Role overview
We’re a fast-growing tech scale-up with $36M in funding, revolutionizing the modern internet with cutting-edge solutions that drive mass-adoption, working with brands like Uber, Amazon, and BMW. We are looking for a high-functioning psychopath to help bring the next wave of hybrid web2/3 applications, joining a team of top-tier self-selected sado-masochists who value rapid communication, direct feedback, breakneck pace shipping, autonomy, ownership, and constant experimentation.
Responsibilities

- Feature Development: Take ownership of features from planning to release, including scoping, task management, and prioritization.
- Documentation Analysis: Research and review available documentation to guide development, navigating and interpreting scarce or ambiguous resources.
- Testing and Debugging: Conduct thorough testing and extensive debugging to ensure high-quality deliverables, iterating through multiple cycles as needed.
- Collaboration: Engage with the protocol team to facilitate smooth integration of features, providing technical guidance and feedback.
- Continuous Improvement: Participate in the release process, ensuring stability and performance, and contribute to ongoing improvements and refinements.
- Take on new features or bug fixes, with full ownership
- Scoff at the lack of documentation in our field
- “Reverse engineer” protocol level … stuff… to integrate into client
- Debug, debug, debug
- Release and iterate

- What Sparks Your Enthusiasm: Shipping nonsense to billions of users; That point of a futile debugging session where you start to question your sanity and everything becomes hilarious; Finding interesting/troubling ways to solve engineering problems; “Huh, that’s weird”, gives you a sense of giddy panic; A constant feeling like your spinal column has been struck by lightning
- What Turns You Away: “It works on my machine”; “The user should be able to figure it out”; “That isn’t my problem”; Feeling generally calm and in control of the situation
- Actual: Desperate banging on keyboard; Ripping hair out over encoding errors; Not learning from previous mistakes about encoding errors; Ripping hair out over encoding errors
