About the Role
An early-stage startup, growing exceptionally fast with a small and talent-dense team, is hiring Senior Software Engineers to build and own core product from the ground up.
The team is small, senior, and moving quickly. This is a rare chance to join early, take real ownership, and shape both the product and the engineering culture as the company scales.
The work is product and backend focused, roughly 80% application development and 20% systems and platform work. You will build features end to end and own them in production.
What You'll Do
- Build product end to end in TypeScript and Python
- Take features from idea to production and own them fully
- Ship quickly in an environment with very little process
- Design and evolve backend services as the product grows
- Improve performance, reliability, and developer velocity
- Shape architecture, standards, and how the team scales from here
Who You Are
- 3–5 years of software engineering experience
- Time spent at high-growth, talent-dense startups
- Strong coding ability in TypeScript and Python
- A clear track record of shipping real product you can walk through
- Strong system design instincts and cross-team collaboration
- Motivated by ownership and pace over a big-company path
- Based in or willing to work in-person 3 days per week in NYC or SF
- TypeScript
- Python
- Modern cloud infrastructure
Notes
- This is product and application engineering. No Kubernetes or Terraform focus.
- Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
- The team is hiring multiple engineers with an accelerated interview process.
