Full Job Description
About The Role:

Engineers have the freedom to create a lot of impact for our customers. The role requires high agency and comfort with change. It requires people who believe the interesting problems in Engineering are stack-agnostic. It requires Engineers who believe that solving customer problems quickly is what matters first; building scalable systems matters when customer problems are scaling problems.

We follow a hybrid work model, and for this role, there is an expectation of 2 days per week in our SF or NYC office. Candidates should be based within a commutable distance, as we believe in the value of in-person collaboration and building strong team connections while also supporting flexibility where possible.

What You'll Do:
  • Work in React, Redux, Ruby, Rails, Postgres, and potentially Scala, Python, and Go to solve problems for our customers.
  • Dive into all layers of the stack; frontend, backend, API, data processors, etc.
  • Jam with Product Managers, Designers, Ops, and other Engineers every day to shape the direction of our products.
  • Share your knowledge with others in Engineering; people should get better at their craft because they work with you. Even if you're early in your career, you have something to teach.
  • Contribute to the psychological safety of your team. Software is built by groups of people, and good relationships matter.
  • Help us interview and hire other Engineers.


What We're Looking For:
  • While we agree the interesting problems in Engineering are stack-agnostic, we'd love it if you had experience with a couple of the languages in our stack (see the first point above). We've found that Engineers with prior stack experience usually ramp faster.
  • You've worked for a high-growth, venture-backed startup before and are looking for a similar role. Or, you've founded a company and are looking to get back into it.
  • You've been working as a professional Software Engineer for at least three or more years.
  • You understand SaaS business fundamentals (e.g. annual contract value, customer acquisition cost, and annual-recurring revenue) and can demonstrate how the work you've done influences these metrics.
