Leadbay (YC F25)

<div>
 &ldquo;Hire people who make you never want to hire &ldquo;normal&rdquo; people again.&rdquo; - Brian Chesky
 
 
 &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t hire people who need to be managed&rdquo; - YC advice
 
 
 Information about companies is inherently incomplete, outdated, and often wrong. This will not change. Because of this, it has been very hard to build a tool that qualifies B2B leads as a human would, and that can deliver a constant flow of qualified leads to B2B sales representatives. Which is something those people want.
 
 
 We believe times are changing, and now we can make AI smarter so that it can achieve more with less data. To tackle this challenge, we develop smarter crawlers to extract exhaustive information about even the smallest companies, and extrapolate missing information. We train lead representation models to power our lead recommender system, and build a whole set of tools to enable AI to leverage all the information we have to answer lead qualification questions as well as a human sales rep would.
 
 
 In addition, we relentlessly study user behavior to build an engaging user interface and become a key app in the user workflow.
 
 
 We&rsquo;re doing a pretty good job, with ~70% of our monthly active users using the app weekly, and with our user base growing ~20% week after week. However, to actually turn this into a product that has changed the world of B2B sales, we need to continue to learn, innovate, and improve.
 
 
 Our team is a good place for people who are self-starters, who want to express themselves through their work, learn, grow, and are unafraid of hard challenges.
 
 
 We are not a good place for people who need to be told precisely what to do, are unable to make judgment calls and tend to wait for validation, or who care more about &ldquo;whose fault is it&rdquo; than about &ldquo;how to make it work&rdquo;.
 
 
 We work in a very low-overhead, agile way, with a single weekly team coordination meeting, all other meetings being in service of actually doing the work or becoming a person that can do it. We use a GitHub Project for keeping track of things. Weekly iterations. English. There is a lot of freedom, but also a sense of not being alone. Or at least that is what we strive for.

Role<h1 class="jobSectionHeader">
Who this role is for</h1>
This role is for an experienced product engineer who wants real ownership, real leverage, and real impact.
You have already shipped meaningful products and systems. You are comfortable taking responsibility for outcomes, not just execution. You care deeply about product quality, system design, and user experience, and you want your decisions to shape the direction of what gets built.
You thrive in environments with ambiguity. You are energized by loosely defined problems and take initiative to clarify goals, explore constraints, and drive toward strong solutions. You are trusted to make technical and product tradeoffs independently and to mentor others by example.
You enjoy working across the stack and across disciplines. You move fluidly between backend systems, frontend interfaces, and product decisions. You want to help define how a product is built, not just implement tickets.
This is not a role for someone who wants narrow scope or heavy process. It is for someone who wants to operate as a force multiplier.<h2 class="jobSectionHeader">
What you will do</h2>
You will own complex, high impact product work end to end, from early problem framing through production and iteration.
You will:<ul><li>
Lead the design and implementation of user facing features across frontend and backend using TypeScript, React, Tailwind, and Postgres</li><li>
Translate ambiguous product goals into clear technical plans and shipped outcomes</li><li>
Partner closely with product and design to shape roadmap decisions and execution strategy</li><li>
Talk directly with users to understand workflows, pain points, and opportunities</li><li> 
Drive fast iteration loops using feedback, data, and firsthand product usage</li><li>
Raise the quality bar through thoughtful system design, testing, and code review</li><li>
Identify and resolve structural issues that slow the team or degrade product quality</li><li>
Mentor junior engineers through pairing, feedback, and setting strong technical examples</li><li>
Contribute to a culture of ownership, clarity, and high standards</li></ul> 
You will be expected to move fast while thinking holistically, choosing solutions that scale with the product and team rather than optimizing for short term convenience.
How you will be successful
Your success will be measured by:<ul><li>
End to end ownership 
You take responsibility for important product areas, drive decisions, and reliably deliver high quality features without heavy oversight.</li><li> 
Technical and product leadership 
You make sound architectural and product tradeoffs, improve system quality over time, and elevate the thinking of those around you.</li><li> 
Shipped product impact 
Your work measurably improves user experience, product depth, reliability, and development velocity.</li></ul><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"> 
Required background</h1>
Strong candidates typically have:<ul><li>
Several years of experience building and shipping production software</li><li>
A strong technical foundation from a CS program or equivalent real world experience</li><li>
Experience owning significant product or system areas end to end</li><li>
Deep comfort with TypeScript and modern frontend development</li><li>
Solid backend fundamentals including data modeling, APIs, and system design</li><li>
Strong debugging skills and the ability to reason through complex systems</li><li>
Clear written and verbal communication</li><li>
A demonstrated ability to learn new domains quickly and apply them in practice</li><li>
Experience operating in fast paced environments with high ownership</li></ul><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"> 
Nice to have</h1><ul><li>
Experience at an early stage or high growth startup</li><li>
Experience collaborating deeply with design and product partners</li><li>
A track record of mentoring or leading other engineers</li><li>
Personal projects or writing that demonstrate taste and initiative</li><li>
Interests beyond engineering such as design, writing, economics, or philosophy</li></ul><h1 class="jobSectionHeader"> 
Why this role matters</h1>
We are building ambitious products at the intersection of AI and modern software. Doing that well requires senior product engineers who can think clearly, learn continuously, and ship with conviction.
In this role, you will have outsized influence on the product, the codebase, and the team. You will work on problems that matter, help shape how we build, and play a key role in defining the future of the company.
In all roles 
We look for:
Intense. Ship fast. Cycles are hours, not weeks. Hard to outwork.
Ownership. Grab the #1 priority and relentless to deliver.
Fearlessness. Risk on. Do the unknown / uncomfortable. Say &quot;good&quot; to bad news.
Taste. Obsess over quality. Know what &ldquo;great&rdquo; looks like. No slop.
Play. Curiosity, joy, and energy.
Sound like you?
Come do the most meaningful work of your career.

 What you&rsquo;ll do
 
 
 As a company, we believe in end-to-end ownership of projects. For any given project, we have one person on point. While they don't necessarily have to do all the work themselves, it's their job to make sure all the work gets done. We launch betas and prototypes as early as we can. This helps ensure that we're building what users actually want. We contribute back to the community, often by building things we think are cool and by releasing open-source software.

 In-office expectations
 
 
 Office-assigned Stripes in most of our locations are currently expected to spend at least 50% of the time in a given month in their local office or with users. This expectation may vary depending on role, team and location. For example, Stripes in our Bucharest, Romania site have an 80% in-office expectation, and those in Stripe Delivery Center roles in Mexico City, Mexico and Bengaluru, India work 100% from the office. Also, some teams have greater in-office attendance requirements, to appropriately support our users and workflows, which the hiring manager will discuss. This approach helps strike a balance between bringing people together for in-person collaboration and learning from each other, while supporting flexibility when possible.
