Full-Stack Engineer, Core Services (Senior Level)

We are revolutionizing how businesses solve their most complex problems. As a Fullstack Software Engineer in our Core Services team, you’ll design, build, and optimize the core systems and management platforms that power the Instabase platform.

This is a high-impact role for a “Product-minded Engineer.” In our Core Services team, we treat our platform as a product. Because we operate with a lean team, you will have end-to-end ownership: from writing Product Requirement Documents (PRDs) and building the high-performance backend services and scalable infrastructure that support them.

What you’ll do:

• Full Stack Development: You will function as a product-minded engineer for our internal platform. This involves architecting secure infrastructure (Kubernetes, Docker) and backend services (Go, Python, PostgresDB), while also building the frontend interfaces (React, TS) to support features.
• Developer Experience: Create the internal platforms and dashboards that improve developer velocity, reliability, and observability across the entire organization.
• Technical Leadership: Act as a technical leader who mentors junior engineers, contributes to the entire infrastructure codebase, and identifies root causes for critical system issues.

About you:

• Education: BS, MS, or PhD in Computer Science, or equivalent experience in a technical field such as Physics or Mathematics.
• Experience: 5+ years of professional software development experience with a strong foundation in CS fundamentals.
• Backend Expertise: Proficiency in Go and Python, with a deep understanding of building scalable backend services and APIs.
• Frontend Expertise: Strong experience with React, TypeScript, and JavaScript for building complex, data-rich web applications.
• Infrastructure & Orchestration: Proficiency with Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, or Azure). Strong experience with relational databases, specifically PostgresDB.
• Product Thinking & UI Design: You are comfortable functioning as your own PM and Designer and write technical specs (PRDs) to define how users interact with infrastructure.
• Communication: Excellent communication skills to represent technical and product decisions to the wider engineering team.

Good to have:

• Experience with React Native for mobile or cross-platform applications.
• Prior experience in a startup environment where you handled multi-functional responsibilities (Dev, PM, and Design).

Compensation: The base salary range for this role is $190,000 to $205,000 + bonus, equity and US benefits. The actual pay may vary based on factors such as location, experience and skills.

• Flexible PTO: Because life is better when you actually live it!
• Comprehensive Coverage: Top-notch medical, dental, and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with Matching: We’ve got your back for a secure future.
• Parental Leave & Fertility Benefits: Supporting you in growing your family, your way.
• Therapy Sessions Covered: Mental health matters— 10 free sessions through Samata Health.
• Wellness Stipend: For gym memberships, fitness tech, or whatever keeps you thriving.
• Lunch on Us: Enjoy a lunch credit when you're in the office.
