First Round Capital | San Francisco | ONSITE
We're hiring for 2 positions on a small engineering team that works in seed stage venture capital.
Full-Stack Software Engineer - https://medium.com/@firstround/full-stack-software-engineer-910d513930…
Product Manager - https://medium.com/@firstround/looking-for-a-product-manager-befd109ba…
Our tools are used every day by founders, CEOs, VC partners, and leaders at startups. Engineering at First Round provides a unique opportunity to get a look at how VC works from the inside while building products around interesting startup-focused business problems. We code in Ruby on Rails, including myself who leads the team. It's a small team (2 engineers) so you'd have a huge impact on what we do.
If interested, feel free to email me directly ben at first round dot com.
