Work type: hybrid
Location: San Francisco, California, United States
Salary: $150,000 – $176,000/yr
Type: Full-time
This role is ideal for a mid-level full-stack engineer with at least 2 years of experience who thrives in a product-minded environment. You should be comfortable moving between Ruby on the backend and React on the frontend, with a strong grasp of RESTful APIs and modern testing frameworks like Cypress. If you enjoy owning features from the initial design phase through to production release, you’ll fit right in. The compensation is highly competitive ($150k–$176k) and comes with impressive perks, including 100% covered healthcare and a $25k reimbursement for family planning. The role follows a hybrid model in San Francisco (3 days in-office), where you’ll benefit from daily catered lunches and a commuter stipend. As a "Breakthrough Company" on the Forbes Cloud 100, this is a high-growth environment focused on mission-driven work. **You might be a good fit if you:** * Have professional experience with Ruby on Rails and React. * Prioritize "XP" practices like automated testing and continuous delivery. * Enjoy collaborating directly with product and design teams rather than just coding in isolation. * Are looking for a stable, late-stage startup with a clear mission and strong social impact.
