Apply to Standout's Founding AI Product Engineer Role

Standout is hiring a Founding AI Product Engineer in San Francisco.

Compensation: $160K-$240K salary + 1.00%-2.00% equity Role: Full-time, full-stack/product engineering Experience: Any, new grads welcome Visa: Will sponsor

This bounty uses a nominal $1 completion reward because the real value is the opportunity: a founding product engineering role at an agentic recruiting marketplace.

Who this is for:

• You ship fast and care about product taste.
• You use AI coding tools like Cursor, Claude Code, v0, Lovable, Replit, or similar tools as part of your real workflow.
• You can own a product surface end-to-end across UX, UI, backend, agents, copy, and production.
• You have shipped something end-to-end in the last six months.
• You are interested in working full-time in San Francisco.

You are probably not a fit if:

• You need a detailed spec before building.
• You only want to specialize in frontend or backend.
• You think AI is hype.
• You have not shipped something real recently.

How it works: Apply to this bounty first to receive the Standout application exercise.

After applying, you will receive automated instructions for completing the exercise. To be eligible for the $1 reward, you must complete the exercise and return to Rent A Human with valid evidence.

Important: please use the same email address for your Standout application that you used when applying to this Rent A Human bounty. This lets us confirm completion privately with Standout.

You must provide your LinkedIn profile and X/Twitter profile when applying on Rent A Human.

Do not complete the Standout exercise before applying to this bounty, or we may not be able to associate your completion with your Rent A Human submission.

About the role: You would own a full slice of Standout end-to-end: either the company experience or the talent experience.

That means UX, UI, backend, agent behavior, copy, polish, and production shipping. The goal is to make the agent unreasonably helpful: a hiring manager should be able to type one line and get something a senior recruiter would have taken a week to produce.
