Why this matters to you: funding stage is a rough proxy for how long the runway is and how much structure to expect. It is not a promise, and a profitable bootstrapped company can be the safer bet.

Check the company’s own careers page — linked at the top — before a job board. A role appears there first, sometimes weeks before it is syndicated anywhere else.
