Build end-to-end features and new products for a creator-focused marketing platform. Work across frontend and backend, collaborate with design and users, make architectural decisions, and establish engineering standards, tooling, and processes for a growing team.
Laylo powers drops for some of the world’s biggest creators and brands. Drops have become the predominant marketing strategy for merch, tickets and content and we're building the leading CRM to power them. The platform combines landing pages, messaging, link tracking, and more to empower musicians, live events, promoters, and brands with the tools to drive more sales and streams around their most important moments.
We’re building a next-generation marketing platform complete with drop campaigns, cross-platform messaging, landing pages, and link tracking –giving creators the power to own and activate their fanbase.
As a full stack engineer, writing code and building beautiful user experiences is just one part of your job. You'll also talk to users, get involved with design, and develop your own opinion on what needs to exist in the world. Then you'll move with urgency to make it happen.
Laylo now powers Drops to over 60 million fans across music and live events. Notable customers include Sabrina Carpenter, Usher, Outside Lands and more.
To learn more about how we work, take a look at Our Values
- You'll work with a small engineering team to build mission-critical tools for creators.
- As one of our first engineers, you'll build entirely new products from scratch and make important architectural decisions.
- You'll be responsible for planning, organizing, and executing entire projects end to end, from idea to launch. To do so, you'll have to work closely with design, operations, and (of course) creators.
- You'll help build the foundation for Laylo engineering standards, tooling, and processes.
- Creators are the most visual people on the planet -- you'll build a user experience that is both visually stunning and easy-to-use.
- As we grow, we'll build up an engineering team around you.
- Experience with: React, Node.js, Typescript, GraphQL, AWS Services (EC2, S3, Lambda), Claude Code, Cursor
We're looking for someone who:
- Cares about culture and wants to build something meaningful. The tools we create will empower the next generation of entrepreneurs, and we take that responsibility seriously.
- Enjoys all aspects of building a product from scratch. You love talking to customers just as much as making technical decisions.
- Understands the importance of both speed and quality, and the trade-offs of choosing one over the other.
- Has 3+ years experience with frontend development, preferably with hands-on experience with React, Typescript, and Graphql
- Wants to join a tight-knit team -- we work on solutions as a whole engineering team. If you love working on the end-to-end product experience, you'll love working here.
If this role isn’t a fit for you but you’d like to work with us, find all of our open roles here.
Our founders met while building competing consumer startups. We’ve launched multiple products across consumer and SaaS and talked to thousands of fans and creators in the process. In 2020, we realized one of the biggest pain points creators and brands have is building high conversion drop experiences and engaging with their fans.
We went through Y Combinator in summer 2020 while building that new product and after seeing really strong early traction, raised our seed round in mid 2021.
Right now we're a small team that's mostly based in Los Angeles but working from remotely with other team members in various states. We're open to hiring remotely (in North America), but expect to find an office in Los Angeles at some point TBD.
We have a strong written documentation culture, leveraging Notion to share ideas and record processes and learnings. We try to do as much as possible asynchronously to move quickly and efficiently. We have a daily 30 minute standup and operate across Slack, Notion & Figma.
The base pay range for this role is $120 – $175 per year.
