Web Software Engineer

Overview

We have one successful product with thousands of monthly users, delivering 10s of millions of updates around the globe, every month. We built this all with 2 engineers. We also recently launched a second product which is also growing. We simply need more engineers to keep up with our growing user base and ambition.

What You’ll Do

• Own our front-ends. This includes our website, web console, admin panel, and other projects.

• Work with other engineers to implement the front-end of new features and products.

• Build the user experience for all the cloud parts that a Shorebird customer needs, but doesn’t want to build themselves (e.g. anything Firebase offers, various GitHub-adjacent services, etc.).

• Work with designers to optimize for user experience.

• Help shape our culture, processes, and product direction.

• Note: We don’t use Flutter, we build Flutter itself and services for Flutter.

What We’re Looking For

• Mission alignment. You care about helping the world stop writing everything twice. Flutter is our tool for that and Shorebird aims to take Flutter beyond where Google can.

• Strong desire to work at a startup. We’re a tiny team. All remote. You’ll have to want to make your own decisions and own them.

• Located in North America, ideally Chicago, New York City or San Francisco.

• 2+ years of experience shipping production web apps.

• Experience with React, TypeScript, Postgres and (ideally) Dart (what our backend is written in).

• Nice to have: Startup experience, ideally B2B SaaS.

• You’re a self-starter — you work well with little oversight and thrive in ambiguous environments. You’ll have support as a member of our engineering team, but this still won’t be like working at a big tech job with formal training or processes, you’ll have to learn and teach yourself most things (with help).

• You care about product quality and developer experience.

Why Join

• Work directly with a small, senior team solving hard, high-impact problems.

• Competitive compensation + early equity.

• Shape the future of how mobile apps are built and shipped.

• This job is a great opportunity for someone who wants to work at a startup, has done some frontend but is generally interested in the opportunities that come from working on such a small and senior team.

• Direct access to 1000s of customers via our Discord.

• We travel 3-4x per year to a central location (e.g. Chicago) to work/socialize as a team for a week.
