Senior Software Engineer, Growth

Bubble empowers businesses and entrepreneurs around the world to build software and apps without writing any code or having to think about infrastructure. We have created a rich visual programming language running on cloud infrastructure, making technology accessible and user friendly and allowing users to bring their visions to life quickly.

 

What we’ve achieved:

Our product is working, and we are thriving. Entire VC-backed companies have been built entirely on Bubble, we recently raised a $100 million Series A after years of bootstrapping, and we’re one of the fastest growing companies in the New York tech ecosystem. 

 

You can build just about anything on Bubble. All new hires build Bubble apps as part of their onboarding, and a recent hire on our Customer Success team built their own version of the social media application Goodreads in 4 days. It has user authentication, an activity feed, upvotes, commenting, followers, lists, account management, live updates, a fully loaded database, API connectivity, and more.

 

About the role:

Bubble is simultaneously a no-code design tool, a Turing-complete programming language, and a hosting platform as a service. As you might imagine, the technical challenges we face are interesting and diverse. We view ourselves as still early-stage in our long-term product journey, and there is unlimited scope for engineers to shape our future direction.

Senior engineers at Bubble are expected to have a strong voice in both product and technical direction, ship a lot of code, drive technical excellence, and teach and learn from their colleagues. We have a culture that emphasizes trust and autonomy, where teams are given problems to tackle rather than solutions to implement.

Team placement is flexible, and we encourage internal mobility. Current openings include:

• Our Growth team: we are looking for fast-moving, business-minded full stack engineers to build a world-class new user experience and tackle hard problems around motivating and guiding users as they learn our powerful and complex  product

 

About you:

• 5+ years’ industry experience as a software engineer, preferably at high-growth startups
• Strong coding skills and the ability to mentor other engineers
• Excellent communication
• Alignment with our values: a desire to empower others, a focus on team and user success over individual achievement, and transparency and willingness to admit mistakes and failures

 

We don’t require new hires to be experts in our tech stack day 1, but some familiarity and a willingness to learn fast is helpful:

• Frontend: Typescript, SolidJS
• Backend: Typescript, Node.js, Redis, Postgres, TimescaleDB
• Infrastructure: AWS, CDK / Terraform, ECS, Typescript, Elastic

 

If this sounds like you, apply!  If you don’t meet all of the qualifications but think you could be a match, we’d still love the chance to review your application. 

 

We offer competitive compensation aligned to tier one markets, such as New York City, San Francisco, and Seattle. Our estimated salary for this role at Bubble ranges from $157,000 to $213,000. Actual pay is determined by multiple factors such as skills, qualifications, experience and market demand.

 

At Bubble, we encourage people from all ages, abilities, and experiences to apply. Bubble does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, ancestry, religion, national origin, sexual orientation, age, citizenship, marital or family status, disability, gender, gender identity or expression, pregnancy or caregiver status, veteran status, or any other legally protected status.

 

Bubble is remote-friendly, and we have employees who work across the United States. In-office requirements will vary by role. You'll be able to identify which state you plan to work in on your application. Note: at this time, for this particular role, we are only considering candidates who are authorized to work in the U.S. and are within commuting distance of our office based in New York City.
