About The Role

Join OpenPipe as a Founding Software Engineer (Backend) and become one of our first hires with a significant equity stake. This role offers the opportunity to take ownership over major features critical to our success, such as designing our on-premise deployment solution and refactoring our stack to enhance reliability and reduce latency for the tens of millions of requests we handle daily.

Responsibilities

  • Build high-quality software using TypeScript and Python.
  • Solve infrastructure and deployment challenges, ensuring our systems are well-architected and robust.
  • Provide strong leadership and take ownership of projects across the stack.
  • Solve complex performance problems and architectural challenges to make our application more robust, highly-available, and performant.
  • Design and specify new functionality in collaboration with customers and the rest of the team.

What We're Seeking

  • 5+ years of professional experience as a Software Engineer.
  • Strong programming skills in TypeScript and Python.
  • A strong understanding of systems architecture and best practices.
  • Capable and excited about taking on a broad range of tasks.
  • A proven self-starter able to identify needs and meet them. Experience as a former founder or founding engineer is especially valued.
  • Excellent problem-solving and critical-thinking skills.
