Full-Stack Software Engineer – High-Impact Roles in San Francisco (Onsite)
Key Talent Solutions – San Francisco, CA (Onsite)
(This posting represents multiple openings with top SF startups.)
We’re building a curated network of exceptional full-stack engineers for several high-growth startups in San Francisco. These roles range from product ownership to greenfield architecture — depending on background — but all involve real impact, real ownership, and shipping real software.
If you love building, solving hard problems, and being close to the product, this is a place to raise your hand.
About the Roles (Multiple Openings)
This posting is not for a single job. It’s an entry point into a set of hand-selected opportunities with early-to-mid stage startups in SF.
We partner directly with founders and CTOs to identify engineers who can:
Build and ship features end-to-end
Work closely with product/design to solve real customer pain
Contribute to early architecture decisions
Move quickly and collaborate in a high-ownership engineering culture
Whether your strengths lean frontend-heavy, backend-leaning, or balanced full-stack, we match engineers based on impact, not titles.
Tech We Love Seeing
You don’t need all of these — strong depth in a few is great:
React, TypeScript, Next.js
Node.js, Python, Go
Postgres, Redis, GraphQL, REST APIs
AWS, GCP, modern CI/CD
Comfort in fast-moving, product-centric teams
If you’ve built something meaningful — whether at a startup, in industry, or independently — you’ll stand out.
You Might Be a Great Fit If You…
Thrive in high-velocity, hands-on engineering environments
Have experience building real products, not just academic or contract projects
Care about code quality, product quality, and customer experience
Want more ownership than large companies typically allow
Have a clear area where you excel: frontend, backend, architecture, performance, infra, or product thinking
Have stayed long enough in past roles to ship, iterate, improve, and scale
If you’ve ever been the go-to person on your team, built something from scratch, or carried a feature from design → deploy → support, these roles are for you.
Compensation
Compensation varies by company and level, but all opportunities include:
Competitive SF market base salary
Meaningful equity (particularly for early-stage teams)
High-impact engineering ownership
Actual packages depend on role, stage, and background.
What Happens After You Apply
We review applications daily.
If your background aligns with the teams we're supporting, you’ll be fast-tracked for:
A short intro conversation
A curated match with a high-impact SF engineering team
Opportunities with real ownership and room to grow
Equal Opportunity
We believe great engineering talent comes from everywhere and welcome applicants from all backgrounds.
