Techstars

Techstars is building an operating system that centralizes how we run accelerator programs, support founders, engage the network, and drive investment decisions. As a Senior Full Stack Engineer you'll own features end to end — from the data behind them to the React UI in front of them, from design to go-live. That includes the AI-native parts of the product: search that spans the network, retrieval over founder and portfolio data, and assistive workflows that put the right context in front of the right person. You'll also lead the wind-down of our legacy founder tools, consolidating what matters into OS and retiring the rest cleanly. This is a small, high-trust team. We move fast, ship real things, and expect everyone to be able to hold a thread all the way through. What you will do Own features on Techstars OS end to end — design, build, test, and ship, from data ingestion and API layers through to the web app Build AI-native features into the product: semantic and federated search across the network, retrieval over portfolio and founder data, and assistive workflows that surface the right context at the right moment Lead the migration and shutdown of legacy founder tools — including Techstars Universe and our application management system — consolidating functionality into OS or retiring it cleanly Work across our Enterprise Data Platform and OS to build the pipelines that feed real-time features, search, and AI use cases Raise the floor on reliability and velocity: tests, code review, and CI/CD practices that hold up as the team grows — including how we fold AI coding tools into that loop Act as a technical resource for the team — unblock others, weigh in on architecture, and keep context moving across time zones What you bring Strong TypeScript and Python, and the judgment to know when to reach for each Solid React experience — you can build clean, functional UIs without a dedicated frontend team carrying you Proficiency with relational databases: data modeling, migrations, and query performance under real load. We use PostgreSQL Experience building data pipelines end to end — ingestion, transformation, and delivery to downstream consumers. We use event streaming, but experience with any comparable system transfers Experience shipping LLM-backed features to production: retrieval, embeddings, and the evaluation loop that keeps quality honest. You understand the hard part is uncertainty, evidence, and recovery — not the API call Comfortable operating containerized services in a major cloud with infrastructure defined as code. We run on GCP and AWS A track record of owning features from zero to production, and of retiring old systems without breaking things downstream Strong written communication and a high tolerance for autonomy — remote-first means writing well and staying aligned without being chased Nice to have Event-driven architectures and Kafka-based data platforms Evaluation and observability for LLM features — you've had to answer "is this actually working?" with data MCP or other tool surfaces that let agents act on production systems safely Identity and auth systems (Keycloak or similar) Search infrastructure (OpenSearch or similar) Next.js and Material UI Financial or investment data — venture capital, startup portfolio management Prior work at an accelerator, investment firm, or high-growth startup Compensation & Benefits Salary Range: $120,000 - $150,000 Benefits: Techstars offers a comprehensive benefits package that includes medical, dental, and vision insurance, a 401(k) retirement plan, and paid time off. About Techstars Since 2006, Techstars has been investing in the world’s most ambitious founders. We find great founders early, through a global network two decades in the making, and back them with capital, mentorship, and the connections they need to grow. www.techstars.com Techstars is an affirmative action, equal opportunity employer and does not discriminate on the basis of race, sex, age, national origin, religion, physical or mental handicaps or disabilities, marital status, Veteran status, sexual orientation, gender identity nor any other basis prohibited by law.

Founded in Silicon Valley in 2009 by Marc Andreessen and Ben Horowitz, Andreessen Horowitz (aka a16z) is a venture capital firm that backs bold entrepreneurs building the future through technology. We are stage agnostic . We invest in seed to venture to growth-stage technology companies, across AI , bio + healthcare , consumer , enterprise , fintech , frontier , games , and companies building toward American dynamism . a16z has $100B+ under management across multiple funds.

Our team is at the forefront of new technology, helping founders and their companies impact and change the world. The Role We're hiring a Staff Engineer, Security Automation to anchor automation across a16z's security org. Your mandate is leverage — connect the tools the security team relies on, centralize the data they generate, and build the dashboards and AI-native automations that let a small team (Security Engineering and Incident Response) operate at the scale of a much larger one. This is an AI-native role. You'll build with and on AI: LLM-augmented workflows, agentic automations, AI-assisted analysis as a first-class building block — and you'll help the rest of the security team get more leverage out of AI in their own work. a16z's security stack spans cloud telemetry, SIEM, identity, endpoint, vulnerability scanning, ticketing, and more. The team needs them stitched into one picture and one workflow rather than ten siloed ones. You'll be the person who makes that real. You'll work day to day with the Security Engineering Lead, Incident Response, SecOps, IT, and ASG (a16z’s Applied Software Group). Venture capital firms face targeted, sophisticated threats — capital call wire fraud, vishing, social engineering, and threat actors who specifically pursue firms in this space. Your work protects the firm, our LPs, and our portfolio companies. This role requires an in-office presence 2 days a week in our San Francisco, CA office. To join our team, you should be excited to: Use AI as a first-class building block - LLM-augmented analysis, agentic automations, models, context, and evals - and design for compounding leverage Build the system that combines SIEM, vulnerability scans, EDR, identity, asset management and foundation models into a single picture the team can act on Build the frameworks and dashboards that unify asset inventory, vulnerability posture, exposure reviews, and compliance evidence across systems Take the bigger automation problems off the team's plate — vulnerability management at scale, asset hygiene, access reviews, and the workflows that span multiple tools Raise the rest of the security team's leverage with AI - share patterns, ship tooling others use, and make it easy for security engineers and IR engineers to add AI to their own work Minimum Qualifications 5+ years of security engineering experience, with automation and tool-building as a core part of your work — not a side project Builder mindset — comfortable shipping production-quality security tooling, with strong Python or similar Broad security fundamentals across cloud security, detection engineering, identity, and vulnerability management. Depth in one is fine; breadth across many is required Hands-on experience building with LLMs or AI APIs — integrating AI into workflows, evaluating model output for accuracy, usability, and performance Understanding of AI security risks: prompt injection, data exfiltration from LLM workflows, agent identity boundaries, and model risk Experience translating technical security concepts, decisions, and trade-offs into terms non-technical audiences across the firm can act on Low ego, high empathy, and the capacity to collaborate across security, engineering, and IT without creating friction The anticipated salary range for this role is between $243,000 - $284,000, actual starting pay may vary based on a range of factors which can include experience, skills, and scope. This role is eligible to participate in the a16z carry program and various discretionary bonus programs as well as benefit and perquisite plans including health, dental, vision, disability, life insurance, 401K plan, vacation, and sick leave. a16z culture We do only first class business and only in a first class way We take a long view of relationships, because we are in the relationship business We believe in the future and bet the firm that way We are all different, we recognize that, and we win We celebrate the good times We do it for the team We play to win At a16z we are always looking to hire the absolute best talent and recognize that diversity in our experiences and backgrounds is what makes us stronger.

We’re drawn to the outer planets, the outliers and edge cases that don’t fit neatly into preset categories.

You’re data-driven and always optimizing, but also know how to trust your intuition beyond just data and think big-picture.
