Pocket is building a category-defining platform for ambient intelligence. We need an engineer who can work across backend + frontend to ship the highest-leverage product and growth improvements - whatever moves the needle. What you'll own • End-to-end projects: instrumentation → backend services → web/app UI → rollout & iteration. • Build and iterate on user-facing product features (activation, retention, paid conversion, core UX). • Design, implement, and scale backend systems: APIs, data models, pipelines, jobs, reliability. • Improve frontend surfaces where it matters (web product, internal tools, landing pages, onboarding flows). • Drive experiments: set hypotheses, ship fast, measure results, and harden what works. • Work closely with design, product, marketing, and support - and help unblock them with code. What success looks like • Shipped features/experiments that measurably improve activation/retention/revenue. • Reliable systems with clear observability (logs/metrics/traces) and pragmatic correctness. • Clean, simple architecture that stays fast to iterate on as the product evolves. • High ownership: you proactively find the most important problems and solve them. What we're looking for • Have strong backend fundamentals (APIs, DBs, async jobs, caching, performance, reliability). • Can comfortably ship frontend changes (React/TypeScript or similar), even if it’s not your “main thing.” • Care deeply about product outcomes and can translate ambiguity into shipped work. • Prefer shipping and learning over long debates; you can move quickly without breaking things. • 6–10+ years of experience shipping production software (startup pace preferred). What we care about most • Performance and reliability by default: profiling, latency budgets, graceful degradation, and pragmatic correctness. Nice-to-haves • Experience running experiments / analytics instrumentation (events, funnels, cohorts). • Experience building internal tools that make teams faster. • Startup / zero-to-one experience. Our stack (today) • Mobile: Flutter • Frontend: React (TypeScript) • Backend: Go + Node • Data: Postgres + Redis What we offer • Work directly with us and learn fast • Direct impact on how the company operates day to day • High-trust, high-responsibility environment • Competitive compensation
