About the Tech Stack You’ll Be Working With
Founded by a technical leader, we prioritize developer experience and automation. If you're proficient in Next.js, you’ll be able to start coding in our codebase within an hour, with full support from our lead engineer.
Our primary technologies are Next.js (app dir), TypeScript, GraphQL, PostgreSQL, LLMs, Vercel, and AWS. Most of what we do is written in TypeScript and compiled to native code. For example, we write the majority of our GraphQL and PostgreSQL interactions using TypeScript.

Interview Process
Our process includes a few texts, two interviews, and a take-home project unrelated to our current platform. If hired, you will be able to start as soon as your offer date.
After receiving your information, and our system will request your resume via email. We’ll review your resume and typically get back to you within three business days, texting you with any outstanding questions.
If it appears to be a good mutual fit, we’ll schedule your first interview with our lead engineer to cover basic skills questions and address any questions you have.
If it still appears to be a good fit, we’ll ask you to walk us through a hosted portfolio project you’ve made that leverages Next.js and unique features you built.
If you don’t have a portfolio project, we will pay you $75/hr to create one. The test project will be time bound, and require you to use TypeScript, Next.js app dir, Vercel, Tailwind CSS, and other technologies in our stack.
Once complete, we'll schedule your second interview where you'll walk our lead engineer and CEO through the project, highlighting your thought process, challenges, and how you solved them.
We’ll then either make an offer or let you know that it’s not a good fit.
