About the job
You'll be a senior IC on a small platform-focused team, owning meaningful systems end-to-end. You'll design and ship features across our platform — rewards delivery, recognition workflows, analytics, the developer infrastructure that keeps us shipping fast, and the many third-party integrations that hold it all together (HRIS, payroll, Slack, Stripe, shipping carriers, swag suppliers, and more).
You'll also help shape how we build with AI. We use Claude Code and Cursor daily, and we expect you to use them fluently — and to share patterns that make the rest of the team faster.
What you'll do
- Build and operate systems on Firebase, Cloud Run, BigQuery, and our integrations layer
- Own meaningful surface area: design, implement, test, deploy, operate
- Use AI development tools well, and help raise the team's effective ceiling with them
- Review code, mentor mid-level engineers, raise the bar
- Partner with product to find simpler solutions before building
- Write clear RFCs and PRs that move decisions forward
What we're looking for
- 5+ years of professional software engineering experience
- Track record shipping and operating production systems end-to-end
- Strong production experience with TypeScript (required)
- Demonstrably effective with modern AI dev tools — you can point to work you shipped faster or better because of them
- Familiar with Firebase, Cloud Run, BigQuery
- Strong testing discipline and domain-driven design — integration vs unit, testability-first thinking
- Excellent written English — able to raise issues, align, and disagree in writing
Nice to have
- Go production experience (we have latency-sensitive services in Go)
- Prior Senior+ IC at a startup that scaled
- Open-source contributions
Our stack
- Frontend: React 19, Vite, TypeScript
- Backend: TypeScript, Node
- Latency sensitive backend: Go
- Cloud: GCP
- Data: Firestore for OLTP, BigQuery for analytics
- Protocol: Connect-RPC over Protobuf
- Infra as code: Pulumi
- AI dev tools: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, CoPilot
