What we're looking for:
- You will be the first full-stack engineer on the team—you'll work directly with the co-founders and significantly influence and drive the direction and culture of the company
- You think backwards from user experience and have a sense of building delightful products
- You know when to move fast with a bias for action, and when to slow things down with a more considered process
- Have a passion for the interdisciplinary problem that we are solving and are product-driven. Our product roadmap has features that are large with open-ended scope
- Can deconstruct tricky problems and work towards a simple solution, by yourself or collaboratively with teammates and are comfortable asking for help when you get stuck
- Are left to autonomously figure out the solutions to their challenges
- Put yourself in the shoes of our users to craft a great experience
- Enjoy being a generalist and is naturally curious and willing to take a step to learn something you don’t have experience in while building the product
- Feel a great sense of accountability to each other and are open to ambiguity
- Uphold best practices in engineering, security, and design
What you'll do:
- Given an initial design, consistently deliver a new product feature and think like a product manager while being responsible for delivering jaw-dropping experiences to the end-user
- Rapidly shift our codebase from Chrome Application(in VueJS) to design ElectronJS app to run natively on Mac and Windows. Also, work on our web application.
- Design and engineer human-in-the-loop UI interfaces in collaboration with co-founders and designer
- Improve performance and reliability of existing features
- Care about the growth of others and will be expected and empowered to raise the levels of engineers on the team.
- Ship large features regularly at a rapid pace. We move quickly and will need you to accelerate what we're doing to deliver the product to market.
- Hack around web technologies creatively by digging deeper (We do this often to run certain things)
- You’ll be a key player in the culture that we cultivate.
Skills & Experience (You would get straight up to speed on day one if you)
- 2+ years of working full-time as a software engineer (we are happy to waive the experience criteria if you feel you are exceptional, educational qualification is no bar)
- You've owned & built features from start to finish before
- Proficient with modern web development tools (git, GitHub, VSCode) & web technologies (VueJS, ElectronJS and GraphQL) with knowledge of algorithms and data structures
- Use NoSQL Databases to build flexible web apps
- Use GraphQL to build efficient resolvers for frontend
- Use serverless architectures using Lambda functions in AWS
- Use WebRTC to build streaming apps
Bonus Points:
- You have an interest in Human-Computer Interaction and understand how computing has evolved over the years. We adore works of Vannevar Bush, Doug Engelbart and Mark Weiser and it reflects in our product
- You enjoy going through the research papers to get inspired from academia about user interfaces to put us ahead of the game
- If you mention some of your biggest failures in your CV/Resume
