About 1stCollab
1stCollab (YC W23) is an AI-powered influencer marketing platform founded by a team with extensive experience scaling companies like Pinterest. We’re revolutionizing influencer marketing, enabling marketers to accomplish in hours what previously took teams months. Each week, we connect thousands of creators with top brands like Notion, Character AI, and Quora. Backed by Y Combinator and other world-class investors, we’re developing cutting-edge technology to transform how brands advertise and acquire users.
About the role
We’re hiring a Lead (Senior / Staff / Sr. Staff) Product Engineer to help build the leading advertising and marketing platform for brands and creators. As the Lead Product Engineer, you will have the opportunity to architect our entire product stack. For creators, we aim to be the ultimate platform for growing creative careers—managing the business side so creators can focus on what they do best. For brands, our vision goes beyond traditional ad platforms: we believe that by making advertising as intuitive as a consumer product, we can redefine the ad experience.
Your responsibilities
- You will lead the frontend architecture decisions with a focus on performance, scale, and impact.
- Work with Engineering, Product, and Design to ship exceptional product experiences for Brands and Creators.
- Be a founding member of our growing team. Help to shape the product, direction, and culture of the company!
What we’re looking for
-
Experience: 5+ years in Frontend Development experience.
-
Background: Deep expertise in React, Node.js, mobile web, and REST API ecosystem. Strong product and design sensibilities with track record of shipping.
-
User-Centric: You are obsessed with our customers (Brands and Creators!) and want to build great product experiences.
-
Action-Oriented: As a startup, we prioritize getting things done. We don’t spend our days in meetings and talking about work. We prioritize roll up our sleeves and getting stuff done.
-
Strong Communication: Ability to navigate ambiguity, articulate decisions, and communicate effectively with teammates and external brand partners.
-
Growth Mindset: You welcome feedback and are eager to learn, iterate, and improve.
-
Fast Learner: You’ll be working with unique tools and processes that don’t exist elsewhere. We need someone who can quickly understand 1stCollab’s operations and develop ways to educate brands about our platform.
