Our platform includes HRIS, payroll, IT, benefits, tax compliance, and more - all built from scratch on an AI-native architecture from day 1. Warp embeds itself into every part of a company's people operating layer, we process over half a billion $ annually in payroll, on track to grow to $2B. Legacy vendors in our space built their businesses by profiting from complexity. Warp is built from day one for AI to be the primary operator, not a feature. Every advance in LLM capability widens our lead. We hire people who ship constantly, own outcomes, and care about craft. If you want to build something that automates an entire category of core work, not just another point solution, this is the place. We've raised over $85M from top investors like Ashton Kutcher/Sound Ventures, Y Combinator, founders of Dropbox, Replit, SV Angel, and Homebrew Capital. Built by an obsessive team from MIT, Ramp, Brex, Google, Dropbox, Apple, and more. ## ABOUT THE ROLE As a Software Engineer on the Product team, you'll build the features that make Warp indispensable. This isn't a siloed frontend or backend role. You'll work full-stack across our entire product surface, interface directly with customers, spec features alongside the team, and ship things that matter.

You figure things out. - Willingness to work from our NYC office five days a week ## BENEFITS AT WARP: - 100% Health Coverage: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans for you and your dependents. - 401(k) Matching: Start investing in your future from day one. - Unlimited PTO: We offer flexible PTO, meaning you’re trusted to take the time you need to recharge while balancing your responsibilities and team commitments. - Commuter Benefits: Pre-tax commuter benefits for your daily trip to our NYC office. - Catered Lunch Daily: Great food, every day, on us. No meal prep, no decision fatigue. - Quarterly Offsites: Beautiful locations to connect as a team. Past locations include Spain and Catskills. Warp is based in New York City, and most of our team works together in-office 5x per week.
