Y Combinator is a small, elite organization of approximately 110-130 employees headquartered in San Francisco. Despite its outsized influence on the global technology ecosystem — having funded Airbnb, Stripe, Dropbox, Reddit, and thousands more — the internal team is remarkably lean, meaning every hire has significant impact.
YC uses Ashby as its applicant tracking system, with all open positions listed at jobs.ashbyhq.com/ycombinator. As of early 2026, the company typically has fewer than 6+ open roles at any given time, concentrated in Software (product engineering) and Finance departments.
