Software Engineer (Frontend, Backend, or Full stack)

Are you an exceptional software engineer with a passion for building cutting-edge tools? At Subscript, we’re on a mission to revolutionize finance teams' workflows with a comprehensive suite that handles everything from billing to subscription metrics. With a tech stack of Postgres, Node.js/Express.js, and React, we’re crafting a product that redefines how finance teams operate.

As part of a fully remote, asynchronous team, you’ll enjoy the freedom to work from anywhere and create your own schedule. We value autonomy, clear communication, and collaboration while fostering a culture where you can take ownership of your work and achieve your goals.

What You’ll Do

As one of our first ten engineers, you’ll play a critical role in shaping both our product and engineering culture. Your contributions will span the entire stack, focusing on both the backend and frontend:

• On the backend, you’ll design and implement databases, manage complex data problems, and build APIs with robust testing.
• On the frontend, you’ll create intuitive user experiences using React, HTML/CSS, and styled components, collaborating with designers and founders to build features users will love.
• Across both areas, you’ll iterate on our product, ensuring it meets high standards of functionality and user satisfaction.

We’re looking for engineers who thrive in a fast-paced environment and take pride in crafting high-quality, scalable solutions.

What Sets Us Apart

At Subscript, we operate differently from most teams:

• Work Anywhere, Anytime: Our remote-first approach means you can work in any time zone (or even off-planet, if you figure that out).
• No Meetings, No Micromanagement: We’re asynchronous, relying on written and recorded communication. You’ll have autonomy to tackle goals in your own way.
• Collaborative Innovation: Your ideas will directly shape our product, and you’ll work alongside founders and designers to bring them to life.

What We’re Looking For

We’re not interested in long lists of requirements. If you’re passionate about your craft and fit our culture, we want you on our team. Here’s what we value:

• Engineering Excellence: You write clean, high-quality code, develop comprehensive tests, and deliver quickly.
• Strong Communication: You communicate effectively in writing and through recorded videos, thriving in an asynchronous environment.
• Cultural Fit: You value autonomy, accountability, and collaboration, and you’re excited to work on a globally distributed, diverse team.

The Perks of Joining Subscript

We believe in rewarding our team for their hard work with benefits that support work-life balance and professional growth:

• Unlimited vacation to recharge on your own schedule.
• Flexible working hours—work whenever and wherever suits you best.
• Benefits tailored to your location (health/dental/vision coverage in the USA).
• Company-wide retreats multiple times per year to connect and collaborate in person.
• Market-rate compensation and benefits because we value your skills and contributions.

How We Hire

Our hiring process is designed to focus on your engineering skills and communication abilities. Here's what to expect:

1. Complete a small code challenge.
2. Record a video of yourself working through a 90-minute exercise.
3. Submit a technical design document to demonstrate how you think and communicate in writing.
4. If everything aligns, we’ll send you an offer—and hopefully, you’ll accept!
