Exciting times at @TrustedFor_! We’re looking to hire a Product Engineer to join the founding team. Come help us build LinkedIn 2.0—where user profiles are based on credible recommendations that go beyond your pedigree, schooling, and jobs.

We're building a trust graph based on who trusts whom & in what context, ie Who
- would you hack a product MVP w/ over a weekend?
- are designers you trust to benchmark design talent?
- are investors w/ incredible empathy for founders?
Your people recommend their people.⭐️

We're working to build a network that allows you to praise a designer, marketer, engineer, product person, etc for their work that

We think about this as we continue to try to grow TrustedFor. It’s in these intimate networks that opportunities arise—if you’re able to plug into them when you need to.

Build the company YOU want and find investors that happen to want that too.

People aren't hiring degrees. They're hiring skills.
Go get skills and build a way to prove it.
