Full job description
Well-capitalized Seattle + Bay Area start-up seeks extremely talented principal software engineers to join our team of early AWS S3 engineers and help rewire the internet for privacy and security. You must have experience designing and building large and complex (yet maintainable) software systems, and you should be able to do so in about one-third the time that most competent people think possible. You should have a BS, MS, or PhD in computer science or equivalent. Top-notch written communication skills are essential. Familiarity with distributed systems, high performance networking, and/or compilers would be helpful but is not necessary.
Expected talented, motivated, intense and interesting colleagues. We are a hybrid team (3 days per week) in the Seattle and San Francisco Bay areas.
Your compensation will include meaningful equity ownership.
