Pipe (pipe.com) | Frontend, Product Engineer | Remote | Full-time

About us: At Pipe, we’re building the infrastructure to securitize SaaS revenue streams, unlocking non-dilutive capital for our vendor partners. We've raised $66M to date with top-tier investors such as David Sacks, Lachy Groom, and Naval Ravikant. Our team is distributed with <20 people (LA, Portland, NYC, Miami, Helsinki, Frankfurt, SF; 7 engineers currently). We're looking for a new member on our product engineering team.

What we're looking for:

* Design and product thinker: you can improve product designs, and take initiative to do so. The ability to empathize with how our end users will interact with the product.

* Ownership mentality: comfort making code changes that span the breadth of the stack to ship features, and ability to work with non-engineering stakeholders to make sure things are done as required.

* Experience building web applications for 3+ years.

* Strong front-end web engineering skills: solid understanding of how to build cutting-edge web applications using Javascript, HTML, CSS with modern tooling.

* History of shipping: ability to ship products end-to-end in reasonable time frames. Ideally, a track record of working on better products over time.

Tech stack: Typescript, React, Next.js, GraphQL, Go, Postgres, Hasura (experience with our stack isn't necessary)

Compensation & Benefits:

* Generous compensation: we want you to feel like an owner and that should be reflected in your salary and equity (we grant real stock instead of options).

* Health, vision, and dental insurance.

* The best equipment you need to work.

* Work-life balance: we do our best work when we're balanced.

* Great colleagues: we value a culture of authenticity, humility, and excellence. We want you to make a footprint on our culture.

* Flexible vacation and work hours. We don't adopt conventional work practices that are meaningless for the type of work we do.

For more background on what we're doing and what recurring revenue financing can mean to companies trying to grow without diluting their equity, check out Alex Danco's interview with Harry Hurst, one of our founders -- https://alexdanco.com/2020/07/28/its-not-debt-its-better-an-...

For a little more explanation of why we give stock rather than option grants, see Harry's twitter post and some of the replies https://twitter.com/harryhurst/status/1270562546206912514 . We're much more interested in keeping the company small and rewarding employees than screwing around with options deadlines.
