Software Engineer (Full-stack)

We're hiring a senior full-stack engineer with a center of gravity on backend, infrastructure, and performance. You'll set technical foundations alongside the founding engineering team. Our stack is Remix/React, Postgres, Redis, Node.js, AWS + Terraform.

• Design and optimize backend systems for performance, scalability, and reliability
• Ship features end to end with engineers, designers, and the founders
• Own CI, testing, and deployment infrastructure
• Improve observability, monitoring, and alerting so we respond to incidents faster
• Optimize databases and infrastructure with caching, connection pooling, and the rest
• Make real-time, synchronized data delivery feel instant

• 7+ years of backend and infrastructure engineering, or 3 to 7 years if you've been a founding/early engineer at a sub-50-person startup, a CTO of a small company, or at a product-focused company that cares about craft
• Fluency in at least one major language (Python, TypeScript, Go, Java, C++)
• Strong SQL and NoSQL fundamentals
• Real database fluency. intuitive schema design, uniqueness constraints at the DB level, transactions, migrations as files, double-write patterns for zero-downtime changes
• Experience on AWS, GCP, or Azure
• Experience with containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
• Comfort with performance profiling and optimization
• A track record of shipping at startups or small teams. you've owned things end to end, not just a slice of a big-tech codebase
• Side projects, open source contributions, or anything you've put into the world that has adoption. we want to see what you've built because you wanted it to exist
• Exploratory communication. you think out loud, name tradeoffs, ask clarifying questions, stay low-ego when corrected
• Product instinct. you notice user implications and ask about the roadmap, not just the stack
• Comfort with ambiguity and high autonomy

• Microservices architecture
• Network protocols and security best practices
• Infrastructure as code (Terraform, Ansible)
• Familiarity with our stack: Remix/React, Postgres, Redis, Node.js, AWS + Terraform, Vercel, Datadog, GitHub, Slack, Notion
• Outsized love for music

• Flexible days in office
• Free lunch in the office
• Competitive salary and equity
• Health, dental, and vision insurance
• Opportunities for professional growth and development
• A collaborative team that actually works together

• Competitive base salary
• Competitive equity package
• Medical, dental, and vision benefits
