Обязанности

As a senior member of our small but mighty engineering team, you'll work closely with our cross-functional product team to conceptualize, implement, and ship features from start to finish, as well as own the maintenance and evolution of our backend tech stack and infrastructure. Whether iterating on core workflows, driving product initiatives, or building critical infrastructure, you'll be thinking nonstop about how to improve our customers' experience and scale the product. And, you'll be an early member of the team and lend your unique voice and perspective to the shaping of not just the product, but the company itself.
This position is based in our San Francisco office where our engineering team collaborates in-office 4 days a week. We're big believers in trust and in a healthy work/life balance: we want you to be productive and connected with the team, but we're not here to micromanage.
Technical leadership:  Employ software engineering best practices to ensure our codebase remains well-tested and bug-free. As an early engineer, you’ll have a prominent voice in engineering decisions and technical direction across the stack.
Infrastructure: Guide the future of our tech stack. To support greater usage and a larger customer base, our infrastructure needs to evolve, as does the way we store, query, and process data. You’ll not only be a key decision-maker, but will anticipate technical constraints and proactively find and engineer solutions.
Systems design:  Independently drive decisions on software architecture, data modeling, and infrastructure that scale with our customer base and perform reliably for our users.
Product development:  Work closely with the engineering and product team to plan, architect, and implement features. Your work will lean heavily toward the backend and API, but you’ll collaborate closely with frontend engineers and always think holistically about the product.
Integrations: Build and maintain robust integrations with third-party platforms—some modern and well-documented, others more outdated and opaque. You’ll grow to be a leader on the team’s integrations ecosystem and an expert on our external-facing systems and solutions.
Team building:  Be an active part of shaping 's culture, helping to recruit and mentor new team members and cultivating a positive, inclusive, and collaborative work environment.

Требования

Experience: Minimum of 4-6 years of professional software experience, including meaningful backend experience and exposure to full-stack work. You've designed and scaled complex backend systems, worked with internal and external APIs, and shipped to real customers on a regular basis.
Modern tech:  Familiarity working with Node.js, TypeScript, GraphQL, React, and Postgres.
Problem solver:  You're good at understanding and breaking down complex problems. You are resourceful and comfortable with ambiguity, and can make good decisions and forward progress even when requirements are unclear.
Product focused:  You take pride in building scalable, resilient software that delights users and advances the company’s business objectives.
Great communicator:  You engage thoughtfully and effectively with others, and you're an attentive and empathetic listener. You can adapt your communication style to different audiences and confidently break down tricky topics in writing and in person.
Growth mindset:  You're eager to learn, comfortable asking questions, and receptive to feedback.
