Summary

Join our startup as a technical advisor to mentor our junior software engineer in system design and architecture decisions.

Requirements

• Has at least 5 years of software engineering experience
• Has built software from scratch in a scrappy way (ideally at a startup, and bonus-points for having been a technical founder)
• Has mentored junior software engineers before in some capacity, and really enjoys mentorship of engineers and non-technical founders
• Able to commit up to 4 hours per week (we expect that number to be closer to 30 min - 2 hours on average)
• Has a schedule in which they’d generally be able to meet on ~5 hours notice during working hours in an emergency

Responsibilities

• Gut-checking the engineer’s architecture decisions
• Evaluating the engineer’s performance
• Getting into the codebase only in an emergency or when there are extremely sensitive pieces of code

Benefits

Equity, with option for hourly compensation based on your preferred structure
