinner each week, a 1-1 with your group partner, and an end-of-batch Demo Day event to raise money. Today, YC offers so many software tools to help founders build their companies, including:
Demo Day website, which has helped founders raise $3B+ over the last 3 years Work at a Startup, where 1000s of companies have hired from a pool of 1M+ job seekers Bookface, a tool for YC founders to support and help each other build their companies
YC software runs kind of like a startup: we have a small engineering team (15 people) full of full-stack software developers (Rails, React, Postgres) who talk to our users, ship fast and iterate often. YC’s great for people who like to move fast and learn quickly. As a member of our team, you’d work with and learn from some pretty experienced people who were early at Facebook, Carta, Salesforce, Twilio and other top companies.
Many of us have also been founders, and seven former employees have gone on to start startups that were funded by YC. If you want to start a startup but don’t have a great idea yet, we welcome you to spend a couple years here to learn, and then launch your own. On the flip side, if you can see yourself writing code indefinitely, we’d love to keep you happy here at YC for a long time. Either one works for us.
Building software at YC isn’t for everyone – YC’s real product is the Batch program and the Group Partners’ advice and help for the life of your startup. Our software team is often in the background, helping scale YC’s ability to help more companies, and in a way that means more 1-1 attention and support for each founder. What keeps me motivated is continuing to scale and improve YC through software, and getting to work with some of the most kind and talented people of my 20+ year career.
If you have questions, I would love to answer them here. (It would help me understand how I can make our role & work more clear!) And if this resonates with you, shoot me an email with what you’d most be excited to work on (job descriptions below) – ryan@ycombinator.com

You're reading HN, why not come build software at Y Combinator itself! We are a small independent team of experienced engineers who try to make being funded by YC a great experience for founders. If the idea of designing software to help startups and the YC group partners sounds interesting to you, please reach out!
We work in Ruby on Rails, with a React/Typescript frontend. We move quickly and autonomously, and while we're not exactly doing rocket science (although we fund it), we're always experimenting with ways to make the YC batch better.
YC has excellent compensation and benefits (see more in the formal job description below). The team and the work life balance are great. About half of us are former founders and many of us are parents. And if you’re curious about startups (and possibly starting one someday), this job gives you amazing access to interact with YC’s programs, partners, and founders.

Hi everyone. We are Costa, and we are building the next generation of network security.
>> who we are
At Costa, we believe in a world where it is easy to share information with good actors, and easy to protect it from bad ones. And we need help from great people to get there.
Our founding team has gone from garage to IPO before. We have experience at big companies (Amazon/Meta) and small. We are remote today, but have a preference for people near us (Bay Area/Chicago). We may not be fully remote in the future. We are early in our journey. We are backed by some great VCs. Now is an exciting time to join.
>> what we do
We are building an infrastructure as code network security platform that runs everywhere. We help our customers easily move their compute between clouds, data centers, the edge by making networking and security understandable, repeatable and seamless.
Our first product gives network and security teams a single, seamless interface to deploy, configure and manage complex hybrid overlay networks and security services running within those networks.
>> seeking great people
We are hiring our first product engineers. We are built on a modern stack: Ruby/Rails + StimulusJS, Golang, Python, Docker, Terraform, Packer and Wireguard. We are looking for backend, frontend and SRE/Devops engineers. Ideally people are familiar with networking and security concepts. Help build our engineering culture, one that embraces mutual respect, shared responsibility and continuous curiosity, and prizes an intellectual honesty that fosters both confidence and humility.
- Lead Platform Engineer - Design and build the Costa Platform Control Plane (Rails+). The Control Plane is responsible for deploying, scaling and managing a distributed mesh of software defined networking (SDN) controllers
- Product Engineer - focus on dev & client tools - build out our CLI in Golang, API SDKs etc.

* Who are we? *
Brightbook is a publishing platform for educational content, consisting of an in-house editor and interactive learning environment. It caters to schools as well as universities and learning and development professionals. It is built in the historic city of Bruges by a small and dedicated team that aims to provide both instructors and students with better tools and ways to experience their course material.For our engineering team we are looking to hire one or more software engineers, both junior and senior, to help develop the software side of our platform. We are growing at an ever increasing speed which provides us with numerous interesting challenges to tackle and opportunities to make a meaningful difference.
* What are we looking for? *
We are looking for talented developers who have at least some experience with React and its ecosystem (Typescript, Plate, Vite, …) but are not afraid to do some work in the backend as well (Ruby/Rails in our case). As a rule, we put more value in mindset and attitude than experience with a specific stack. So if you have worked with other web technologies, such as Svelte or Vue, we’d still love to talk. It is important to note, however, that, since we are working in the Flemish educational market, we do expect you to speak Dutch or are in the process of learning Dutch. Beyond that, we’d just love to have a chat to paint a broader picture and listen to what you can bring to the table!
* What do we offer? *
It goes without saying that you’d receive a competitive salary and all the social benefits you’d expect from a developer position. Beyond that, we offer a mix of remote work and working from our office in the city center of Bruges. We will also supply you with any development material you may need (Macbook, software, …). If you have any strong desires, we’d love to hear them as well. We really are invested in finding the right fit and making sure you enjoy working for our company for a long while!
* Interested? *

The world of CPG and food manufacturing is both fascinating and complex. Today, when a new food brand starts to take off (think “startup” but for something like a hot sauce), they spend 12-18 months establishing a partnership with a manufacturer to produce their product at scale. The pain point is so high, they typically pay consultants $60k to solve the problem. Our cofounder (former Dir of Ops @ Trader Joes) did this as a consultant and now we are turning her expertise into software. We are building a mix of a marketplace + Turbotax style functionality to bring automation and scalability to the industry. With great traction and paying customers, we just closed a $2M seed round.
We are now ready and excited to bring on our first engineer. As part of an early-stage company, you’ll have real and tangible impact on the business and our users. Along with our CTO, you will write code and ship product to a growing number of paying customers. We prioritize a developer-friendly environment by being remote first, having low infrastructure/configuration overhead, autonomy in your work, and getting rid of webpack. As with any startup, product requirements and direction can change. And we strive to always provide clarity around “what did we learn” + “how that changes our thinking”. We feel the added transparency and sense of ownership results in keeping us closer to our customers and delivers a better end product.
----
Ideal requirements
* A love for Ruby on Rails * Rspec or Minitest * View Components * Tailwind * Hotwire (Turbo & Stimulus) * Postgres * Bonus: payments integration experience (like Stripe), accounting systems integration (like Quickbooks), or fintech experience (like lending) We have a fully remote team and culture, including: home office setup stipend and optional bi-weekly in-person (Boston area) working days for local candidates.Working at Rescale will just be a job, but we want it to be the best job you ever have. If you are excited to make real impact on a growing business, we’d love to chat with you.
