Glue is a funded, seed-stage stealth startup working on the next generation of work communication tools. We believe that today’s work chat is noisy, unstructured, and not designed for productivity. We’re drawing from decades of communication innovation in structured notes, email, groups, and real-time messaging to create a tool that gets out of the way and lets teams exchange information and make decisions in a more natural way.Opportunity
We’re looking for a backend engineer to join our small team and help lead the effort to prepare the product for launch.

We’ll be shipping daily and experimenting with ideas and interactions as we envision them, focusing on usability, attention to detail, performance, and innovation around optimal team communication.You:

You know how to architect a project the “right way”, but also know when to ask about requirements and make tradeoffs depending on the maturity of the project.You care about details but know when to avoid getting lost in the weeds and prioritize the immediate outcomes needed.You want to be part of a scrappy, early team who is building something ambitious and exciting.What will help you succeed:
5+ years of backend development experience2+ years of experience designing and maintaining production systems2+ years of experience with a typed language such as Go, TypeScript, etc.2+ years of experience working with SQL databases at the application and infrastructure levelsExperience designing and maintaining APIs (familiarity with GraphQL will be helpful)Independent and self-motivated—maintaining side projects or libraries a major plusBenefits
