About the role

At Weave, we're building the best software for the best engineering
teams to move faster, and we want to hire exceptional engineers to
help us do so.

We are a well-funded startup, backed by top investors, growing
rapidly and currently profitable.

You'll be working directly with me (Andrew), the CTO. Before I was
CTO of Weave I was the founding engineer at Causal, and I want to
give you all the support and growth opportunities in this role that I
got when I went through it.

You'll also be working directly with Adam, the CEO. Adam runs sales
at Weave, and before that worked as a sales executive at a few
different high growth startups.

Must haves

You are a good fit for Weave if you are a formidable engineer. This
means you stop at nothing to accomplish your goal. We don't care much
about your current skills or even what you've done before; we care
that you will be able to do anything you set your mind to.

You must also be pragmatic. Weave is a startup so something is always
on fire. You need to know when to let little fires burn and when to
break out the extinguisher.

You must be a very good engineer who's committed to becoming a great
engineer. The slope is more important than the Y-intercept.

You must be empathetic. We're building products for other people, so
you need to be able to understand how other people think and why.

You must care about helping other software engineering teams be
great. If that's not an exciting mission for you, it will be hard to
stay motivated through the inevitable highs and lows.

You must be an excellent communicator. You'll be working on a product
that's communicating with millions of engineers and leaders, so you
need to be clear.

Finally you must be gritty. You should be accustomed to picking the
hard option and pushing through it.

Nice to haves

(Please feel free to apply even if some or all of these don't apply
to you!)

Our tech stack is React + TypeScript on the frontend, Go on the
backend, and Python for ML. Experience with any of those three
languages is a bonus.

If you've already done lots of thinking about engineering
productivity and how to improve it, that's great and we want to hear
about it!

We hope your design sensibilities are passable.

The role

As Weave's founding product engineer, your job is to build things
customers want. This involves any/all of:

  * Talking to customers to understand their pain points and requests
  * Designing and planning potential solutions
  * Writing the backend for a new feature
  * Writing the frontend for a new feature
  * Provisioning the infrastructure to support a new feature
  * Releasing the feature and collecting customer feedback on it
  * Finding a hacky fix to solve a bug quickly
  * Finding a great fix to solve a bug and eliminate future bugs too
  * Writing a blog post about how you built your feature
  * Repeat!
