Executive Summary
10x was first introduced to BrightHire in July of 2019. At the time, BrightHire was in stealth mode and had just raised a seed round of funding. Looking for a full-stack engineer to lead the architecture development of its MVP, BrightHire engaged with a top 10xer to lead its product build. BrightHire then hired another three 10xers, including a backend/machine learning expert, a DevOps expert, and a full-stack developer. Producing excellent work, two of these 10xers were hired full time by BrightHire to serve as senior members on the engineering team. As of 2022, BrightHire has raised its Series B round and $36M in total funding
