Job Description
Posted on: August 16, 2026
← All roles Open role Founding Software Engineer — Product Product engineering
- Remote
- US or Europe
Apply→ Own the surfaces our customers live in — the platform where calls are scored, issues are filed and fixes are proven. You will take features from a customer sentence to production, and you will talk to the people using what you shipped. What you'll do
- Design and build product surfaces end-to-end: Next.js/React frontend, GraphQL API, Postgres data model — schema to pixel.
- Turn messy real-world workflows (test suites, issue triage, run reviews) into interfaces that feel obvious in hindsight.
- Work directly with design on a system that takes craft seriously — and push back when something reads wrong.
- Sit in on customer calls, watch people use your features, and ship the fix the same week.
- Raise the bar on quality: tests where they earn their keep, instrumentation everywhere, no silent failures.
What you'll bring
- 4+ years building production web applications, with deep TypeScript and React experience.
- Comfort owning a feature across the whole stack — API design, data modelling, and UI polish.
- A portfolio (or war stories) showing product taste: you notice spacing, latency and empty states.
- Bias to ship: you would rather put a small version in front of a user this week than a big one next month.
- Clear written communication — we are remote and we write things down.
Nice to have
- Experience with GraphQL (Pothos/Yoga), Drizzle, or event-driven backends.
- You have built developer-facing tools, dashboards or observability products before.
Stack: TypeScript
- Next.js
- React
- GraphQL
- Postgres (Drizzle)
- Bun
- AWS (SST)
