Founding Engineer / Full Stack

Spur, founded by Yale alumni with experience from Figma and DeepMind, is revolutionizing website testing through AI-powered QA engineering. As their first engineering hire, you'll join a YC-backed startup (S24) that's already serving some of the fastest-growing companies including Perplexity, Wander.com, Rippling, and ClickUp.

The role offers unprecedented autonomy to shape technical decisions, build culture, and drive innovation. You'll work across the full technology stack, owning the entire development lifecycle from ideation to deployment. The position includes opportunities for customer interaction, product direction, and cross-functional responsibilities including sales and marketing involvement.

The company is backed by prominent investors including First Round Capital, Neo, and Pear VC. They're reimagining automation testing from first principles, using natural language to launch web agents that mimic real users. The role is based in their NYC office, offering a comprehensive benefits package and the chance to work directly with the founding team.

For the right candidate, there's a "Founder Track" option to expand beyond engineering into customer account ownership, sales participation, documentation writing, and marketing narrative development. The interview process includes a take-home challenge, phone screens, and a paid work trial in their NYC office, demonstrating their commitment to finding the right cultural and technical fit.

This is an exceptional opportunity for engineers who are passionate about AI, testing automation, and want to be part of a transformative early-stage startup that's already gaining significant market traction.
