Engineering at Substack

Full Stack Engineers at Substack are responsible for the core product platform, from frontend UI and testing, to APIs, low-level services, and database operations. Full Stack Engineers work in close partnership with designers, product thinkers, and customers directly to build out new product offerings and tooling across the platform. They are on the front-lines of product development and are responsible for creating what’s next for Substack.

Responsibilities

    • With the support of the engineering team, develop the core Substack product for readers and writers. This is a dynamic organization with needs across the board. We expect that engineers will be able to jump into any area of the product, learn quickly and add value.
    • Grow and learn engineering best practices with close mentorship and collaboration from more experienced engineers. 
    • Contribute to the whole product process in collaboration 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 deliver high-quality solutions.
    • Work directly with customers to solve their problems. The entire company (CEO included) participates in customer support in order to drive empathy for our users and help us build better products.
    • We work with JavaScript, 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.

Requirements

    • 6 years of non-internship professional front-end and or full stack web software development using TypeScript and React.js
    • Have a degree in Computer Science or have the equivalent industry 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.
    • 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.
