Full Job Description
05. The Role

You'll own the full arc of getting Temper running in production at enterprise customers: scoping integrations, deploying them, and keeping them live. You're the person customers rely on when it matters.

Every customer engagement surfaces something: an edge case, a pattern, a gap. You'll build the fix yourself -- directly in the product -- and ship it. The feedback loop from production to roadmap to code runs through you.

Stack: TypeScript, React, Bun, Effect-TS, PostgreSQL, Kubernetes, AWS

You're comfortable running multiple AI agents in parallel. You pick up new things fast.

06. You Might Be a Fit If
  • You've shipped real things end-to-end, multiple times. You owned them.
  • You're energized by customer problems, not just engineering ones.
  • You code with AI agents and lean into it, with enough taste to know what's worth shipping.
  • You hold strong technical opinions and change them when the evidence says so.
  • You move independently.
  • You want to do the best work of your career.
  • You want a true early-stage, in-person experience in San Francisco: fast-paced, high intensity.

07. What We Offer
  • Top-quartile compensation and meaningful equity
  • Top-tier office in San Francisco
  • M4 MacBook Pro and whatever else you need to move fast
  • Full health coverage

08. The Process
  • Screen (20 min): Quick chat, mutual fit.
  • Deep dive (45 min): Your career, what you've built, how you think.
  • Technical (60 min): Design a system with us. No leetcode.
  • Paid work day: A real task from our backlog, in person.
  • Offer: Under two weeks from first call to offer.
