Staff Software Engineer - Full-Stack - remote

Fathom
Posted 11 months ago
Are you a highly experienced software engineer who enjoys working on a fast-growing product that users absolutely love? If so, you've come to the right place.

You have a lot of choices about where you spend your time, so let's first tell you a little about us.

🚀 ABOUT FATHOM

We think it’s insane that so many people and businesses rely on notes as a primary means of remembering and sharing insights from video calls. We started Fathom to rid us all of the tyranny of note-taking, and people seem to really love what we've built so far:

🔥 #1 Rated on G2 with 1,100+ reviews and a perfect 5/5 rating

🥇 #1 Product of the Day and #2 AI Product of the Year

💸 We’ve raised a $4.7M seed round from a number of great investors, including the CEOs of Twitch, Reddit, Cruise, Clearbit, and many more.

💖 Users have invested over $1.2M via our Wefunder

As you can see from the last graph, we're growing incredibly quickly, which is why we're looking to grow our small-but-mighty team.

🔥 WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN US

  • We’re smart and GSD (get shit done). You’ll work alongside our 3-person, all-senior engineering team (3 PhDs and 1 Masters in Computer Science, plus a front-end guy who can sing karaoke).
  • We embrace being fully remote. We schedule meetings sparingly and instead heavily use async comms (Slack, Notion, Loom)
  • Opportunity for impact. We’re established enough to be able to ship instead of fight fires but also early enough enough that your work will have a real impact.
  • Experienced management. You’ll work closely with our CEO who is a 2X Founder/CEO (previously started UserVoice) and who has a background in Computer Science as well as product design.

➡️ ABOUT OUR HIRING PROCESS

  • No live coding. We have no idea who thought writing code on whiteboards was a good idea but we hate it. We’re much more interested in what you’ve done and learned.
  • You’ll meet the entire team. We think it’s important that you get to meet everyone you’ll be working with.
  • No bullshit. Ask us anything you like. We’ve never understood why companies pretend they’re something that they’re not in the hiring process - you’re going to find out eventually so we’d rather you know who we are up front so we can both make sure this is a good fit for all involved.
  • Quick turnaround time. We know you have lots of options so we move fast usually in less than a week from start to finish.

⚙️ TECH STACK

We use all of the following technologies. Your knowledge of these would be helpful but you need not be familiar with all of them.

GKE, S3, Ruby/Rails/Sidekiq, Go, Electron, Typescript/TSX, Stencil, Elasticsearch, C++, Kafka, MySQL, Redis, Pusher, GitHub Actions, Docker, ArgoCD, CircleCI

✅ HARD REQUIREMENTS

Outside of the obvious technical skills, GSD mindset, and ability to thrive in a remote environment we do have a few hard requirements that you should be aware of:

  • High level of technical competence
  • You must have 5+ years of production experience with SAAS that has achieved some level of traction. We have no junior folks on our team nor the bandwidth to mentor them (yet).
  • Must speak English fluently and be available to work within 2 hours of a US timezone.
