About Arcade

Our mission is to empower teams to be great storytellers.

Great storytelling is how products get bought, not sold.

Arcade helps go-to-market teams easily showcase their product through beautiful and interactive experiences.

With Arcade, you can effortlessly create interactive demos by recording with our Chrome Extension or Desktop app. You can provide more context and finishing touches in our editor, including pan and zoom, synthetic voiceovers, and camera recordings. Once ready, your Arcades can be seamlessly embedded or shared across websites, emails, social media, or as standalone links.

More than 14,000 companies are using Arcade, including New Relic, Red Hat, and Zapier. Our intuitive user experience and powerful capabilities are driving rapid adoption across teams looking to create interactive, on-brand content and Arcades are being seen by more than 10M unique viewers per month across properties.

While we are a globally distributed team, we would prefer to bring in new team members to work in a hybrid environment based in our San Francisco, CA office.

What you’ll do

Arcade is the easiest story-telling tool for companies to tell the stories of their products, and these stories are the most engaging way for future customers to discover amazing products that will change their lives.

We are looking for product-minded engineers that will empathize with our customer’s needs and work closely with our users and the rest of the team to bring creative ideas to the product. We are a small but mighty engineering team which means you will have full ownership of your projects, including deliverables and timeline.

In concrete terms, our next engineering hires will own one of our key initiatives and bring it to life. Those initiatives are currently:

• Build many core functionalities that make Arcade the easiest story-telling tool such as more intuitive and powerful animation tools, while keeping users’ learning curve at zero.

• Build many core features that make the resulting Arcades super engaging such as “choose your own adventure” logic to the stories.

We have more on the roadmap and these initiatives are what we’re currently targeting.

On the front end, our stack is heavily Jamstack-based with Next.js, Typescript, as well as a Chrome Extension. On the back end, we use GCP (Firestore, Cloud Functions, PubSub, IdP, and a few other services) and AWS (Aurora). Arcades are embedded on our users site, which means we strive for high-performing code and we must maintain high performance to make that work well.

Who you are

First and foremost, you’re someone who not only enjoys the idea of building something from scratch but also thrives in a highly autonomous environment. We want someone who is ready to build, iterate, and ship at speed and loves it. You’re also open to dialogue and a feedback culture, kind, open-minded, and excited about bringing other top-tier people to the team and building something great.

Our values ❤️

• Carry the weight: We act like owners. Let’s empower each other. When we see something that needs change, we lead through it.

• An open book: We are open as a team and as a product. We don’t put walls up unless it’s necessary. We become better when we share information. We are open to diversity of opinion, backgrounds, and thought.

• Play as a team: We play because we’re a creator tool. Life is short. Let’s build something meaningful. We play as a team because great teams build great things together. We keep those standards high.

• Be kind: We can be honest and kind. We can have high standards and be kind. We can say no and be kind. Kindness can vary across cultures, upbringings, and languages - but we try our best to be kind.
