Software Engineer (Early Career)

About Yara

Yara is building the future of finding work. Most hiring tools are stuck in the 90s and AI is making it worse, not better. More spam, more noise, more generic outreach that wastes everyone's time. We're reworking how people find their next role with one profile that actually shows your work, smart matching that puts you in front of the right companies, and a real person on the other side who cares about getting it right.

We work with companies across AI, developer tools, consumer, fintech, and health tech, ranging from teams that have raised $1B+ with 3,000+ employees to earlier stage companies at $50M+ with 100+ employees. We've helped talent from Google, Apple, Palantir, Uber, and Ramp connect with companies like Vercel, Paraform, Abridge, and Parallel.

About this role

New York companies in the Yara Network hire new grads and early career engineers straight onto small in-person teams, where you ship to production in your first week instead of waiting out a rotation program. Two of these teams have already hired through us and are hiring seventeen more between them, at salaries that start where most new grad offers end.

Who this is for

• You're graduating this year, or you finished within the last three years.

• Your GitHub is the strongest thing you have, and you want someone to actually read it.

• You've built something people used: a tool, a bot, a site, a game, an agent.

• You'd rather be the third engineer somewhere real than the 300th in a grad program.

• You want to be in New York, in the office, learning from people a few years ahead of you.

You may be a good fit if you have

• A CS degree, a bootcamp with real projects, or no degree and a body of work that speaks for itself

• 0 to 3 years of experience, including internships that shipped

• Working TypeScript, Python, or Go, plus something you deployed and then maintained

• LLM-powered side projects that go past a chat wrapper: tool-calling, agents, evals

• Energy for work-trial interviews: build for a day or two, get a real answer

• You live in the New York area, or you're ready to move for the right team

If we don't move forward together, you can still use your Yara to list your work, browse millions of roles, manage your job search, and stay in our network for when something new comes up.
