Full Stack Software Engineer - Community

Responsibilities

• Build frontend and backend (and sometimes mobile) features that help creators manage their communities, and users connect more deeply within these communities.
• Collaborate with designers, writers, support staff, and many others. From product concept and research to implementation and deployment, we expect you to own your work and operate autonomously.

Requirements

• At least 3+ years of software engineering experience.
• Independent and autonomous. We’re too small to micromanage, and expect that every person at the company owns their work and can be a leader.
• Hold yourself and others to a high standard when working on production systems.
• Take pride in building elegant and delightful product experiences. Substack works best when it gets out of the way so writers can focus on writing and connecting with their readers.
• Enjoy collaboration with a diverse group of thinkers while bringing our own unique experience and background to the team.
• Believe in Substack’s mission to build a better business model for writing.
• Experience at a fast-growing startup or working on a high-performing growth team is not required, but is a plus.

Technologies

• TypeScript, especially Node/Express and React, and Postgres.

Compensation

• Cash compensation salary range: $140,000 - $260,000.
• Equity for all full time roles, and exceptional benefits.
