Company Description

Saffron is building a platform to test how well candidates can use coding agents. The way engineers write code has fundamentally changed, but the way companies evaluate them hasn't. Saffron gives hiring teams full visibility into how candidates use AI agents to build, debug, and ship real features on an actual codebase. Saffron was founded by Robert Chondro (formerly MIT and Jane Street), Jerry Yao (Stanford and Jane Street), and Kazuma Choji (Harvey Mudd, published in NeurIPS and ICML), and is backed by Y Combinator (P26) and Afore Capital.
