Posted on Thursday, April 25, 2024

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

For all our openings, we are looking for:

  • 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

This is an exciting opportunity to help define the future of software development! We look forward to hearing from you.
