Fullstack Engineer
Layer, San Francisco
The role
We want engineers who can build a team and a company, not just a best-in-class product. We believe that certainly takes broad technical competence across our tech stack, but it also takes harder to find abilities, such as…
- Thinking forward from first principles and backwards from customer needs at the same time.
- Curiosity about both technical and business problems.
- Navigating competing priorities and tradeoffs using your own mental map of company goals.
- A desire for ownership in product & team decisions.
- Loving people and wanting to make your teammates around you better at their own strengths.
We think world class early-stage engineers often share some common background experience, such as
- 2+ years of experience on strong software teams
- Experience with the highs and lows of building new products from scratch
- A track record of growth in team leadership
That said, we deeply appreciate and admire people who take initiative to pursue problems & opportunities they care about, so we are always excited to meet folks who reach out even if they don’t fit that exact profile.
