Join Sidechat as a Senior Backend Engineer
At a time when social media today leaves you feeling more disconnected than ever, Sidechat helps you connect more deeply with the communities and interests that you care about. We are looking for a Senior Backend Engineer to join our dynamic team and help build the future of social media.
About Sidechat
Sidechat is the best way to connect with your college community and with students around the country through questions, jokes, thoughts, polls, memes, confessions, DMs, and more. All posts, comments, and messages are anonymous, offering users the freedom to be their most authentic selves. Safety is our top priority, and we maintain the highest quality moderation to ensure Sidechat is a fun and safe space for students to get to know themselves and others.
Responsibilities
As one of the founding engineers, you will be responsible for a wide range of engineering tasks, including:
- Working directly with the founders on specs
- Translating specs to engineering requirements
- Implementation of features
- Deployments and deployment processes
- Setting technical direction
- Recruiting your friends
Qualifications
We’re looking for people who have a passion for delighting users, empathize deeply with them, and have built products before. On the backend, we use Node.js, although no familiarity with it is required (although it's a plus!).
Interview Process
We move quickly. Our process is:
- 15-minute intro call
- 45-minute initial interview
- Two hour-long interviews with engineering leads
- Offer
Why Join Us?
- A strong founding team - the third and fourth hires of Snap, as well as the second product design hire
- Product-market fit - 2x the retention of Snap
- Strong penetration - 1 out of every 4 college students have us on their phones
Join us to help build the future of social media and work with creative and dynamic minds!
