Stealth | San Francisco, CA (hybrid: M-W-F ONSITE) | Full-time | Fullstack Engineer

We're looking for a backend-leaning fullstack dev. Highlights:

- We're a 5-person startup in San Francisco (hybrid: 3 days/week in office)

- We're working on a b2b SaaS for managing/analyzing cloud costs for really large companies.

- The domain isn't cool, but the complexity is fractal and the need is huge.

- Typescript/Python/Clickhouse currently

- Our founders are also the founders of the Duckbill Group, an AWS cost consultancy. As a result, we've got a great, built-in sales pipeline.

- As a result of that, we're bottlenecked on our ability to just build the features our users clearly want.

- So we're hiring a 4th engineer: a backend-leaning full stack dev to build and own large swaths of this thing we're creating!

- We're looking for someone with 5+ years of experience, though probably closer to 8-10, depending on the person and the experience.

- Comp is 175k-200k base, 0.5-0.75% equity.
