Haiku (YC W18) | San Francisco, CA | REMOTE OK | jobs@haikuforteams.com

Principal Engineer

We're working to revolutionize the way that teams create software: by unifying design & code. See what we make over at haikuforteams.com and diez.org

We seek a language-agnostic, experienced Principal Engineer (title is flexible.) You'll work directly with our technical CEO and small remote team to drive our company past the cusp of product-market fit into profitability and (if we choose to pursue one) our next financing round. We have growing revenue, cash in the bank, a small team, and big opportunity.

If you're a business-focused (or -curious!) engineer who wants to exchange knowledge while collaborating with some grizzled startup veterans and YC alum, we'd love to work with you.

Responsibilities

- Develop & ship product and open-source tech, across front- and back-end technologies (Golang, Postgres, TypeScript, Vue, Swift, Kotlin)

- Solve tough architectural & design challenges in a team setting

- Take full ownership of projects from conception to implementation to deployment

- Apply a pragmatic, user-focused lens while making foundational technical decisions

Requirements

- Expert in at least one compiled, statically typed language

- Experience with designing for and reasoning about type systems; TypeScript a big plus

- Experience with high-performance rendering concerns on web or mobile platforms

- Experience with AWS (or another cloud computing platform)

- Exposure to native mobile development (iOS, Android)

- Eager to deep-dive into new languages, frameworks, and systems

- Bonus: experience creating or maintaining compilers (static analysis, AST manipulation, IDE tooling)
