Job Description

Join Substack, a platform dedicated to empowering writers and creators. As a Full Stack Software Engineer on the Activation team, you'll build and test features that attract new readers and creators, helping them succeed and stay engaged. You'll collaborate closely with designers, product thinkers, and users, and have the opportunity to work autonomously. Substack offers a remote work environment, comprehensive health care, generous parental leave, flexible vacation, and various stipends.

  • Concevoir et exécuter des expériences pour améliorer la conversion des inscriptions, l'achèvement de la première action et la rétention des utilisateurs.
  • Développer des fonctionnalités qui aident les écrivains à gagner plus d'argent sur Substack et à trouver un public.
  • Collaborer avec des designers, des écrivains, du personnel de soutien et d'autres pour concevoir et mettre en œuvre des produits.
  • At least 3+ years of software engineering experience
  • Believe in Substack’s mission to build a better business model for writing
  • Hold yourself and others to a high standard when working on production systems
  • Independent and autonomous. We’re too small to micromanage, and expect that every person at the company owns their work and can be a leader
  • Experience at a fast-growing startup or working on a high-performing growth team is not required, but is a plus
  • Take pride in building elegant and delightful product experiences. Substack works best when it gets out of the way so writers can focus on writing and connecting with their readers
  • Enjoy collaboration with a diverse group of thinkers while bringing our own unique experience and background to the team
  • We’re seeking people passionate about enabling independent expression and building a better business model for creators. If you want to see what media, communities, and content can become when unmoored from advertising models, and you have the skills and experience to contribute, we’d love to meet you
