What are the responsibilities and job description for the Senior Software Engineer (San Francisco) position at Greylock?
Greylock has a proven history of investing in category-defining consumer companies such as Discord, Facebook, Instagram, and (Musical.ly)TikTok. We’re excited to back a new startup founded by seasoned entrepreneurs who have previously built and scaled a billion-dollar consumer company with over 10 million users.
This is a unique opportunity to join a seasoned, consumer-focused team as a founding engineer—a role that blends technical expertise, an entrepreneurial mindset, and adaptability. It’s an ideal position for someone aspiring to start their own company in the future but hasn’t yet found the right idea. This experience will provide a front-row seat to shaping a company’s technology, culture, and long-term success, offering invaluable insights.
The ideal candidate has at least 5 years of industry experience, preferably as a full-stack engineer. However, I'm equally open to individuals with a spike in front or backend development. While familiarity with React Native is a plus, it’s not a requirement. This person thrives in fast-paced, entrepreneurial environments, has a proven track record of delivering impactful results, and is eager to help build and scale a product from the ground up.
Since the company is currently in stealth, additional details will be provided to qualified candidates.
