The Role
At Gadget, we’re building a best-in-class tool for developers to build, deploy, and scale backend applications wildly fast. There’s too much accidental complexity in software development, which means too much developer time is spent on boring, repetitive, or wasteful tasks. Our mission is to give devs this time back so they can spend it on solving real world problems for people they care about.
To do this, we need amazing teammates. We believe that people are the backbone of any great product organization. We're hiring truly incredible people and surrounding them with the right tools, processes, and culture to build, thrive and grow.
We’re looking for a smart, capable software developer that has a lot of experience, is eager to get more, and is drawn to complicated, technical challenges.
You will:
- Be an early, important member of the Gadget team, which means huge opportunity for helping define the vision and direction
- Primarily work with React, Node.js, TypeScript and PostgreSQL
- Design and develop many core primitives and high level features of the platform
- Report directly to the founders
- Frequently give and accept feedback on your work to and from the team
- Own solutions from end to end, managing complexity and engaging directly with stakeholders
- Mentor junior members of the team to help them learn and grow
- Assess new technologies and approaches to see if they are right for us
- Debug production issues across services and multiple levels of the stack
- Uphold Gadget’s high standards for engineering and product quality
You may be fit for this role if you:
- Have at least 5 years of software development experience
- Have good expertise in many parts of the web stack
- Take delight in crafting ergonomic abstractions that can scale to meet the needs of most developers
- Want to work with people who encourage you to do your best work and are invested in your growth and development
- Take pride in working on projects from ideation to delivery, and joy in seeing your products being used by customers
- Thrive in an evolving, collaborative environment that values impact over output
