Senior Full Stack Engineer

At Feeld, we are creating a world where everyone is more intimately connected to each other and themselves. We are building an inclusive, human-centred product and are looking for a Senior Fullstack Engineer with a backend focus to become part of our remote team and our mission to elevate the human experience of sexuality and relationships.

You will be responsible for core product engineering, working on the Feeld mobile app and the supporting backend systems to deliver new features and updates to our Members.

To be right for this role, you should have extensive backend development experience, ideally with TypeScript - and a solid understanding of AWS technologies. You should be well versed in development best practices, especially in regards to security and potential attack vectors - and have a working knowledge of frontend development including the platform specifics of Android and iOS.

What you will do: Work with a group of 6 engineers and 1 lead in a "Squad", focusing on core pillars of the product such as the onboarding, discover, chat, or Member care experiences

Build experiments, features and fix issues aligned with the goals of your Squad

Support engineers within your Squad and the wider engineering team, by sharing your knowledge of fullstack development

Align with peers across the business to ensure a fully supported user experience, including required "back office" tooling, security/compliance features, and data/analytics capabilities

Monitor and review current systems and services, and recommend and implement changes to address technical debt

Requirements About you: You have worked on scalable (1M MAU) and distributed systems, focused on performance and reliability. You are familiar with micro services, event driven architecture, message queues and serverless functions

You know your way around a React Native mobile app, capable of debugging issues and contributing to features

You are comfortable with the suite of services offered by modern cloud providers such as AWS and understand your way around their consoles

You value collaboration and see code reviews as a chance to learn and improve together. You are comfortable both giving and receiving constructive feedback in pull requests, and focusing on building better solutions as a team

You understand the importance of delivering value to our Members, not just shipping code. You will understand the "why" behind what you're building, and collaborate closely with product and QA

Bonus points: You enjoy sweating the details of both user experience and API design

You have actively worked on a live production app using GraphQL and DynamoDB

You have experience collaborating on product and design requirements with stakeholders

You are effective at collaborating in a remote and distributed work environment, maintaining open communication and strong connections with colleagues

You are experienced with distributed systems and have a keen eye for software architecture and its implementation

Benefits About us: Feeld is an independent, experimental and fully remote organisation reshaping the dialogue on dating and sexuality. The company was founded in 2014 and has evolved since to become the open, distributed structure it is now. We have a naturally agile and fluid culture. The whole team is fully remote, which means you work where and when helps you perform at your best. We regard autonomy highly and treat our organisation as a product - we iterate, improve and test things internally to see what works best for everyone.

Our culture: We believe in creating a safe work environment through humanity, fluidity, safety, transparency and progressiveness. When hiring, we look for culture add rather than culture fit.

Diversity, equity, inclusion and belonging at Feeld: Feeld promotes open-mindedness, inclusion, diversity and kindness, both in the world and among our own workforce.

We encourage and welcome applications from people with a history of marginalisation, whether because of race, gender expression or identity, sexual orientation, neurodivergence, national origin, disability (seen or unseen) or any confluence of intersectional identities.

Compensation and perks: We are conscious of how our work and decisions impact other humans and the environment. We design our product and organisation with consideration for the wellbeing of our Members and colleagues. Feeld's way of working is designed to proactively prevent burnout and an "always on" culture. We believe in technology and working environments that enable people to live a meaningful, fulfilled life.
