smlXL is a 'stealth' start-up building an Information retrieval service with Consumer and Enterprise applications. Our first focus is providing a far richer understanding of the semantics of blockchain activity, making data and information accessible and useful to all.
We aren't ready to talk broadly about what we are working on, but we might be a good place for you if:
You are highly technical; you care about your craft; you are constantly learning; used to working on baremetal servers and running your own stack, you are fascinated by Information Systems, Semiotics, and Blockchain data; you get excited by turning black boxes transparent; and you love working on things that add a ton of value to consumers and prosumers alike; or you are into the EVM, decompilers, databases, and distributed systems.
About You
Benefits and Support
As a senior software engineer, you will work closely with the CTO, be a critical part of our core team, and have a huge influence over the direction of the company. You will lead projects and work with cross functional teammates to design and implement systems like our API, notifications service, and authentication service while focusing on scalability and performance. We will compensate you well, invest deeply in your development, and do everything we can to make sure this is the single best work experience of your life.
You'll ship. You'll be working on the core product to engineer solutions across multiple modules including payments, messaging, and file-sharing. Whether it's fixing a bug or architecting a new feature, you'll move fast.
You'll be an owner. You'll be the leader of multiple projects and be responsible for their success. This involves closely collaborating with the founders and other engineers, creating engineering tasks, writing documentation, and setting up new services and scalable infrastructure.
You'll balance the short and long term. While knowing the importance of shipping quickly you also know how to craft thoughtful long-term technical strategy. You know when to address tech debt and when to improve infrastructure and processes (testing, code reviews, CI/CD).
You'll help build the team. The first 10 members of a startup dictate the next 100. You'll help interview and recruit more talented engineers.
You'll learn about startups. Aside from your core work, you'll have the opportunity to get involved in other areas - marketing, growth, ops, etc.
You have good values. You understand why diversity matters and make others feel like they belong. You're low ego and make the workplace more fun for everyone.
You're entrepreneurial. You are comfortable with ambiguity and thrive in fast-pasted environments. You've likely worked at startups before or might want to start one in the future.
You're hardworking. You understand that building a category-defining company requires people that work smart and that also work hard.
You're experienced. You have 5+ years experience working on production software and have worked across the stack. You are comfortable with React, Typescript, Golang and NoSQL databases (Mongo, Dyanmo, etc.)
You know what matters. We believe your education is irrelevant; we only care that you can build great products. Likewise, in your work you're not religious about any one technology and care more about making progress.
You're a systems thinker. You don't identify as a particular (frontend/backend/etc.) engineer but are more interested in solving problems holistically.
You're resourceful. You are a fast learner and have a “get things done” mentality. If you don't understand something you quickly determine what to do to push forward.
You put users first. You think critically about the implications of what you're building. You're constantly putting yourself in shoes of the users and push back when necessary.
Mobile/Webapp: React-Native/React + Redux and Typescript
Backend: Golang and DynamoDB.
AWS Serverless architecture with Lambda, API Gateway, and Cognito.
Custom design system based on MaterialUI.
Bespoke websocket service to connect frontend and backend in real-time.
