About the role
Substack is building a Sponsorships-focused team to augment direct subscriptions with paid sponsorships, empowering creators without degrading user trust. The role spans frontend, backend, and sometimes mobile development on a small, cross-functional team.
Responsibilities
- Build frontend and backend (and sometimes mobile) features that help creators take advantage of sponsorship opportunities
- Collaborate with designers, writers, support staff, and many others. From product concept and research to implementation and deployment, we expect you to own your work and operate autonomously.
- We work with TypeScript, especially Node/Express and React, and Postgres. It’s helpful if you know these technologies already; if not, we’ll be excited to help you learn.
Qualifications
- At least 5+ years of software engineering experience.
- Independent and autonomous. We’re too small to micromanage, and expect that every person at the company owns their work and can be a leader.
- Hold yourself and others to a high standard when working on production systems.
- Take pride in building elegant and delightful product experiences. Substack works best when it gets out of the way so writers can focus on writing and connecting with their readers.
- Enjoy collaboration with a diverse group of thinkers while bringing our own unique experience and background to the team.
- Believe in Substack’s mission to build a better business model for writing.
- Experience working with ML technology would be beneficial.
- Experience at a fast-growing startup or working on a high-performing growth team is not required, but is a plus.
