### **Our traction 📈**
We are scaling quickly in a massive market. This is a rare opportunity to join
an early-stage startup with meaningful traction, top-tier investors, and a
small team moving fast.
### **What you’ll do ⚡**
• Own and build core backend systems that power highly scalable messaging
infrastructure.
• Design, ship, and maintain backend services that can handle billions of
messages per month.
• Move quickly from idea to production while maintaining a high bar for
quality, reliability, and performance.
• Work closely with a lean, highly technical team across engineering, product,
and AI workflows.
• Solve hard infrastructure problems at scale across routing, messaging,
delivery, automation, and customer-facing systems.
• Drive meaningful technical impact in a fast-growing, early-stage startup
environment.
### **Who we’re looking for 🔍**
You are an A-tier engineer that will drive a big technical impact. You have a
passion to lead the build on new innovative products from scratch with the
customer experience in mind with every touch.
We are a people-first company, and believe it’s the foundation from the
smallest product feature to the biggest decisions about what we do as a
company. Businesses are built by people, and we think they should be built for
people, too.
### **Requirements**
• 6+ years of software engineering experience with strong career velocity and
technical ownership in early-stage (pre-seed to Series A) startups.
• Strong backend engineering experience, ideally with Node.js and TypeScript.
• Experience building scalable production systems.
• Familiarity with AWS, especially SQS or similar queue-based infrastructure.
• Ability to build from 0→1 and operate in a fast-moving startup environment.
• Strong judgment around performance, reliability, and system design.
• Frontend experience is a bonus, but this is primarily a backend role.
• High ownership, low ego, and a bias toward shipping.
