Software Engineer

The basics

• The  stack : Postgres + Clickhouse, Node.js/Express.js, React. Currently running on Heroku, eventually AWS
• The  product : We're building the ultimate suite for Finance teams to manage everything from billing to revenue recognition to subscription metrics, and much more
• The  way we work :
• This is a  remote job - work anywhere you want, and in any timezone on earth (or outside earth, whatever).
• We are an  asynchronous team - we don't do scheduled meetings, and rely on each team member to pick their own schedule and to communicate clearly in writing and with recorded videos.  Hear from our co-founder Michelle Lee on what it's like to work asynchronously .
• We operate completely  autonomously - no one will tell you what to do, we'll just tell you the goals and you will figure out how to work towards them with the rest of the team.
• The  role you'll play on our team:
• You'd be one of the  first ten engineers on the team.
• You'll  work on
• Backend: database design and implementation, complex data management problems, API design and implementation, writing tests
• Frontend: building features in our react app, HTML/CSS + styled components, building amazing user experiences, writing tests
• Frontend and backend: building and iterating on our product, collaborating with designers and founders, and making a product that users will love.
• Like all start-ups we're scrappy, but not scrappy on compensation: Subscript is committed to paying our awesome team members at  market-rate, including benefits.

1. We'll ask you to work on a small code challenge
2. After reviewing the short code challenge, we'll ask you to work on a ~90 minute exercise  while recording a loom (or other screen recording) video.
3. If the video interview above goes well, we'll want to learn a bit more about  how you communicate in writing - we will ask you to put together a  technical design document . This is one of the biggest ways we communicate at Subscript, so we want to see that you can work well with that!

• You're an excellent engineer (you write high quality code, you write great tests, you ship quickly)
• You're a great communicator via writing, and via recorded videos.
• You're excited about working on a globally-distributed and diverse team, in an incredibly unique culture where autonomy, accountability, and ownership are equally as valued as your skillset.
• That's it!

• Unlimited vacation
• Completely flexible work schedule - work literally anytime (and anywhere) you want!
• Benefits appropriate to your location (health/dental/vision in the USA)
• Company wide retreats multiple times per year
• Like all start-ups we're scrappy, but not scrappy on compensation: Subscript is committed to paying our awesome team members at market-rate, including benefits.
