Senior Founding Engineer

Noto is an exciting startup building an AI-native operating system for after school businesses, fresh off a $3.8M seed round backed by top-tier VCs like Base10 and South Park Commons. As a Senior Founding Engineer, you'll join a team led by technical founders with experience from companies like Quora, Lyft, and Meta.

The role offers a unique opportunity to shape the future of educational business software, working with modern technologies including React, Node.js, PostgreSQL, and cutting-edge AI implementations. Based in New York City with a hybrid work model (4 days in office, 1 day WFH), you'll be part of a high-camaraderie, low-ego environment that values both hard work and fun.

The position requires 5+ years of experience and a product-minded approach to engineering. You'll have significant autonomy in making key technical and product decisions, with the opportunity to take on increasing responsibility as the company grows. The compensation package is competitive ($175K-$215K plus equity) with comprehensive benefits.

What makes this role special is the combination of technical challenges, direct impact on small businesses, and the opportunity to work with founders who understand engineering. You'll be implementing AI solutions to streamline operations, building data pipelines for seamless onboarding, and creating agentic workflows to automate complex tasks.

The team culture emphasizes shipping quickly while maintaining craft quality, with regular team retreats, office lunches, and a collaborative environment. If you're passionate about using technology to help small businesses thrive and want to be part of building something meaningful from the ground up, this could be your ideal next role.
