The opportunity

This is a chance to ship code that matters, working with Work-Life Balance on systems serving high-traffic workloads. This mid-level role pairs a $107,000 - $160,000 salary with hands-on ownership, a collaborative team, and clear opportunities to level up.

Key Responsibilities

  • Stand up observability so StartupSphere sees failures before customers in CA do
  • Carry a purpose-soaked Go feature through code freeze without breaking StartupSphere stability
  • Reproduce the playfully-serious bug from the Los Angeles field report, then make it impossible again
  • Reach into legacy Cost Optimization modules and leave them cleaner than you found them
  • Lead technical design reviews for mid-level technology initiatives
  • Translate technology compliance rules into Datadog guardrails baked into the build
  • Keep StartupSphere's Go CI under ten minutes so Los Angeles, CA engineers stay in flow
  • Refactor the technology module StartupSphere has been afraid to touch

What You'll Bring

  • An appetite for ownership that scales with the stakes
  • Comfort steering technology conversations toward a decision
  • Practical command of Incident Response, with bonus points for Go
  • Generously-mentoring problem-solving that doesn't wait for permission
  • A growth mindset and openness to constructive feedback
  • A keen eye for quality and consistency in your output

Based in Los Angeles, StartupSphere has spent 3 years shaping how people work across the technology space. Feedback flows in every direction at StartupSphere, from the newest hire to the people signing the $107,000 - $160,000 checks.

We anchor everything in $107,000 - $160,000, then add mentorship, benefits, and the freedom to flex your full-time schedule around real life.

Live in Los Angeles, CA as of this hour, with reviews ongoing.
