That includes our web app, Electron desktop app, Chrome extension, AI pipelines, search and chat experiences, third-party integrations, public API, and MCP server. As part of our team, you’ll help identify and deliver the product improvements that matter most to customers. You’ll work closely with fellow application engineers and our AI, platform, SRE, and customer support teams to deliver an unmatched customer experience. HOW YOU’LL HELP US WIN Contribute to our collection of highly-scalable services (some stateless, some stateful). Our services run in multiple regions, are engineered to support spiky but predictable workloads, and are deployed via multi-stage rollouts to build confidence in the correctness and efficiency of changes.

We’re established enough to ship instead of fighting fires and early enough that your work will have a real impact. - Startup experience. You’ll work closely with our CEO, a 2X Founder/CEO with a background in computer science and product design. - We embrace being fully remote. We schedule meetings sparingly and instead heavily use async comms (Slack, Notion, Loom) ABOUT THE INTERVIEW - No live coding. We have no idea who thought writing code on whiteboards was a good idea but we hate it. We’re much more interested in what you’ve done and learned. - You’ll meet the entire team. We think it’s important that you get to meet everyone you’ll be working with. - No bullshit. Ask us anything you like. We’ve never understood why companies pretend they’re something that they’re not in the hiring process - you’re going to find out eventually so we’d rather you know who we are up front so we can both make sure this is a good fit for all involved. - Quick turnaround time. We know you have lots of options so we move fast usually in less than a week from start to finish.
