HackerRank (YC S11) Is Hiring
HackerRank is reinventing developer hiring by shifting focus from traditional algorithms to AI orchestration. The company is now hiring Forward Deployed Engineers to help 2,500+ companies transition to this new agentic era.
The job of a developer is becoming an orchestrator of AI agents. HackerRank is helping 2500+ companies change how they hire for this new world.
We've played a critical role in developer hiring over the last 15 years, with 30m+ developers on our platform and now going through a founding moment -- reinventing the company for the agentic era.
Specifically, we are changing hiring across 3 dimensions:
Tasks: Real-world tasks on code repositories vs standard algorithmic-style puzzles
Evaluation: AI fluency, orchestration skills vs functional correctness
Candidate experience: Agentic IDE vs a simple code editor
We are already live across many companies and it's exciting to see the world finally move away from the old-school Leetcode style puzzles.
Role The role of the FDE will be to help our customers implement the new hiring process and serve as a bridge between the product & customer teams as we rapidly build the new HackerRank.
Being technically fluent and strong communication skills are critical. You will be working directly with engineering leaders at our customers to redesign how they evaluate talent.
Location Santa Clara, New York, London, Bangalore (hybrid set up with 3 to 4 days/week in-office)
