Please feel free to reach out if you're interested in future roles at OneText, but for now we're no longer hiring for this one.
We're OneText, a YC backed (Winter '23) startup in the Bay Area, and we're looking for a lead Fullstack Typescript/Node Engineer
https://onetextfullstackeng.paperform.co
We're growing faster than we can manage! Since raising our seed round last year, we've:
- Come up with more ideas for features than we could build in a lifetime, and shipped a ton of them anyway
- Solved our fair share of scaling issues, allowing us to process tens of millions of webhooks and outbound messages per hour
- Built up some huge revenue streams from our dedicated customers, who want even more of what we have to offer, helping us gear up towards our targets for raising our Series A
- Had a lot of fun integrating AI into every part of our product
So: join us if you like the idea of a startup environment that is fast paced, but in a sustainable way. There are no shortage of fun engineering challenges and new things to learn. But we always want to be deliberate and smart about what we decide to build, and not just race from one thing to the next.

This is the general job description for all engineers at OneText
For this role specifically, here's what we're looking for:
You'll be working across the full stack, from our React front-end to our Node apis and workers, to our Postgres/Mongo/Redis database layers.
You should be great at TypeScript, and a fast enough learner to figure out any other part of the stack you need to build end-to-end features and projects.
We have a mix of more senior and junior engineers. We want you help lead the team, whether it's taking point on a project that involves a mix of different engineers on the team, or working directly with our sales or customer success team to identify a problem and solve it.
We also want you to uplevel the rest of the team. That will be through doing knowledge-sharing sessions (we aim to do at least one of these per week), code reviews, mentoring, and being active on Slack to help out anyone who needs it.
We want to learn as much as we can from you, and we want you to level the entire team up to be leads!
We're not looking for someone to build things based on a very strict list of requirements. More often it will be "here's a customer problem" or "here's an idea", and it'll be up to you to go figure the best way to solve that problem, present a plan, and then execute on it.
We want you to bring your own ideas to the table, and have a lot of product-sense. At Onetext, we believe engineers and our success teams should drive the direction of the product, not silo'ed off product managers
And we want you to have strong opinions about what is the right or wrong direction to go, depending on how much value and return-on-investment we'll get from going in a particular direction.
For any problem you face, you should be able to do the research to figure out a plan and execute on it. Whether that's researching our codebase, our docs, asking members of the team, doing discussions on slack or in person, googling or chatting with an AI.
You won't be on your own; we always like to jam on problems as a team, and have everyone pitch in. But we want you to have a sense of independence in how you approach any problem you come up against.
