It's an open door for builders who want in on what we're doing. Every hire crosses a line. Before the offer, the work is finding the right person. After the offer, the work has to be right: identity, work authorization, background checks, tax forms, union agreements, credentials. Someone's name is on every one of them. AI agents are taking over the first half. Nobody is taking the accountability for the second. That's us. Onboarded is the API for the workflows that have to be right. We never built I-9 as a feature. We built primitives: an ontology of the worker, the job, the client and the employer, forms written as code, policies kept current, automations that react when a fact changes. More than six million workers have become eligible for work on that engine. Some of the largest HR tech platforms in the world run on it under their own brand. And it's starting to run work that has nothing to do with onboarding at all. An agent can decide. An agent cannot be liable. Every hiring agent being built right now needs a deterministic, auditable layer underneath it. We're building that layer, and we're a small team doing it. If you've read this far and thought "I want to build that," we want to hear from you, even if no role on our careers page fits. ## What You'll Do We hire for the person first and shape the seat around what you're great at. Here's the work that needs doing: Build the engine. Extend the ontology, the policy engine and the automations framework. Make agents first-class callers through our APIs and MCP server. Build the agent that writes configuration. Turn a policy, a union contract or a customer request into config a human reviews and ships. This is how a small team serves a big market. Deploy into the field. Embed with customers and partners and build their compliance workflows as code. Everyone here gets close to the people who use what we build. Grow the ecosystem. Open doors with the hiring platforms, staffing systems and HR software companies that distribute Onboarded, and turn signed partnerships into live customers. Tell the story. Define a category in public. Write, ship, film and teach how the work that has to be right gets done in the agent era. Make developers love it. Build the sandbox, the quickstart, the docs and the open-source packages that let a developer ship compliant onboarding in ten minutes. ## What We're Looking For Titles and pedigree matter less here than how you work. Every person at Onboarded shares a few things: You build. Code, systems, partnerships, stories, whatever your craft is. You'd rather ship something real this week than plan something perfect next quarter. AI is how you work. You use AI tools as a force multiplier every day, whatever your role. This is non-negotiable. You care about getting it right. Our work decides whether a real person starts their job on time and compliantly. You know the difference between fast and right, and you deliver both. You own outcomes, not tasks. If you see it, you own it. Nobody routes it to you. You get close to the customer. You'd rather sit with the people using the product than guess what they need. You say it plainly. Short sentences. Conviction first. Clearly wrong and corrected beats vaguely right. Experience in HR tech, staffing, payroll, developer platforms or employment compliance is a strong signal but not required. Learning velocity counts just as much. This is not a fit for someone who wants a defined lane, a long ramp, or a big company's structure. It is for builders who want to own something that matters, early. ## Why Onboarded The timing is now. Agents are rewriting how hiring works, and every one of them needs a layer it can trust underneath. We're already that layer for millions of workers. The next few years decide who owns it. Your work ships and it matters. A small team means everything you build reaches production and real people. No layers between you and the outcome. You'll build next to the founders. A direct line to our CEO, co-founder and CTO, who are in customer accounts and code every week. You'll shape the company, not just a feature. ## What We Offer Competitive salary and equity in a fast-growing startup Health, dental, vision, and retirement benefits Remote-first culture with optional in-person collaboration A chance to build the layer every hiring agent depends on How to Apply Send a short introduction + your resume, LinkedIn or GitHub to careers@onboarded.com with "Open Role" in the subject. Tell us three things: what you'd want to build here, one thing you've built that you're proud of, and how AI tools fit into your work. Skip the cover letter. Show us. ## About Onboarded ## Company Overview - **One-liner**: Onboarded provides an AI-powered onboarding and compliance orchestration engine for companies that hire at volume, automating every step from offer acceptance to worker activation. - **Entity Type**: Private (Startup) – Seed stage (USD 1M raised) - **Headquarters**: Incline Village, Nevada, United States (fully distributed company) - **Founded**: 2022 - **Founders**: Mike Johnson (CEO) and Matt Wu (COO) ## Core Business - **Industry**: HR Technology / Workforce Management / Compliance Software - **Target Customers**: B2B – staffing firms, high-volume employers, gig platforms, and any organization that needs to onboard workers across multiple clients, locations, or worker types - **Mission**: "Build the AI-First Future of HR" – Get workers from accepted to ready to work reliably, compliantly, and without manual chaos. ## Products & Services - **[Onboarded Platform]** – An AI orchestration engine that sits between an ATS and HRIS/payroll, automatically evaluating each new placement’s compliance requirements (role, location, client context) and executing workflows: forms, verifications, background checks, I‑9/E‑Verify, and system handoffs. Workers complete steps via a mobile‑first experience. Ops teams handle only exceptions. Available as a standalone SaaS product or embedded via API. - **Embeddable API** – Allows partners (e.g., staffing platforms, marketplaces) to integrate onboarding and compliance logic directly into their own products. ## Market Standing - **Valuation / Funding**: USD 1M total funding (Seed round closed July 27, 2025) - **Key Metric**: Headcount of 24 employees (+81.2% YoY growth) - **Notable Investors / Partners**: Backed by SemperVirens, Resolute Ventures, Jefferies, CameronVC, Forum Ventures, Cambrian Ventures, Mischief, and Battle Born Ventures. - **Growth Signals**: 99%+ self‑service onboarding completion, 85%+ reduction in manual data entry; growing client base (e.g., Reflex, Indeed Flex); team expanded from 11 to 24 in one year; now hiring a Senior Solutions Engineer. ## Competitive Advantages - **System of Action, not System of Record** – Unlike ATS/HRIS tools that only store data, Onboarded actively *executes* the compliance steps between systems, eliminating manual coordination. - **AI‑First Orchestration** – AI agents automatically route requirements based on role, location, and client context, without human configuration. - **High‑Volume, Multi‑Client Compliance** – Purpose‑built for the complexity of staffing firms with multiple clients, locations, and worker types (W2, contractor, light industrial, professional). - **50+ Native Integrations** – Pre‑built connectors to common ATS, HRIS, background check, and payroll platforms, plus an API‑first design for custom connections. ## Strategic Focus - Deepen AI capabilities to further automate compliance rule evaluation and exception handling. - Expand embedded partnerships to power onboarding experiences inside third‑party hiring platforms. - Scale the team to meet demand from high‑volume employers and staffing firms. ## Why Work Here - **Remote‑First Culture**: Fully distributed team with headquarters in Incline Village, Nevada, and team members across the US and other countries (Pakistan, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Malaysia). Regular in‑person gatherings to strengthen collaboration. - **Lean, Mission‑Driven Team**: Small team of engineers, product thinkers, compliance experts, and GTM operators working on a problem with real operational impact. Emphasis on ownership and impact. - **Growth Trajectory**: 81% YoY headcount growth, early‑stage startup with strong investor backing – opportunity to shape product and culture. - **Tech Stack & Tools**: Modern AI‑first stack; uses AI in hiring process (e.g., analyzing applications) to maintain efficiency. - **Notable Perks**: Not explicitly listed, but remote flexibility, distributed work, and a “system of action” engineering challenge are key draws. ## Sources 1.
