🧑🔬 Founding Product Engineer
Role
We’re looking for an all-round, full-stack software engineer to play an instrumental role in building out both the product as well as the rest of the engineering team. Other than those (future) hires, you’ll also be working closely with me (hi, I’m Marko, I founded Supersimple and wrote this page).
We’re looking for someone that loves the idea of being able to do a bit of everything, when and wherever it’s needed – from React components to CI configuration to ML code. Of course, over time, you’ll likely become our go-to expert in just a few of those areas, or take on the role of leading a team – whatever floats your boat.
To make stuff happen, we expect our people to make decisions and take initiative, as opposed to awaiting instructions. This applies to more than code alone – in addition to the product, we’ve got an entire company to build.
Your contributions will have a huge impact on Supersimple’s success.
Some of the important things
Our tech stack’s quite straightforward. React & Node, TypeScript on both sides and GraphQL in between. Backed by Postgres, running on Kubernetes & Google Cloud’s serverless stack. Much of the data & AI/ML infrastructure is yet to be built – and you can expect to see some slightly more exotic names there.
We definitely don’t need you to have used all of this stuff before. What we do need is for you to be good at trying things out and learning in the process. Much of the above is malleable anyway.
We don’t believe that a startup’s team should be working 24/7. We simply don’t think that’s good for the company nor its people.
We care about you doing meaningful work to push Supersimple forward while staying healthy & sane. Yep, providing health benefits is a part of this.
Things like unlimited paid time off and a 4-day work week are for the early team to figure out and implement together.
The bet here is that motivated, well-rested and focused people do their best work – and not overworked zombies. Zombies are bad business. Ironically, brains are good (for) business.
Our compensation package is top of market. We also want the team to own the business in a significant way through equity. Salary and equity are linked to each other, and depending on your preferences, we can lean more heavily in one direction or the other. As an early joiner, you can expect to receive a significant chunk of the pie either way.
To make our vision of the future a reality, we’ve brought some great VCs and angel investors on board. We’re currently in private beta, working to make the first few customers absolutely love the product. To be clear: we’re super early. The insight engine is almost nonexistent, the data exploration capabilities are fairly basic (though kind of awesome) and we only support a handful of data sources. This is where you come in.
In case you took this heading literally: we’re building Supersimple as a remote-first company.
