About us
Harmonic is the startup discovery engine.
It pains us to see great startup opportunities consistently go undiscovered. So, we dedicated ourselves to mapping out the startup landscape and building the tools that ensure the most promising founders get found and funded.
The world's largest and most prolific venture capital firms (as well as the up-and-comers you haven’t heard of yet) rely on us to find and invest in the next Google, AirBnB, Uber, Stripe, and Anduril. We play a crucial part in ensuring hundreds of billions of dollars get routed efficiently and that the innovations the world would most benefit from materialize.
We’re growing revenue at a rate of 100%+ annually and already power thousands of investors' workflow. Backed by $30M from investors like Craft, Floodgate, and Sozo Ventures, we want to power the entire investment workflow from discovery to term sheet. If you resonate with our values and want to fundamentally evolve how venture capital markets work, come join us.
The role
We believe in investing in high slope talent and are looking for top 1% engineers to join us in one of our 3 teams:
- Discovery/Sourcing: We sit at the core of Harmonic’s product and data engine. We transform hundreds of fragmented, unstructured sources - from APIs and raw HTML to legal filings - into structured insights on startups, people, and investors. We own the entire pipeline, from large-scale data ingestion to the full-stack search experience that surfaces breakout companies before anyone else
- Discovery/Scout: We are building the future of startup search and research. We transform massive volumes of structured and unstructured data into dynamic, searchable indices - powering an agentic layer that helps VCs explore, analyze, and automate sourcing and diligence like never before
- Flow: We are building Harmonic’s AI-native hub for VC workflows. One place to source, research, and triage deals. It syncs VCs internal data with Harmonic’s knowledge graph to surface fast, context-rich, actionable insights so VCs can move faster on the best opportunities
We’re specifically looking for engineers who have:
- 5+ years of full-stack software engineering experience, with flexibility for exceptional candidates. This role is 70/30 back-end leaning
- A record of shipping high-quality product. We’re excited to hear about the major releases you’ve driven over the past several years
- Experience quickly turning ambiguity into clarity - building scalable, performant, and observable frontend and backend systems from first principles while balancing technical, product, and organizational tradeoffs
- An interest in venture capital and the startup ecosystem
Pay:
$180k-$220k Salary + Equity depending on the level
