Founding Engineer | NYC | $200k–$250k + Equity

DevLogic is partnering with a stealth, pre-seed-backed startup in NYC to find their next Founding Engineer.

This is a rare one. You'd be the second engineer in the building, working directly with two technical co-founders who are building something genuinely personal to them — helping independent professionals take ownership of their own path, on their own terms.

They've already got real revenue, a seed round on the way, and more demand than two people can handle. That's why you're here.

What's in it for you

• Real ownership from day one — not a seat at the table, the whole table
• Direct access to the founders, and a real say in product and technical direction
• A blank canvas — the scope of what needs building is huge, and you'll help shape it
• $200k–$250k cash plus meaningful equity
• Fully covered health, dental & vision
• Flexible time off
• Relocation support if you're not already in NYC

What they need from you

• You've built something real before — a founding engineer role or genuine 0-to-1 experience, not just a project no one used
• Solid Engineering experience - Google, Amazon, Airbnb, Stripe, or similar companies known for strong engineering
• 4+ years of experience
• Full-stack, TypeScript-heavy, comfortable touching infrastructure
• You actually use AI to build faster — this matters to them
• Open to being in NYC, in office, 5 days a week
