Job Level
Tech Stack
About the role
- Own features end-to-end — from scoping the problem with users, to writing frontend and backend code, to deploying and monitoring in production
- Build fast, polished interfaces in Vue, Next.js, or React
- Design and build backend services in Go
- Own and operate Kubernetes infrastructure — deployments, scaling, monitoring, troubleshooting
- Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code
- Administer and harden Linux systems; own networking end-to-end (DNS, firewalls, load balancers, ingress, VPNs)
- Set up monitoring, alerting, and runbooks. Run incident response and post-mortems
- Dogfood our product relentlessly. Use it daily, break it on purpose, file detailed bugs, push the team to ship better software
- Automate everything. If you're doing it manually more than once, script it
- Operate cloud infrastructure (GCP, AWS, or Azure)
- Use AI dev tools (Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, etc.) to move faster and ship more
Requirements
- 0–2 years of experience — new grads welcome, what matters is what you can do
- Strong in at least one of: frontend (JavaScript/TypeScript, Vue/React/Next.js), backend (Go, service design, APIs), or infrastructure (Linux, Kubernetes, networking)
- Comfortable working across the stack — you don't need to be an expert in everything, but you're not afraid to jump in
- Testing mindset — you enjoy breaking things and making sure code works
- Product instincts — you think about the user first and notice when something feels off
- High agency — when something is broken, you fix it; when something is missing, you build it
- Ship fast, iterate, communicate clearly
- Comfortable with ambiguity. Requirements change. Priorities shift. You thrive in that
Benefits
- Competitive salary and equity based on experience
- Hybrid — 3 days in office, 2 days WFH
