About You

You’re an experienced engineer who takes ownership of meaningful surface area and ships. You move fluently across a large technology stack, picking up new patterns quickly and making thoughtful architectural calls. You have genuine empathy for the people using what you build — frontline operators on factory floors — and you bring a product mindset to every decision. You enjoy elevating the engineers around you through code review, pairing, and mentorship.

What Skills Do I Need?

• 5+ years of software engineering experience, including time spent building and shipping production systems at a SaaS company.

• Strong proficiency in TypeScript, with working knowledge of React and Node.js.

• Experience designing, building, and evolving RESTful APIs and service integrations.

• Track record of taking features from ambiguous problem through design, implementation, testing, and launch.

• Experience influencing technical direction — through design review, architectural proposals, or mentoring other engineers.

Key Responsibilities

Build and ship the Apps platform

• Design, build, and evolve features across Tulip’s composable no-code Apps platform, making deliberate trade-offs between speed, quality, and long-term maintainability.

• Own meaningful product surface area end-to-end — from technical design through production rollout and ongoing improvement.

• Contribute across our stack (React, Redux, Node.js, and the services that support them) to deliver cohesive end-to-end features.

Raise the bar technically

• Drive technical design discussions, propose architectural improvements, and lead code reviews that improve quality across the team.

• Mentor and pair with engineers earlier in their careers, helping raise the skill and judgment of the team overall.

• Establish and maintain testing, observability, and documentation practices that keep the codebase healthy.

Partner with Product and Design

• Collaborate with Product Management and Design to shape roadmaps, surface technical opportunities, and pressure-test scope.

• Use customer feedback and product data to inform what we build and how we prioritize.
