Software Engineer, Automations

You’re someone who has worked on early-stage teams, perhaps even as a founder, and love wearing multiple hats (to a healthy extent).

You've seen products come to life from just a spark of an idea, and even if things don't quite pan out, you're motivated by the process of making something from nothing.

You want to work on software that has real, tangible value to deliver to the people who need it, even if the solution can be basic or 'unsexy' sometimes.

You're an expert at prioritization and time management who can gracefully adapt to new facts on the fly as you make tradeoffs between customer and business needs.

You're focused on quality, not quantity. You can distill complex systems in the service of building reliable, maintainable infrastructure that others depend on.

You have 3+ years of hands-on experience as a contributor to teams that have proved they can ship great products.

You have deep experience building and maintaining web automation systems — whether browser-based scraping, headless automation, or programmatic interaction with third-party supplier websites.

You think in frameworks, not one-offs. You've built shared infrastructure that makes it easier and faster to add new integrations, and you take pride in the abstractions you create.

You have strong experience with observability and monitoring — you instrument your systems proactively, set up alerting, and treat reliability as a first-class concern.

You're comfortable with Node.js and TypeScript, and have a solid grasp of the broader web platform — HTTP, browser internals, async patterns, and the quirks that come with automating real-world websites at scale.

You have solid object-oriented design and programming skills with experience architecting solutions for complex, distributed, or failure-prone systems.

You try to give back to the development community as a contributor to Open Source Software projects or other pro-bono avenues.

Our engineering team meets daily for standup (except Friday) and otherwise keep meetings to a minimum.

We're a remote-first company. Quarterly, we travel to work together in-person and stay with one of our hotel partners.

For the most part, we rely on Google Meet, GitHub, Linear, Notion, and Slack to make decisions and get things done day-to-day.

Craft. We take pride in our work, find joy in execution, and believe that the best companies are built at a steady yet resilient pace.

Optimism. We believe in ourselves and each other and know anything is possible with the right amount of hustle and grit.

Ownership. We love making things better and have a strong sense of shared responsibility over everything we create together.

Hospitality. The industry we’re building for has a culture of service to others, and we bring that energy to how we work together each day.
