How this works and who is usually considered
Founders aren’t just hiring coders—they’re hiring builders. They look beyond resumes and care about visibility, initiative, and consistency. Here’s how the Founders Office works—and who usually gets picked.
01
Top talent isn’t just about LeetCode anymore. Founders are looking for people who code and communicate. Those who rank high on the Zencode Leaderboard and are active on the feed stand out the most.
02
You don’t need to be perfect—you need to show up often. Founders notice those who post regularly, share what they’re building, and engage with others. That’s the kind of energy startups thrive on.
03
Cod3r flips the script. You’re not getting hired because of a GPA or a CV. You’re getting hired because you took initiative—you built something, you helped others, you showed up to CodeNights. That’s what makes you hire-worthy.
04
The more you post, the more you rank, the more you engage—the more visible you become. This visibility isn’t just clout—it’s currency. Founders browse through the platform looking for the ones who are already doing the work.
05
Founders want people who document the process, not just share the result. If you’re posting about your learning journey, project struggles, and progress—even if it’s messy—you’re the kind of person they want on the team.
Built for the ones who are not afraid to show up and build in public, those are who the founders look for
