Convex is transforming the way developers build applications. Our mission is to fundamentally change how software is built on the Internet by empowering developers to create fast, reliable, and dynamic apps without a backend team. We provide a full-stack app platform carefully designed with database, compute and backend abstractions that allow developers and LLMs to move fast but also create products that scale and remain simple over their lifetime. The Team: Convex has assembled a team of engineers who have built and designed some of the largest backends in the world, with exabytes of data, millions of transactions per second, and shipped desktop and mobile software onto billions of devices. We are a group of friendly, collaborative, and passionate people that love working in-person together in our office in San Francisco. The Role: Convex has a large product surface area across our dashboard, insights, third-party integrations, project management, billing systems, email services, logging, streaming, etc. These are all core to our customers’ businesses so they need to be powerful and reliable but also intuitive and a delight to use. We’re looking for engineers who are deeply passionate about building good product experiences and expanding our product offerings, especially as we grow more up-market. If you’re an engineer with good design taste who cares about quality but is also very comfortable with prioritization and working directly with customers and business teams, you’ll likely be a great fit for this team. This is a role for folks who don’t just want to be solving puzzles, they want to do work that has real impact and to apply product sensibilities to deciding “why” and “what” we build, not just “how”.

  • Design, build and maintain Convex’s platforms, dashboard UI, integrations, billing and other services.
  • Work directly with customers and company leadership (hi! this is me, James) to shape plans for what features we need to build.
  • Develop a strong understanding of what matters for our customers and what matters for our business and leverage this to make tradeoffs and discern between competing priorities.
  • Help establish good practices and reliability guidelines as we scale up our team and systems.
  • Write a bunch of cool product and platform code.
  • Strong UX sensibilities and enthusiasm to build intuitive interfaces.
  • The ability to conceptualize the needs of someone else. Often our customers have much larger teams than ours with different business requirements we need to understand.
  • Empathy for what drives the business and and expertise at prioritizing what matters.
  • Experience or enthusiasm for scaling in a high growth startup environment.
  • Interest to work in-person at Convex's office in SF.
  • An appreciation for clean architectures and an ability to write high quality code.
  • An enthusiasm for going deep to understand Convex systems and not be constrained to a certain layer of the stack
