Dover is building the marketplace for startup experts.
We connect high-growth startups with experienced operators across recruiting, HR, legal, and more. These are leaders who know what great looks like and deliver real business outcomes. Experts are trusted business partners who work directly with founders to build and scale companies.
As AI transforms how work gets done, the need for experienced operators who can drive execution, exercise judgment, and own outcomes has never been greater. Dover enables these experts to plug into the most ambitious startups exactly when they’re needed most.
Dover isn’t an agency, a firm. or a consultancy. Dover is a marketplace where startups and expert operators meet, collaborate, and build lasting working relationships.
Startups come to Dover to find and partner with exceptional operators through our marketplace.
Since Dover launched the marketplace in mid-2024, it has grown to support over 300 of the strongest early-stage tech companies in the world.
We’re looking for a product-minded software engineer to join a small, fast-moving team building Dover’s core marketplace and ATS.
This is not a role where you’ll simply be handed tickets. You’ll come up with product ideas and own problems end-to-end. Everything from shaping ideas to shipping and iterating in production. You’ll work closely with the rest of the team to move quickly, make decisions, and continuously improve the product.
If you’re excited about autonomy, ownership, and building alongside a tight-knit team, this role is for you.
Own features end-to-end: from idea → design → implementation → launch → iteration
Work closely with teammates to make fast, high-quality product decisions
Bring strong product instincts and contribute to what we build
Ship quickly and continuously improve what’s in production
Push back on ideas and approaches when you have a better perspective
Collaborate deeply with a small, highly engaged engineering team
Constantly learn, upskill, and raise the bar for the team
You have a few years of experience building and shipping software
You have product taste and care about user experience and outcomes
You’re opinionated and willing to challenge ideas constructively
You’re autonomous and don’t need to be told exactly what to do
You’re excited to grind alongside a small, ambitious team
You’re open to feedback and value collaboration
You want to grow quickly and push your own limits
We’re a small, highly collaborative team that operates with a lot of ownership and trust:
We stay in constant sync. We’re on Slack throughout the day: calling each other, sharing progress, and unblocking quickly.
We run a daily standup. Every day, we share what we shipped yesterday and what we’re driving forward today.
We work in a Kanban style. There’s always a clear view of what’s in progress, what’s next, and what needs attention.
We build the roadmap together. Anyone can propose ideas, shape them, and push them forward. The best ideas get prioritized.
We self-select into work. People raise their hand for projects they’re excited about and take full ownership of delivering them.
We move fast and expect quality. We ship quickly, but we care deeply about product quality. High throughput and low bugs are both non-negotiable.
We challenge each other. We push on ideas, give direct feedback, and aim for the best outcome.

Recruiting Partner Marketplace: When companies need help, Dover connects them with top-tier, fractional recruiters through our on-demand marketplace. Recruiting Partners are experienced, startup-savvy professionals who can step in quickly to manage sourcing, interviewing, closing, and more — without the cost or commitment of an agency or full-time hire.
