Tips
What actually gets replies
- 01
Search the ATS, not just LinkedIn
Most startups post on Ashby, Greenhouse or Lever before anywhere else. Use the link builder above: it searches those sites directly for your role and city.
- 02
Use VC portfolio boards
One search on Peak XV or Accel covers hundreds of funded companies. Few candidates know these exist, so competition is lower.
- 03
Apply in the first 48 hours
Set alerts for your exact title and city. Early applications get read; week-old ones sit behind hundreds of others.
- 04
A referral beats a cold apply
Ask an engineer at the company, not HR. Send the exact job link and three lines on why you fit, so forwarding it takes them ten seconds.
- 05
DM the hiring manager
Find who posted the role or leads the team. Keep it to four lines and link proof: a shipped project with a real number beats any adjective.
- 06
Build in public
A small tool with real users or eval results gives interviewers something concrete to ask about. Post what you learned while building it.
- 07
Mirror the job description
Rewrite the top third of your resume for each role using the posting's own words. ATS filters and tired recruiters both scan for them.
- 08
Track everything, follow up once
Log every application. If you hear nothing in 5 to 7 days, send one short follow-up, then move on.
- 09
FDE roles hide under other titles
Also search Applied AI Engineer, AI Solutions Engineer, Customer Engineer and Agent Engineer. In India much of this work is posted under those names.
- 10
Go where builders are
Two meetups a month. Talk to the speakers, show your demo, ask what their team is struggling with. Most referrals start this way.
- 11
Know your number before the call
Check Levels.fyi and AmbitionBox for the company and level. Give a range anchored on data, not on your current salary.
- 12
Make your profiles findable
Same name, photo and one-line pitch on LinkedIn, X, GitHub and Peerlist. Recruiters search all four.
