Descripción del trabajo

Rockstar is recruiting for a fast-growing SaaS company that empowers creators, coaches, and online experts to build thriving online communities. Our client offers a plug-and-play platform that enables users to manage discussions, courses, payments, events, documents, workflows, matchmaking, directories, and more—all on their own websites. The team is passionate about giving people the power to own and shape the way they engage with others online.

The client is a plug-and-play online community builder. Think “Shopify for online communities”. The company is building a world where people have the power to own & shape the way they engage with others online.

The platform allows creators, coaches, & online experts to build a thriving community business — with discussions, courses, payments, events, documents, workflows, matchmaking, directories & more — all on their own website.

Why this job is special…

  • The successful candidate will be one of the first engineers to join the company—but will be joining a product & codebase that works. The company has hundreds of customers processing thousands of dollars every month. This role offers all the leverage and autonomy of being an early engineer without the burden of building everything from scratch.
  • The team consists of individuals who know their craft. Everyone is exceptionally skilled and brings deep experience from their previous roles.
  • Typescript is taken seriously. If a candidate is passionate about pragmatically applying type systems & functional patterns, this is the place for them.
  • AI agents are here & the company is ready to use them as a force-multiplier. Significant time has been spent building incredibly expressive & flexible application building blocks. AI will allow the team to double down on these through MCP and agentic configuration, providing the magic of tools like Replit & Lovable without the brittleness.

What the role entails…

  • Working closely with the team to scope & prioritize new features
  • Writing modular, maintainable, thoughtful code
  • Creating rails to enable AI coding agents to robustly make changes & develop new features
  • Monitoring the production environment and working with users to identify & resolve bugs

    • Remote restrictions

    Workday must overlap by at least 5 hours with New York, NY, USA

    This role will be enjoyable for those who…

  • Appreciate working with Typescript, type systems & functional patterns
  • Enjoy writing high-quality code within the constraints of a rapidly changing product
  • Want to have a strong influence on the direction of the product
  • Thrive working in an autonomous environment
  • Like creating new abstractions (responsibly!)
  • Are not afraid to dive into unfamiliar technologies & platforms

    • Some problems the team has worked on…

  • Improving the type safety of the codebase
  • Efficiently matching community members via max weight matching & linear programming
  • Abstracting the mobile app to allow for custom white-labeling

    • Potential projects for this role…

  • Building the first version of the MCP server
  • Reworking frontend infrastructure to enable communities to create SEO-indexable content
  • Building a new community-centric voice & video call experience
  • Optimizing API server infrastructure and database queries to accommodate usage growth
  • Establishing an app ecosystem to allow external developers to build custom apps within the platform
  • And much more!

    • What the company is looking for…

  • A strong background working with Typescript or similar typed languages
  • Experience with React or similar frontend component frameworks
  • Experience scaling backend infrastructure & identifying performance bottlenecks
  • Strong opinions about what well designed products feel like
  • Intuition for balancing long-term engineering best practices and iterating quickly
  • Empathy for users and the desire to carefully craft delightful user experiences
  • A love for building & experimenting with products

    • Bonus points for candidates who…

  • Have founded a company before
  • Have experience with profiling & monitoring NodeJS in production
  • Have experience building realtime applications

    • Our Stack

    The company loves Typescript! The entire stack is type-safe from the initial database call to the last React prop. Developer experience is a priority, and the team is not afraid to spend time improving internal tooling if it will allow for faster and / or better shipping.
