       Ask HN: What do you consider a founding engineer?
        
       I keep seeing ads for "Founding Engineer" jobs, and right now I see
       an add for #2 Founding Engineer.  In my mind, a founding engineer
       is someone who holds at least 10% of the stock or has at least 50%
       as much as the founders, if they have less than 20% each.  What is
       your definition of a founding engineer? It seems like most of these
       ads are just using the term for an early hire.
