Hire a TypeScript Developer
in New York

NYC founders have a worse hiring problem than the funding headlines suggest. Half your top engineering candidates are weighing your seed offer against a $400K Google package. The dev shops in town are agency-of-record operations billing hourly, or staffing shops shoveling juniors into your team.

We're neither. One named senior engineer owns the build end-to-end. Flat price quoted after a 30-minute call. Eastern Time, same as your General Catalyst partner and your midtown customers. When we finish, the code is in your GitHub and the contract is over. No retainer.

New York's accelerator bench runs deep — Techstars NYC and ERA (Entrepreneurs Roundtable Accelerator, 375+ startups backed since 2011) both run active cohorts, backed by early-stage funds like Union Square Ventures, Lerer Hippeau and BoxGroup. The city pulled $28.5B in VC in 2024 — 13.3% of the entire US total, more than Boston, LA and Philadelphia combined — and tech added 42,000+ jobs here since 2019. Fintech is the real story: NYC hosts roughly 4,000 fintech startups and captured 30% of all US fintech funding in 2024, up from 22.7% just four years earlier. That density means your seed-stage offer isn't just competing with other startups — it's competing with JPMorgan and Goldman Sachs, who hire thousands of engineers a year and can outbid almost anyone at the senior level.

New York's early-stage capital got even more concentrated in 2026: Primary Venture Partners, already the city's largest early-stage VC by operator headcount, closed a $625M Fund V that February — its biggest ever — writing $5-10M checks into 40-50 companies. The academic pipeline compounds it: Cornell Tech's Roosevelt Island campus generated $768M in economic impact and supported 2,800 NYC jobs through 115 alumni-founded startups in a single year, a number projected to double by 2030. Fintech keeps expanding too — Bilt is opening a 58,000-sq-ft Meatpacking District headquarters in early 2026, adding 625 jobs on top of the 200+ it's retaining, backed by New York State tax credits. None of that capital or talent is sitting idle waiting for your seed round.

New York runs on Fintech and B2B SaaS more than most outsiders assume — which is exactly the kind of codebase a typescript developer here ends up owning.

A senior typescript developer here is a ~$388K year-one outlay after benefits, payroll tax, and the 60–90 day search. We're a $3,000+ flat engagement that starts inside seven days.
