This role is ideal for ambitious engineers with entrepreneurial goals.

We value in-person collaboration and work out of our office in the Williamsburg neighborhood of Brooklyn.

What You’ll Do

  • Have direct relationships with customers. Whether they’re a CTO, VP of Eng, or Software Engineer, you’ll be the face of Fern and the first person they turn to when they need help. You’ll quickly build a network within the SaaS startup community, especially among YC founders.
  • Move fast. To support our customers, you’ll work across several codebases to release bug fixes and features. For example, one day you may fix a bug related to our TypeScript SDK generator and another day you may add features to the Docs Frontend.
  • Drive our product roadmap. When you hear a request from a customer that feels hard to build, they may be questioning an assumption we made 6 months ago or proposing a feature requiring a large engineering effort from us. You can use this customer context to build something people want.™
  • Build our team. We’re growing, and you will work directly with the CEO, CTO, and other founding members to bring in talented engineers.

What You’ll Bring

  • 3+ years of professional software development, ideally some of which you’ve spent as a solutions engineer, forward deployed engineer, or founder
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills with an ability to think on your feet and solve problems during calls with technical customers
  • Significant experience with TypeScript and at least one other programming language
  • Willingness to be a polyglot and work across multiple programming languages (e.g., TypeScript, Python, Rust)
  • (Bonus) Experience working with the OpenAPI specification, Conjure (Palantir), or Smithy (AWS)

What We Offer

  • An opportunity to build a network with high-growth software companies
  • First-hand experience building an early-stage startup
  • A salary of $170,000 to $210,000 and equity
  • Living proximity bonus of $18,000 per year if you choose to live near the office
  • Meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner) at the office
  • Health, dental, and vision insurance
  • Unlimited vacation
