We’re looking to add a founding software engineer to our team to architect and productize our workflow engine! Many applications in our product vision depend on durable execution. We’ll be exposing some of this functionality to end-users, not just internal engineers.

You’ll be one of our first hires. We work in San Francisco (Startup HQ on 2nd Street) in-person at least 5 days a week.

• Albert was CEO at OneShop, an app for selling on multiple resale marketplaces and grew to $4.4M in annualized recurring revenue in 24 months. Backed by General Catalyst, Garry Tan, and YC. Was engineer #3 at X1 Card (acq. Robinhood) and a software engineer at Twitter when he was 19.
• Vincent led growth as a founding employee at several startups, including Wildfire (acq. Opendoor), X1 Card (acq. Robinhood), Bubble, and OneShop. Ecosystem lead at Bubble, built the request-for-proposal marketplace, and helped scale the company from 20 to 100 employees.

About the job

Architecting a new platform business alongside our CEO, implementing it, and finding product market fit for it is exciting to you.

You’re familiar with the design of technologies like Temporal and you’re familiar with designing configurations / DSLs. You’ve architected and maintained core systems before. You’re comfortable exploring and making tradeoffs and you ground them in business needs, not dogma. You have some appetite for being involved in product, as this workflow engine have both external and internal customers.

You display many of the attributes we like seeing in a teammate, including

• Soul in the game: You love what you do. You’re not about just clocking in and out. The stakes are high and you wouldn’t be playing any other game.
• Hands-on: You’re rolling up your sleeves with us. You want to spend more time doing work than thinking about it.
• Spiky: You’re really, really good, potentially even world-class, at one thing or more.
• Intentional: Life doesn’t just happen to you. You get things done and you make decisions on purpose. You offer no excuses and you own the outcome.
• High endurance: You’re self-aware enough to proactively own managing burnout. You understand that being able to keep up for a very long time is part of the job.
• Sense of urgency: You understand a startup is dying by default, even when it’s growing quickly or well-capitalized. You value the compounding effects of finding a way to get things done just a bit quicker.

The technical stack is very straightforward right now. We write everything in TypeScript. The frontend is built with Next.js / React Native. We use Porter as our control plane. Our primary database is Postgres.
