Founding Back End Engineer

Overview

This role will be one of the first two engineering hires. The person in charge of this role will be primarily responsible for the protocol side of SamePage - mainly focused on our monorepo. We are looking for someone to take an active role in growing and stabilizing the protocol, developing best practices across the SamePage ecosystem.

Responsibilities

The following set of responsibilities are based on our current understanding on the work needed to be done to grow SamePage. However, we're looking for people who enjoy to take ownership of their work and begin to form their own thesis on what work would be the highest value add for the company. These initial responsibilities include:

• Protocol architecture - work with our existing cloud services and integrate with new modules as needed.
• API design - build out and maintain stable APIs that will make up the SamePage protocol.
• User support - field inquiries either given by users themselves or by our automated systems and diagnose them based on our monitoring systems.
• Collaboration - work with the front end engineer to build stable protocols across extensions and advise on the growth of the engineering team.

Qualifications

The following set of qualifications are not individually required, but are in the set of qualities we are looking for in candidates. They are the criteria by which we will evaluate candidates based on who we end up speaking to for the position. These qualifications include:

• Experience working in a startup environment and comfortable with ambiguity.
