Founding Engineer - Front End

Aerotime is building a beautiful, fast, and goal-driven calendar that enables humans to be effective and not just busy. Read more on Aerotime's vision in the "why join" section.

As we continue to own more and more calendar components, we're expanding our engineering team to support more complex use cases of a calendar. You'll be dealing with the complexities of keeping every action under 100ms, distributed systems, designing something from the ground up to help humans achieve productivity goals like never before, yet, keeping the product exceptionally intuitive and straightforward. We deal with optimization problems every day. For example: recommending perfect slots for placing tasks and meetings where the propensity to act on them is highest and causes least time fragmentation - what all dimensions will you look at?

If you join us, you'll be a founding team member who helps define:

1. Future company culture and principles
2. Engineering practices
3. People to hire
4. The direction & focus of Aerotime's products

You are:

1. Product Driven: You think backward from user experience and have a sense of building delightful products. You love listening to customer problems and building for them.
2. Tinkerer: You enjoy building products for the end goal of what's getting shipped, and hence are comfortable moving across the stack when necessary. You love problem-solving and enjoy figuring out solutions to challenging problems. Our projects are large with open-ended scope.
3. Depth-first: You love breaking down a problem into smaller pieces and perfecting out smaller machines to ensure the larger ecosystem runs smoothly. You're opinionated and have high conviction, making you go all-in and generate an increased sense of accountability.
4. Team player: You appreciate documentation and collaborate via product reviews, code reviews, and architecture discussions.
5. Ethical: Principally, uphold best practices in engineering, security, and design.

Aerotime has two options for front end interviews, you have an option to select your path.

Option 1: 1 project + 1 technical round + 1 product/culture round

Option 2:  3 technical rounds + 1 product/culture round

In option one, the technical round will be taken after the project is done, the technical round will breakdown your project work and ask questions related to it.

In option two, rounds will cater to hands on programming, front-end design and architecture, and DSA.

Product/Culture round: This will be your final round. We will talk about your approach to building products.
