Or, put another way: what Spotify has done for audio entertainment we're doing for audio information. And whatever we're doing seems to be working: we're #1 in our category, profitable, and have hockey-stick growth.

With that growth comes the need for a Software Engineer, Platform to join our newly formed Platform team and help us scale our infrastructure, optimize the performance of key product flows and build end-to-end systems.

  • Actively participate in product decisions and refining the product roadmap
  • Work with the Platform team to provide universal architecture and experience across our products

To succeed here, you'll need:

  • Experience. You've played a crucial role in building and maintaining of large scale products and have worked both backend and frontend
  • Systems thinking. You know how to think high level about end-to-end systems involving multiple products, 3rd party services etc
  • Speed. You work quickly to generate ideas and options and know how to decide which things can ship now and what things need time
  • Focus. We're a high-growth startup with a busy, remote team. You know how and when to engage or be heads down
  • Collaboration. You know how to inspire, play, and negotiate with opinionated designers, marketers, and PMs
  • Tech Stack: (must) NodeJS, ReactJS, TypeScript, (good to have) Java, Go, Python

We offer:

  • A fast-growing environment where you can help shape the culture
  • An entrepreneurial crew that supports risk, intuition, and hustle
  • A hands-off approach so you can focus and do your best work
  • The opportunity to make an impact in a transformative industry
  • A competitive salary, a collegiate atmosphere, and a commitment to building a great asynchronous culture
