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.

What You’ll Do:

• 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
