nice post! startup-within-a-startup is always tough, but it seems like making the team as much like a startup as possible (in every way) is the right approach.

Dover is a full-service sourcer for the fastest growing companies in North America. We help many top startups hire the best talent for their open roles by taking over their sourcing and scheduling.
The Dover engineering team is small but incredibly effective. We value productivity over face-time, action over inaction, and focus over feature creep.
As one of our first few engineers, you'll have a massive level of ownership over our engineering culture, end-to-end ownership over the systems that you build, and influence on product direction.
At the core of what we're building is a simple question—"is person X a good fit for job Y"—but doing this well is challenging, requiring a combination of large-scale data scraping, aggregation and processing. We pride ourselves in automating things nobody thought possible.
We primarily code in Python, with some occasional JavaScript. We leverage Kubernetes heavily for our orchestration and deployment. We also make extensive use of Google Cloud, Docker, Postgres, Mongo, and ElasticSearch within our infrastructure.
You're a full-stack or backend engineer with 3+ years of software experience at one or more companies with a strong engineering culture. You're ready to be an individual contributor, design and build sophisticated systems quickly, and work in a fast-paced environment.

Yeah, that's definitely a concern we've heard. We're starting with startup founders because that's a niche we know well, but it can work for any frequently traveling professional.
There's a big tailwind for more people traveling for work and working remotely, and staying 1+ weeks in a hotel/Airbnb is prohibitively expensive. There are startups working on solving this by creating their own custom spaces, but we know tons of people who just leave their room unoccupied because they don't want to deal with minor hassles like key exchange, cleanings, making sure the temporary visitors get along with roommates, etc. We think solving all that will open up a massive new supply of short to medium term housing.
