Shortwave | Senior & Staff Software Engineers | Remote (US) or SF $150k-$240k base + generous equity

I was cofounder and CTO at Firebase, and most of our team is ex-Google / ex-Firebase.

Our new startup Shortwave is re-inventing email from the ground up to have the features and UX of modern messaging apps. Our mission is to ensure the future of online communications is decentralized -- and email is the largest truly decentralized communications network in the world. We're well-funded and backed by Union Square Ventures and Lightspeed Venture Partners.

We just launched in February, and The Verge called Shortwave "The Google Inbox successor I've been waiting for": https://www.theverge.com/22990303/shortwave-email-google-gma...

We're looking for smart, ambitious engineers who want to make an impact on how the world communicates. We work hard, but we have fun too, with a hybrid remote + offsite environment. Multiple roles open: https://angel.co/company/shortwave-com

Stir | Backend Product Engineer | Full-time (SF) | https//usestir.com/ Stir is where creators earn together. We want to empower a world where anyone can make a living from their creativity. We do this by building powerful tools to help members of the creator economy collaborate together. We’re looking for an engineer who can do more than just write good code -- someone who cares about creators and wants to build something meaningful with a tight-knit team, enjoys talking to users and getting involved with other functions. We're looking for someone with 3+ years experience with backend development (GraphQL, Typescript, & Postgres)

We offer competitive compensation, health and family benefits, and invest in your development and creativity.

Spot | Full-Stack Engineer, 3D Engineer | Seattle, WA (US-remote ok) | spotvirtual.com

Help build your ideal remote working experience and join our mission to make online interactions more meaningful. We are building a virtual workplace inside the browser that combines the efficiencies and utility of tools like slack and zoom with the cultural and human elements of a spatial experience. If you are interested in game dev, this is probably the closest thing that comes with a web dev salary. Our team is small, but experienced, and this would be a ground-level role that would provide an opportunity to help shape the technology and company in a really foundational way. Our founders are experienced and most recently founded a Seattle startup that has achieved unicorn status.

Our stack is Typescript, Babylon.js, React, Apollo/GraphQL, and Nest.js. Everything is built on top of AWS using modern tooling and automation (e.g. pushing a commit will trigger a deploy). We are looking for someone who has some familiarity in the tech stack and is excited about the space. This position will be remote, but the ideal candidate will be one who enjoys/misses many aspects of a physical workplace.

Stainless | Founding Engineer | NYC or Remote UTC+1 to UTC-7 | Full-time

Stainless offers quality fittings for your REST API.

You can think of us like Stripe’s API platform as a service, but our ambitions are a little bigger, and our starting point is a little narrower.

Our first product is well-typed client libraries as a service. I built Stripe’s codegen system and TypeScript definitions, and now I'm applying the same concepts for any API at Stainless: just send us your OpenAPI spec and we generate code and publish it to npm/pypi/etc.

Ultimately, it's our goal to bring all the advantages of GraphQL (well-typed/specified APIs, strong standards, field expansion/selection, etc) to the simplicity & ubiquity of "REST".

As founding engineer at a Sequoia-backed company, you'd be part of a pretty special founding team, regularly designing and building new products and systems from the ground up with humble and thoughtful peers you'll help recruit.

We use TypeScript for most things, but the more languages you know the better – you'll have cause to draw on most of them here.

Competitive comp, very competitive equity.
