Underdog.io | Senior Software Engineer | Remote in the U.S.
Underdog.io builds software that helps job seekers find meaningful work at technology companies. To date, we’ve connected talented people with hundreds of growing organizations in New York, San Francisco, and beyond. Our company is bootstrapped, profitable, and growing.
We’re hiring a Senior Software Engineer to push forward with our mission to help job seekers make informed decisions. This will be a hands-on role for a business-minded software engineer that wants to work with Python and JavaScript, build a small in-house engineering and product team, and play a key role in shaping the direction of our company.
Building an inclusive and diverse workplace is one of Underdog.io’s core values. We warmly welcome people of all backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives to apply.
Underdog.io, a talent marketplace, is hiring a backend engineer in New York. This role will have ownership over backend and DevOps on our Python (Flask) and JavaScript-based stack. Underdog.io is a small, revenue-funded company where everyone’s contribution and decision-making is directly impactful. Ideal candidates have the skills and initiative to think deeply about everything from code quality to internal processes to the broader market in which we operate. Specifically, we’re looking for someone with:
- Server-side development experience in Flask or a similar framework (Django, Express, etc.).
- Client-side development experience, preferably using a JS library like React or AngularJS.
- A deep understanding of HTTP and RESTful API design.
- Familiarity with SQL databases (we use PostgreSQL) and general data modeling practices.

Underdog.io | Creative Technologist | New York, NY | ONSITE
Underdog.io is a curated talent marketplace headquartered in New York.
We're looking to hire a designer-developer to work with us on a 4-6 week project at full-time or mostly-full-time capacity. React experience and strong holistic design thinking are the only requirements, although we’re especially interested in working with people who are interested in designing for accessibility or disadvantaged communities. The project itself is a web application (not a marketing site) that will have be used by people who are looking for jobs. We are big on cultivating agency and helping people align with their values, so that will be a theme of our thinking and work.
We are thinking about this as a product residency where you will work and think with us at our office, fit into our product development process, and be supported completely through the project.
Please email me at chris at underdog.io if you're interested in finding out more.

Given the varying lengths of these immersives, I'd love to see a per week price comparison (or some sort of common unit $ comparison). That, plus non-inflated placement rates, would be helpful.
Underdog.io | New York, NY | https://underdog.io | Full-Time | ONSITE or REMOTE
We’re looking to hire a full-stack engineer (engineer #3/employee #6).
Today, Underdog.io is a curated marketplace for talent. We connect amazing people with founders and hiring managers at top technology companies.
We don’t charge placement fees because we’re not recruiters. We’re building technology to reduce the noise of the job search and match. We started Underdog.io because we experienced the pains associated with (1) hiring while working at top startups and (2) looking for new opportunities.
Our platform is currently live in SF and NYC, where we work with 180+ awesome startups. We’ve had to turn away one of every two companies that have tried to join the network. We've proudly bootstrapped and profitable.
As we scale, we’ll focus on building tools for candidates to organize, search, and discover new job opportunities. In our view of the future, job candidates don’t receive unsolicited outreach from recruiters and companies don’t pay placement fees for the vast majority of their hires. Job search is organized and talented candidates have more high-quality options.
We use Python/Flask, Javascript/Node.js, PostgreSQL, Elastic Search, AWS. We're also working on a project in Ruby/Sinatra. And we're big supporters of open source.
Definitely true, but it's not just recruitment firms that leave dummy jobs up. Startups do this all the time, especially for competitive roles like software engineer and UX designer. It allows internal recruiters and hiring managers to perpetually keep an eye out for good talent. It also makes the companies look like they are doing well and growing.
I went for a jog with an ex-colleague who was starting a new company in NYC. He had asked to meet up to get my advice on how to interview people for a research project that his company was working on. After 45 minutes of me explaining how a candidate would ideally approach the work, he offered me the job. I basically said yes on the spot.
Love this company and all their progress from the 4SquareAnd7YearsAgo days. Great that they are still as thoughtful as ever when it comes to product and infrastructure.
Would love to hear more about your other ideas and tell you about the data and insights product I'm working on for property managers and others in the rental real estate space. Email is in my profile.
