THE ROLE
As a foundational member of our engineering team, you'll do all backend work to help ship new features for our web app.
We have a frequent cadence of shipping new features and a close connection to our market. With 800k monthly active users spending hundreds of thousands of hours on the platform, each contribution and feature you ship will have a meaningful impact for the users.
Since we're a startup, you'll have to be willing to get your hands dirty with (and learn) lots of technologies across the backend stack: API design, data engineering, algorithms, startup engineering, analytics, monitoring, web crawling, etc. as well as the frontend stack (it's fine to not have any frontend experience starting out).
THE IDEAL CANDIDATE
3+ years of experience with backend engineering
Clean simple code, even when solving complex problems
Good systems design
Ability to learn new tech quickly
Enjoyable to work with
TECHNOLOGY STACK
Python, PostgreSQL, FastAPI, Redis, TypeScript, React, Next.js, Tailwind, AWS, Kubernetes, Prometheus, Pinecone, OpenAI
EXAMPLE PROJECTS

Retrieve semi-structured data from various online sources and automate the structuring of the data
Improve the evaluation framework for our search engine

UpCodes provides an accessible platform for construction codes. We are working to consolidate the shifting points of information into a single searchable database. Regulations and codes are found in a range of independent resources. UpCodes brings together construction codes, fire codes, and ADA standards categorized by jurisdiction. The open information platform is designed to increase accessibility and facilitate collaboration between architects, designers, engineers, and construction professionals. The consolidation of resources makes it possible to simplify the complex network of regulations. Individual code publications are dependent on each other, built on a foundation of linked references. Bringing these points of information into a single source code reduces friction in navigating.
