Sequin

Integrating with third-party platforms has looked the same for the past 15+ years: shuffling data across bespoke and limited JSON APIs. Want to help change that?

At Sequin, we're working hard to change how developers integrate with APIs. Instead of having to learn the ins-and-outs of a third-party API to access their data, developers use us to sync SaaS data with their database in real-time instead.

If you join us, you'll be an early team member that will help shape:

1. Our culture
2. Our product
3. Our engineering practices

You

We're searching for engineers to join our founding team on the journey. These engineers are a special breed: entrepreneurial self-starter. Ambitious. Creative. Optimistic. Energetic. High-integrity.

Experience is important, but we care most about raw horsepower. This will be a high-growth ride for all of us.

Our founding Fullstack Engineer will ship end-to-end, customer-facing features. You'll see a feature through, from inception, to design, to implementation, to telling our customers about it.

Engineers on the team today:

• Work in Elixir/Phoenix (back-end) and TypeScript/React/Tailwind (front-end).
• Are self-starters who like to be left to autonomously figure out solution to their challenges.
• Are naturally curious and enjoy stepping in to learn something they don't have experience in.
• Read about programming in their free time.
• Have a ship-it attitude and a willingness to iterate to the right solution as opposed to build it perfectly upfront.
• Are optimists.
• Value clear, frequent communication (we do a lot of reading & writing)

Skills & Experience

• 5+ years of working full-time as a software engineer
• Experience with React.
• Experience working in the front-end and building the APIs necessary to power that front-end.
• [Preferred] Functional programming experience.
• [Preferred] Experience working with a designer.
• [Bonus] Have lead a cross-functional team to build customer-facing features.

Challenges we wish to work on

• Create and manage local dev databases in our console.
• CLI for generating ORM boilerplate.
• Integrate with companies like Retool to bring our synced databases into their platforms.
• Tools for monitoring and visualizing your sync processes.
• Meter-based pricing (along with free tier).
• Ability to write and test functions or transforms of your schema.
