About the company
Our client is an early-stage software company.
The role
Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. Shape the core software platform behind an automation product and its user-facing experience, working across backend, data and frontend. Move work from first idea through release in close contact with users, with substantial autonomy.
What you'll do
- Ship user-facing functionality from early idea to live release, speaking with users, shaping the approach and watching real usage.
- Model data securely with strong audit trails and build event-driven processing pipelines.
- Create service interfaces for internal and external use, plus a live web dashboard that gives customers clear visibility.
- Connect the platform to third-party business systems and partners, and maintain a dependable data synchronization layer.
- Put monitoring, reliability targets and on-call routines in place for business-critical processes.
- Move across backend, data and frontend work depending on where effort pays off most.
What we're looking for
- Ability to work from the New York office full time, or willingness to relocate there.
- Sound product instincts, with a habit of improving things from user feedback and a high standard for interface design and usability.
- Self-directed approach to delivering complete features with little supervision.
- Degree in computer science or a related technical discipline from a well-regarded university.
- Background at a B2B or B2C SaaS startup that cares about product quality.
- Prior experience in a very small startup environment.
- If you have roughly 1 to 2 years of experience: an internship or role at a leading tech company, a portfolio demonstrating strong product skills, or a degree from a top engineering school.
- Enthusiasm for building at an early stage.
Bonus points
- Strong proficiency in TypeScript and Postgres.
- Familiarity with modern frontend tooling such as Next.js and Tailwind.
