About Motion

Motion’s mission is to empower everyone to do their best work by automatically optimizing their schedule. By constantly monitoring and reorganizing their to-do list and calendar, we help professionals make time for their highest priority tasks while never missing any deadlines. We are growing extremely quickly: several million in annual recurring revenue, and trusted by 10,000+ paying users from world-class companies. Motion has raised millions of dollars from top-tier investors, including recently our Series A, and was part of Y Combinator’s Winter 2020 class.

The Role

We are hiring a full-stack expert who can inform key architectural decisions and help Motion scale the next 2 orders of magnitude. You will work on Motion’s innovative time management platform that helps users organize their schedule and efficiently power through their day. Areas that you may work on include making our web-app more performant and delightful to use, our task management platform UI, 3rd party integrations, and backend endpoints for application logic.

You’ll work closely with our ambitious and no-BS engineering team to shape the foundations of our company.

Responsibilities

  • Own architectural decisions and the technical build-out as we scale
  • Build user-facing features on frontend, improve performance and reliability in our React-based web-app
  • Improve Motion’s backend systems: build backend endpoints for application logic (e.g., scheduling, search)

What we’re looking for

  • 5+ years of software development experience
  • Proficiency in React, Redux, and Node.js
  • Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform
  • Have worked on a code base at scale
