SaaS Startup Employment Contract Generator

This Employment Contract is between the Employer, a software-as-a-service startup developing and operating a cloud-based platform, and the Employee. The company builds, deploys, and maintains a SaaS product serving business or consumer subscribers, employing software engineers, product managers, designers, marketers, and customer success professionals in a fast-moving startup environment.

Employment is permanent from the Start Date under the employment laws of the applicable jurisdiction. This contract is the complete agreement and supersedes all prior offer letters or verbal commitments.

SaaS startups operate in a high-growth, rapidly evolving environment where roles may expand or shift as the product and market develop. The Employee acknowledges this dynamic and accepts that their responsibilities may evolve beyond the initial job description as the company scales.

A three-month probationary period applies. For engineering roles, the Employer evaluates code quality, deployment frequency, pull request review contributions, and ability to ship product features within sprint timelines. For non-engineering roles, assessment covers domain competency, contribution to team OKRs, and alignment with the startup's pace and culture.

Either party may terminate during probation with statutory notice. A review at six weeks covers the Employee's onboarding velocity, initial project deliverables, collaboration with cross-functional teammates, and understanding of the product's technical architecture and user base.

Permanent employment follows successful probation. Extension is available if the Employee requires additional ramp-up time on the technology stack or has not yet completed a full product release cycle.
