Software Engineer

Location: San Francisco, CA (Hybrid)

Base Salary: $185,000/year + benefits + equity opportunities

About the Role:

We’re looking for a talented Software Engineer to join our fast-growing team in San Francisco. In this role, you’ll build scalable, user-focused products that power our core platform. You’ll work closely with product, design, and engineering leadership to design systems that are clean, reliable, and forward-thinking.

This isn’t just another ticket-pushing job. We’re looking for engineers who think like product owners: curious, thoughtful, and always questioning how things could be better.

What You’ll Do:

• Architect, design, and implement scalable backend services and intuitive frontend experiences

• Write clean, maintainable code and participate in code reviews

• Collaborate cross-functionally to define, design, and ship new features

• Identify and drive improvements to our engineering practices and infrastructure

• Help shape the engineering culture of a growing company

What We’re Looking For:

• 3+ years of professional software engineering experience

• Strong proficiency in at least one of these: Python, Go, Java, Node.js, TypeScript

• Experience with modern frontend frameworks (e.g., React, Vue, or Svelte)

• Solid understanding of software engineering fundamentals: algorithms, data structures, system design

• Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)

• An ownership mindset: you don’t just solve problems — you identify them and fix them

• Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, ambiguous environment

Bonus Points If You Have:

• Experience with microservices architecture

• Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and infrastructure-as-code

• Prior startup or high-growth environment experience

• Contributions to open source projects

Compensation & Benefits:

• $185,000 base salary

• Generous equity package

• Medical, dental, and vision insurance

• 401(k) with company match

• Commuter benefits

• Professional development stipend

• Hybrid work flexibility (3 days onsite minimum)

About Us:

We’re a venture-backed startup in San Francisco. We believe in creating an environment where engineers do the best work of their careers — and have fun doing it.
