Pioneer | REMOTE| Engineer | https://pioneer.app https://pioneer.app
Founder of Pioneer here.
We're building a fully remote online accelerator. A kind of YC-before-YC. We find people on the Internet that seem promising and give them "Silicon Valley", but on the Internet. It's a lot of gamification, Ruby software, Zoom, Slack, and fun. We've funded over 100 people around the world in 30+ countries. We direct them to YC once they graduate. (Tbc, we have no formal attachment to YC; just admiration. And a severe addiction to HN.)
We're looking for a competent software engineer that can do front and backend development. We're happy to take a bet on someone junior or senior. The interview process is much like the job: get a high level prompt, and then _make a thing_. That's it. Don't apply if you're looking to optimize tight C++ loops, we don't have that. Apply if you're interested in building products, end-to-end. Apply if you're energetic and excited about the idea. Apply if you can see this gig be a legitimate cornerstone of your career.
There's no formal ATS, it's a startup. Just email team@pioneer.app, mention this post.
- rememberlenny 6y agoHuge props to Pioneer. I am constantly impressed by their innovative ways of engaging creators who build tools that people love.
- montenegrohugo 6y agoSeems like an interesting thing you guys are doing. What is your monetization model?
- wmichelin 6y agoIf they're comparing themselves to YC their monetization model is probably investing... right?
- montenegrohugo 6y agoProbably, but I'm still curious. And if it's through investing, what ownership stake do they usually ask for?

- montenegrohugo 6y agoAh thanks, that answers the question. Seems like a decent offer, although I imagine the would only offer this to a limited amount of founders. Also I find it hilarious that they include a "A 1-year subscription to The Economist." in there.
