Founding engineer · $190k + equity

6-person team in Boston, hiring their second infrastructure engineer. You wanted payments and a small team. This role has both.

  • Senior engineer, adtech, not your field
  • Staff engineer, remote only, pays less than you asked
  • Platform lead, 6-month contract, you want full-time
  • Backend engineer, Series D, bigger than you want

We looked at these too and skipped them. You only hear about the ones that fit.

and you hear about the one that fits.

Nine roles checked against one profile: eight skipped, each with its reason, and one sent, the founding engineer role in payments.

How matching works

Tell us once and hear from us when a role fits.

Joining is free because companies pay us, and nothing about you reaches a company until you agree to that company by name.

Tell us what a good job looks like.

Tell us the stack you want to work in, the size of team, your comp floor, whether you would relocate and what made you leave your last place.

What we will not do

No mass outreach

You will never get a message that could have been sent to a thousand people.

No hidden employer

We name the company in the first message, and you decide before we share anything.

No resume in a black hole

If we put you forward, we tell you what happened, including when the answer is no.

No fee, ever

Companies pay our fee, and none of it comes from you or your pay.

Refer a friend. Get up to $2,000 when we place them.

Know someone good who is looking? Send them your link.

  1. Share your link

    You get it when you join, on screen and in your welcome email.

  2. They join

    They sign up through your link, or name you on the form.

  3. We place them

    When a company we work with hires them, you get paid.

$1,000 for each of the first 25 people we place from your referrals, $1,500 each from the 26th, and $2,000 each from the 51st.

FAQ

Candidate
questions

What people ask before they join.

Not sure yet?

Joining takes a minute and nothing happens until a role fits. You can leave whenever you like.

Does it cost me anything?

No. Companies pay our fee on a signed offer. Nothing comes out of your salary, your equity, or your signing bonus, and there is no charge for joining the pool.

Will my current employer find out?

No. We never share your profile with a company without asking you first, by name, for that specific role.

How often will you contact me?

Only when we have a role we think you would take, which for most people is a handful of times a year. If you want fewer, reply and tell us.

I am not looking right now. Should I still join?

That is the best time to join. The matching runs in the background, so when something unusually good opens up you hear about it instead of missing it.

What kinds of roles do you work on?

Engineering, product, design, data, and go-to-market, from internships and new-grad roles through senior hires, mostly at venture-backed startups in the US.

How do I get out?

Reply to any message and ask, or email us. We delete your profile within a day and confirm when it is done.

Is the call with a real person?

No. You talk with our AI agent, and it tells you so as the call begins. The call is recorded and transcribed so we can build your profile.

What does it cover?

What you do day to day, the work you are proudest of, why you are looking and what you want next, where you want to work and when you could start, the pay you want and whether you need visa sponsorship. It never asks what you earn now or earned before.

What if I can't talk now?

Say so and the agent ends the call. You can ask for it again on this site later, or type your answers instead.

What happens to the recording?

We keep it and its transcript with your profile in our private talent pool, which only the Vouch team can open. No company hears or reads it, and you can ask us to delete it at any time.

Be in the room before the role is posted.

It takes under a minute to join, and we'll get back to you.
