Founding Software Engineer (New York City)

Job Category: Software Engineer
Job Type: Full Time
Job Location: United States
Company Name: Greylock

Company Overview

We are the first partner for founders. Over 80% of our investments are the first check: Pre-Seed, Seed, or Series A. Many start on a whiteboard. Focused on AI-first companies. We partner selectively, care deeply, and strive for excellence. We back founders who are building disruptive enterprise and consumer software companies such as: Airbnb (Nasdaq: ABNB), Abnormal Security, Adept AI, AppDynamics, Arista Networks (NYSE: ANET), CATO Networks, Coinbase (Nasdaq: COIN), Discord, Dropbox (Nasdaq: DBX), Figma, Inflection, Instabase, LinkedIn, Meta (Nasdaq: Meta), Nextdoor (NYSE: KIND), Okta (Nasdaq: OKTA), Palo Alto Networks (NYSE: PANW), Roblox (NYSE: RBLX), Rubrik, and Workday (NYSE: WDAY).

About the job

Greylock has a history of investing in category-defining security companies in the enterprise(Palo Alto Networks, Okta, Sumo Logic, Imperva, Skyhigh, Demisto, Sqreen, Abnormal Security, Cato Networks, Censys, Cribl, Obsidian, Opal, and Rubrik).

We recently invested in a new cybersecurity startup led by a seasoned team of former engineering and product leaders with decades of experience.

This is a rare opportunity to join an experienced team tackling deeply challenging and novel technical problems—this role blends technical expertise, an entrepreneurial mindset, and adaptability. It’s an ideal position for someone aspiring to start their own company in the future but hasn’t yet found the right idea. This role offers a front-row seat to shaping the company’s technology, culture, and long-term success, providing invaluable insights. Additionally, you’ll have the opportunity to play a key role in building their New York office

The ideal candidate has at least 5 years of industry experience, preferably as a full-stack engineer. However, we are equally open to individuals with a spike in front-end or back-end development.

The company’s tech stack includes TypeScript, Python, and Go.

Since the company is currently in stealth, additional details will be provided to qualified candidates.
