Software engineers of all kinds
Original posting
Lots of YC companies | Software engineers of all kinds | Everywhere, though mostly in the US | Mostly on-site, but some remote too | Full-time and intern
A few months ago, a team of us at Y Combinator started working on a "common app", so that people could apply to all Y Combinator companies at the same time. It seemed silly to us that even though so many companies are struggling to hire people, it still requires O(n) effort to apply to n companies.
So, we built https://workatastartup.com. It's a simple way to apply to all YC companies at the same time. It's only for software engineers & data scientists for now (we hope to open it more broadly later). If a company is interested, you'll get an email from them. We also recently added a directory (https://workatastartup.com/directory) where you can browse the jobs of some of the companies hiring through the site and apply directly (not all have finished their profile yet).
It seems to be working pretty well - many of the people who posted a profile have gotten more than a dozen company founders reaching out to them, and some people have gotten jobs through it already. That said, it's still a bit inconsistent and most likely to have good results if you're looking for a full-time role in the US.
We'd love if you filled out a profile and let us know what you think (workatastartup@ycombinator.com) : https://www.workatastartup.com
