Description:

Rockstar is recruiting for a fast-growing SaaS company that empowers creators, coaches, and online experts to build thriving online communities.
The client offers a plug-and-play platform that enables users to manage discussions, courses, payments, events, documents, workflows, matchmaking, directories, and more—all on their own websites.
The successful candidate will be one of the first engineers to join the company, working on a product and codebase that is already functional with hundreds of customers processing thousands of dollars every month.
The team consists of exceptionally skilled individuals with deep experience from their previous roles.
Typescript is a core focus, and candidates passionate about applying type systems and functional patterns will find this environment suitable.
The company is ready to leverage AI agents to enhance their application building blocks, allowing for innovative development without brittleness.
Responsibilities include working closely with the team to scope and prioritize new features, writing modular and maintainable code, creating frameworks for AI coding agents, and monitoring the production environment to resolve bugs.
Remote work requires at least 5 hours of overlap with New York, NY, USA.
Ideal candidates will appreciate working with Typescript, enjoy writing high-quality code, want to influence product direction, thrive in autonomous environments, and are willing to explore unfamiliar technologies.

Requirements:

Candidates must have a strong background working with Typescript or similar typed languages.
Experience with React or similar frontend component frameworks is required.
Candidates should have experience scaling backend infrastructure and identifying performance bottlenecks.
Strong opinions about well-designed products and an intuition for balancing long-term engineering best practices with rapid iteration are essential.
Empathy for users and a desire to craft delightful user experiences are necessary.
A love for building and experimenting with products is expected.
Bonus points for candidates who have founded a company, have experience with profiling and monitoring NodeJS in production, or have experience building real-time applications.

The role offers the leverage and autonomy of being an early engineer without the burden of building everything from scratch.
The company prioritizes developer experience and is willing to invest time in improving internal tooling for better shipping.
The entire tech stack is type-safe, enhancing the quality of development.
The opportunity to work on innovative projects that influence the direction of the product and the community-centric platform.
