Ask HN: What do you consider a founding engineer?
8 by jedberg | 1 comments on Hacker News.
I keep seeing ads for "Founding Engineer" jobs, and right now I see an add for #2 Founding Engineer. In my mind, a founding engineer is someone who holds at least 10% of the stock or has at least 50% as much as the founders, if they have less than 20% each. What is your definition of a founding engineer? It seems like most of these ads are just using the term for an early hire.
