Software Engineer

We're a small but mighty team looking to build out the rest of our engineering org.

As a software engineer, you'll end up working on everything up and down the stack. You'll spend a lot of time talking to customers, figuring out what the product should be, and jamming with the rest of the team on building and iterating. We'll all be wearing many different hats, so you'll work on and learn a ton about areas adjacent to engineering — design, sales, legal, partnerships, and whatever else you're interested in.

And, most importantly, you'll be building this company with us. There's a lot to figure out. We want to work with folks who care deeply about the process of building the right company: from what operating values we should have, building out the rest of the team, decisions about how we should scale, and everything in between.

Our tech stack is Typescript, React and Next.js on the client, GraphQL API, Node.js + Express on the server, Postgres, and AWS.

• Are an experienced engineer with experience leading large-scope projects.
• Previously worked in a fast-paced engineering environment. Ideally, you have experience building complex products or infrastructure end-to-end.
• Obsess over the details, whether it’s getting that user-facing flow or code abstraction just right. We take great pride in things that have a high level of craftsmanship, both inside and outside of work.
• Know when to “move fast and break things”, and when to slow down and think through all of the details to build something robust and scalable.
• Are intellectually curious and enjoy digging into the nuts-and-bolts of how things work.
• Debate without animosity or ego. We thrive on thinking from first principles, questioning assumptions, and always pushing to make things better.
• Care deeply not just about engineering, but about building the right product and company culture. As a founding team member, you’ll have a huge impact on the company’s story.
