Senior Fullstack Engineer at Bluesky (Remote)
Role details
Job description
Bluesky's vision is to make social more like the web itself. We're building a social media app, but beyond that, we've created a protocol that supports a broad ecosystem of applications and clients. Imagine a network of applications — from microblogging to photos to video to long-form writing — all interconnected and accessible with a shared identity.
As a Fullstack Engineer, you’ll be responsible for building and maintaining moderation applications used internally by teams keeping millions of users save. You’ll work closely with our internal operations and product team to build moderation and user-safety tools.
Responsibilities:
- Implement features in a large scale and mature React application used internally for moderation and labeling.
- Collaborate with the product team to execute on moderation tooling for the application
- Gather feedback from moderators to drive improvements to their toolkit
You might be a good fit if you:
- Have strong fundamental programming and software engineering skills
- Have extensive experience with building large-scale apps in Typescript and React (e.g. 5+ years)
- Have built React applications with relatively large codebases in production
- Have a strong sense of UI/UX excellence
- Have experience working on the full stack of applications (frontend and backend)
- Have a strong intuitive understanding of social media
- Like working on small, fast-moving teams
- Are interested in helping shape the future of social networking
We’re a fully remote team, but an overlap of working hours with PST is required, and for this role, proximity and willingness to travel to Seattle are a plus. Please note there may be an on-site component to these interviews. We offer health, dental, and vision insurance.
Additional Notes:
- The anticipated base salary range for this position is $170,000 - $270,000, excluding equity. Equity will be considered in the total compensation package. Final base salary for this role will be based on the individual’s geographic location, as well as experience level, skill set, training, licenses and certifications.
If you want to work with an excellent team and help define the future of social, we encourage you to apply.
