## Job description

## About the role

We are looking for a generalist senior full-stack product engineer to join our early team in New York City.

- Have 5+ years of software engineering experience building and shipping production web applications across frontend and backend.
- Have experience working in a startup or a smaller company with real engineering impact.
- Have strong experience with React, TypeScript and modern frontend tooling.
- Have strong experience building backend services and RESTful APIs in a typed language (TypeScript, Java, Go or similar).
- Are comfortable with relational data modeling and SQL, and understand how databases and search systems behave under load.
- Set the highest possible UX and UI bar for the work you do.
- Are a team player who is excited to do what it takes to make the team successful. You're proactive both in how you work and how you communicate.
- Are comfortable in a work environment that blends sync and async communication and work.
- Are excited to build an in-person culture with us.

Preferably, you also have experience with at least some of the following:

- Experience as a technical lead making architectural design decisions.
- Github CI/CD.
- Cloud infrastructure, ideally GCP.
- Building product features on top of LLMs.

Interview Process We move fast — really fast. Getting back to someone today beats tomorrow, and our interview process reflects that mindset. Please keep us posted on your timeline so we can move quickly and speed things up where needed. After submitting your application, the team reviews your CV and statement of exceptional work. If your application passes this stage, you will be invited to a 30-minute interview during which a member of our team will make sure you're a good fit for the role. You will have the opportunity ask questions and learn more about the role as well. We'll then send you a programming challenge that consists of two parts: LeetCode and React. Beyond that step, you will enter the main process, which consists of three interviews:

- Experience, theory, and system design.
- Live coding.
- Product thinking and past work.

Our goal is to finish the process within one week. All interviews will be conducted via Google Meet.
