Because you are a product-minded developer, you easily connect the dots between our tech, the business and of course, our users. You are empathetic, thoughtful and a true team player, collaborating easily with your colleagues across the org. You love the fast pace of startups, the ownership that comes with being a part of a small team and are passionate about open source software and communities. If you’re an optimistic self-starter who loves finding elegant solutions to hard problems, we want to hear from you!
What You’ll Do:
- Contribute to the vision and technical strategy of Tina Cloud.
- Architect and build the APIs that power the developers using Tina.

Who You Are:
- You have 8+ years of software development experience, and have built and scaled multiple production back-end systems before.
- You have deep experience in either Go or Node.js.
- You have experience architecting systems on cloud infrastructure (AWS preferred) and have strong knowledge of security, serverless and NoSQL.
- You’re excellent at weighing the short and long-term tradeoffs of complex technical decisions.
- You’re an excellent communicator and collaborator, driving technical decisions in a collaborative environment.
- You enjoy digging deep and solving tough problems with code, as you’ll be building abstractions, refactoring and troubleshooting regularly.
- You enjoy the autonomy, entrepreneurialism and bias for execution found in a technology startup.
Nice-To-Haves:
- You’ve worked on building APIs or libraries for other developers and understand the importance of a great DX.
- You have experience building content management systems.
- You have experience working with the technologies in the JAMstack ecosystem.
- You have experience working with React & Next.js.
