## Job Description
## 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

- 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.
