About us

One of the largest trends that has happened in the last few decades is how people work. Although in the software world remote work has been done for several years, never has the tooling been built from the ground up for software engineers. We are building the engineering productivity supertools for the new world.

We strongly believe that we can provide developers with superpowers to build faster and better by solving the challenges that they face every day.

We are an early-stage YC-backed startup building developer tools for high-growth companies. We are a team of ex-Googlers with backgrounds building engineering teams at several fast-growing Silicon Valley startups.

Our customers include high-growth companies such as Doordash, Square, Benchling, Figma.

About the role

We are looking for an early fullstack engineer to join our nimble team to build the initial product alongside the founders. This person will be an extension to us, the founders, and have the same voice on the table. We think of early engineers as having the ethos of being a founder themselves.

An ideal candidate has a unique mix of software expertise, system designs, and proficiency in HCI.

What you will do

  1. Work closely with the users to understand their development needs and use cases to guide our roadmap. Ensure customer needs are supported by the broader engineering team through effective prioritization.
  2. Build prototypes all the way to final products. Solve complex issues for our users.
  3. Collaborate with our founders to gather requirements through detailed technical discussions and brainstorming sessions.
  4. Explore new product development areas driven by strategic understanding of the users landscape.
  5. Take ownership and drive initiatives for segments within the product.

We’re looking for someone who has:

  1. Shipped full-stack products before - whether it was in your day job or projects outside of work.
  2. Experience working in a low-structure environment, comfortable working with unknowns.
  3. Passion for building engineering tools, excited about solving problems for engineers.
  4. Strong communication skills.
  5. Previous experience building internal engineering tools a plus.

Why you should join us

  1. Have an impact from day 1. You will be working very closely with the founders every day.
  2. Solve your own problems, as a software engineer, you get to solve problems that you face every day.
  3. Own the product - drive the product vision, participate in building the early team and work closely with the users.

Benefits

  1. Health/Dental/Vision
  2. Unlimited vacation policy
  3. Transparency - we overshare all investor and company updates with everyone
