Full Stack Engineer

Why you should join us

• Because we are early, your work will have a tremendous impact. For example, your efforts will help us streamline internal operations through engineering—a fascinating challenge that is key to our ability to scale.
• You will work hand in hand with Artifact CTOs: Moncef Biaz (UC Berkeley, Lead Engineer at Knowhere News, Charlie Finance) & Martin Gouy (UC Berkeley, Lead Data Scientist at Euclid [acquired], Wework).
• You’ll get to work on building a meaningful product that brings joy and a sense of connection to thousands of people.

You can check us out on The Today Show, read about us on TechCrunch, and listen to an Artifact featuring Twitch co-founders Michael Seibel & Justin Kan.

Tech Stack

Our stack is Django & React. We expect you to come in with a working knowledge of these frameworks. Your code will be deployed to production and put in front of our customers within a few days!

Responsibilities

Each project will involve refining the specs with the product team, scoping, architecture design, and implementation. Our sprint cadence is one week, so expect a fast iteration pace and a lot of variety.

Sample projects:

• Designing a permissioning system architecture allowing customers to securely share their Artifact’s with loved ones.
• Streamlining internal operations: implement an internal file management system allowing interviewers to receive their interview recordings and deliver edited Artifacts.
• Augmenting the Artifacts surface by making it not only an audio recording but allowing customers to leave comments and upload photos.

Profile

We are looking for someone who:...

• Strongly identifies with Artifact’s mission to help everyone tell their story.
• Values simplicity and fast iteration. Our philosophy is to prototype a minimum viable product and get early feedback from our customers to improve it.
• Is rigorous. Your code should be easily readable and maintainable, to minimize chances of shipping bugs (particularly hurtful with a consumer product).
• Has a product and consumer mindset. We’re not building the product for us. If users don’t find it sleek and intuitive, it doesn’t pass the bar.
• Thrives for continuous learning and collaboration. We believe the key to building a world class team is open and honest communication while always seeking to learn from our peers.

A little more about Artifact

• Our origin story.
• A full, public-facing Artifact.
• Here's a little Artifact-style introduction to the company:

We are working remotely at the moment. The right person for this role will be +/- 3 hours, by time zone from San Francisco (e.g., NYC is totally fine).

Thanks!
