Company Overview:
Peerbound is a pre-launch, venture-backed SaaS startup, led by a second-time founder (first startup acquired by a public SaaS company) and a small, tight-knit team of seasoned engineers, designers, and operators from fast-growing software companies.
Peerbound’s mission is to help companies win their markets by unlocking and amplifying the voices of their customers. Our product is used and loved by a growing roster of leading software companies, with a large addressable market opportunity ahead of us. Generative AI is a foundational aspect of our product and company strategy.
We are backed by top-tier venture funds whose other investments include Square, Palantir, Instacart, Airtable, Webflow, and other breakout technology companies.
Our company is based in New York City, and this is an in-person role (in-office 4 days a week). We have seen that regular in-person collaboration results in the best long-term outcomes for both the company and each individual. We learn faster, decide faster, and deliver value to our customers faster because we are in-person.
Role Overview:
We are hiring a software engineer to own our frontend codebase and contribute, as needed, to our API backend. (We expect time to be split roughly 80% frontend / 20% backend.) You will work closely with our two backend engineers, product designer, and CEO to expand our customer-facing SaaS application. As an early team member, you will make foundational technology decisions and influence key product decisions that ultimately shape our product and company.
In a typical month, you might complete one or more of these projects:
- Build a UI that combines AI and human input to edit audio and video recordings
- Work with designers to create a new user experience for browsing through a catalog of digital multimedia content
- Add real-time collaboration to our rich semantic content editor
- Collaborate with designers to create and improve reusable components
- Build out authentication flows to integrate data from 3rd party platforms
- Work with backend engineers to design extensions to our GraphQL schema in order to support new features
You’re a good fit if you…
- Instinctively care about creating a delightful user experience and have a demonstrated track record of building performant, user-friendly software.
- Strongly biased toward action. You are comfortable quickly balancing tradeoffs and making decisions even if it means making occasional mistakes.
- Enjoy owning problems end-to-end. You can coordinate multiple pieces of a project, across team members and are self-motivated to go and learn any new things needed to make a project successful.
What You Bring:
An eagerness to learn and master a broad range of technologies, and a willingness to work anywhere in the tech stack needed to get the next big feature shipped
