Company background

Stellar Sleep is on a mission to help millions of people worldwide with chronic insomnia get better sleep.

Since our launch in 2022, we have already helped tens of thousands of people get better sleep. Our product works. We have strong clinical data showing best-in-class efficacy and an ongoing clinical study with Harvard Medical School/Brigham & Women’s Hospital sponsored by the US Department of Commerce.

Our company is profitable and well-funded. We raised a seed round from top investors including Initialized Capital and Y Combinator and are growing extremely fast.

We’re a lean but highly effective team with prior leadership experience at Google, McKinsey, and Airbnb. We’re looking for a founding product engineer who’s an effective IC, interested in healthcare, obsessed with achieving excellence and wants to join us at our office in San Francisco. This is a rare opportunity to work on meaningful projects, contribute to a mission that truly matters, and grow alongside a driven and high-caliber team.

Requirements

You do not need to have a healthcare background to apply for this role. We believe that the slope matters more than the y-intercept, and we’re happy to provide you with the guidance and support you need to become an expert in this space.

  1. 3-6 years of professional software engineering experience
  2. Bachelor's in computer science or an equivalent degree
  3. Full-stack engineer proficient in both TypeScript and Python, and have coded in both languages in the last 2 years.
  4. Proficient in either Django Rest Framework or NextJS. Bonus if you’re proficient in both.
  5. Live in San Francisco or able to relocate to San Francisco
  6. Excited to work from the office 4 days a week

About the interview

We are a small team, so each additional hire will play a significant role in shaping our culture. As such, our hiring process is designed to filter for candidates who are both highly motivated and meet our bar for excellence. A key part of our hiring process is the take-home assignment and demo, which assess product, design, and engineering skills.

  1. Intro/screening call with CTO (~30 mins)
  2. Take-home assignment (~6 hours)
  3. Take-home assignment demo (30 mins)
  4. Onsite/meet the team + lunch (5 hours)
