Full-Stack Engineer

🧑‍💻 What you’ll work on

You will take a pivotal role in building a cloud based security platform alongside our CTO, CEO, and existing customers. We are working with data engineering teams iterating on the most advanced ways to deliver a purpose built security experience for their needs.

You will have a hand in everything from prioritizing features, to defining the architecture, to selecting the tech stack. As we scale, you will have opportunities to explore various technical and managerial roles.

In addition, you’ll have the opportunity to work across our entire SaaS offering, from our frontend Svelte app to our backend Node.js server, our CI/CD integrations, and recommendations (machine learning) products.

🏗️ Why work with us

Spyglass is building the first security platform for data teams.

We are looking for an entrepreneurial founding engineer. This is an amazing opportunity to work side by side as a founding member of a venture backed company and change how data teams manage security.

We've raised $2.5M in pre-seed from Notation Capital, 8-Bit Capital, CoFound Partners and V1 VC with deep team expertise in enterprise software and security.

✅ Requirements

Strong knowledge of software development principles.

Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.

Demonstrated ability to quickly learn new technologies, and enthusiasm to contribute at all levels of the stack as needed.

Helpful but not required: Experience with Typescript, Postgres, GCP or Svelte.

Interest in security, machine learning, or developer tools is a plus!

🔭 What we look for

• High-potential, raw talent.
• Curiosity, mischief, and intensity.
• History of building useful things.

💸 Compensation

Our compensation packages are based on a wide array of factors including your unique skill set, years of experience, and preferred total compensation ratio between salary and equity.

We’re based in Brooklyn (Williamsburg) and prefer someone in New York who wants to work in person. We believe that face-to-face interactions foster more effective communication and help to build camaraderie, all things that are important to us as an early startup.

We offer healthcare, a stipend for work equipment, and plan on implementing other perks as we achieve our milestones as a business.

🕵️ Who You’ll Work With

I’m Nick, co-founder and CEO of Spyglass. I’ve spent the last decade building devops and developer tooling companies as the first GTM hire at both Edge Delta (observability) and Harness (CI/CD). I have a passion for working with engineering teams to solve complex and impactful problems at the enterprise scale. I enjoy road biking, playing with my dog and obsessing over my daily macronutrient ratios.

I’m Tyler, co-founder and CTO of Spyglass. I love building software infrastructure, security, and developer tools, and I’m super excited about what we’re building at Spyglass: security on autopilot for data teams. I have years of experience at startups (Fast) to big tech (Uber), but there’s always more to learn. In my free time, I enjoy making electronic music, playing chess, cooking, and gaming.
