Questions
How many Elite Startups jobs are open right now?
OnJob is tracking 5,042 open roles across 48 Elite Startups employers in September 2026, 518 of them in India. OpenAI has the most with 785. These are live listings crawled from the companies' own careers pages.
Which Startups companies are hiring in India?
By open roles right now: OpenAI (785), Anthropic (598), Harvey (319), Brex (271), ElevenLabs (252), Scale AI (217). This counts roles advertised publicly; companies that hire mainly through referrals are under-represented.
Are Elite Startups jobs worth it compared to a stable job?
Open roles at the fast-rising, top-tier startups — many AI-native, most venture-backed by the best funds. On the current feed, 41% of these roles are remote or hybrid. The trade-off is real: smaller teams mean wider scope and faster learning, against less structure and more risk. Read the role, not just the logo.
How is this list built and how current is it?
From OnJob's own crawl of company career pages, refreshed continuously. The Elite Startups set is a curated list of employers matched by company — never by keyword — so a "Startups" role really is at a Startups company. It measures advertised demand, not headcount, and is free to reuse with attribution.

<a href="https://onjob.io/startup-jobs">Elite Startups jobs in India — September 2026 — OnJob.io</a> Quick answer: how do I get hired at these companies?
Apply early and apply narrow. Companies in this group receive far more applications than they have roles, so screening is aggressive and a resume that mirrors the posting is what clears the first gate. Referrals matter more here than almost anywhere else, so find one person you already know at the company before applying cold.
Is this list of companies current?
The companies shown carry live openings pulled from their own applicant-tracking systems, so one disappears from this board when it stops posting. Membership of the group is fixed, but the roles are not, which is why the count moves between visits rather than sitting at a round number.
