About You
We are looking for a founding engineer who is opinionated, independent, and appreciates ownership, accountability, and high-velocity environments. You will have the opportunity to help build and lead a team around yourself and make high-level technical/architectural decisions.
The role requires a person who thrives in less structured environments, with an ability to wear multiple hats (e.g. frontend, backend, devops, talking to customers, etc.). E.g. if you aspire to be a founder yourself, you may be a great fit!
Engineering Responsibilities
At the end of the day, your most important responsibility will be to ship new features at a high velocity in order to maximize our company's rate of product experimentation (and thereby our rate of learning).
You’ll make key architectural decisions that will become pillars of the engineering org for years to come. At the same time, you’ll have to make serious trade-offs to balance speed of execution with quality. You’ll decide what technical debt is worth taking on, what components should be built versus bought, and when it’s worth spending an extra week to engineer a solid foundation.
Location/Remote Work
We're based in San Francisco and prefer candidates who are based in the bay area and interested in working in-person but are open to remote candidates from other regions as well.
Culture
We are a tight knit team and we bring our full selves to work. We make that possible by fostering a culture of openness, transparency, and collaboration. We like working on problems with social impact. The avg person spends 90,000 hours at work over their lifetime and we think it's important to spend that time working on problems you enjoy solving, with people you enjoy spending time with.
Studdy
