Software Engineer (Full-stack)

In-office / Brooklyn, NY.

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
