高级全栈工程师 - 产品

This is a remote position available anywhere in the world! Linkedin makes us show a country, but we hire the best people wherever they are.

Our core mission at Railway is to make software engineers higher leverage. We believe that people should be given powerful tools so that they can spend less time setting up to do, and more time doing.

At Railway, we believe that making tooling more accessible for build and deployment is one of the greatest possible productivity unlocks of our generation. We also believe that the major roadblock between us and our goal is strong interfacing paradigms.

If you’re looking to build an operating system for builders, we’d love to talk with you!

- Craft intuitive interfaces that allow our users to interface with powerful computing paradigms, with help from our design team.

- Build TypeScript + GraphQL APIs with strong guarantees around modeling data, allowing both internal and external users to build against.

- Write Engineering Requirement Documents to take something from idea, to defined tasks, to implementation, to monitoring it’s success.

This is a high impact, high agency role with direct effect on company culture, trajectory, and outcome.

Things to know

For better or worse, we're a startup; our team dynamics are different from companies of different sizes and stages.

- We're distributed ALL across the globe, and that's only going to be more and more distributed. As a result, stuff is ALWAYS happening.

- We do NOT expect you to work all the time, but you'll have to be diligent about your boundaries because the end of your day may overlap with the start of someone else's.

- We're a small team, with high ownership, who are not only passionate about what we do, but seek to be exceptional as well. At the time of writing we're 21, serving hundreds of thousands of users. There's a lot of stuff going on, and a lot of ambiguity.

- We want you to own it. We believe that ownership is a key to growth, and part of that growth is not only being able to make the choices, but owning the success, or failure, that comes with those choices.

Benefits and perks

At Railway, we provide best in class benefits. Great salary, full health benefits including dependents, strong equity grants, equipment stipend, and much more. For more details, check back on the main careers page https://railway.app/careers/full-stack.

Beyond compensation, there are a few things that we believe that make working at Railway truly unique:

- Autonomy: We have very few meetings. Just a Monday and a Friday to go over the Company Board. We think your time is sacred, whether it's at work, or outside of work.

- Ownership: We're a company with a high ownership, high autonomy culture. We hope that you'll come in, help us, and over the course of many years do the best work of your life. When we bring you onboard, we expect you to change the company.

- Novel problems/solutions: We're a startup that's well funded, with cool problems, which lets us implement novel solutions! We abhor “busywork” and think, whether it's community, engineering, operations, etc there's always opportunity for creative and high leverage solutions.

- Growth: We want you to grow with us, but we know that talent is loaned, so when you figure out what area you want to grow in next, whether it's at Railway or outside, we'll make sure you land there.
