Software Engineer

Job descriptions don't tend to be very helpful. Here's some things you probably care about:
Everybody on the team is smart and down-to-earth. No jerks or egomaniacs. We optimize for talent density—the minimum number of maximally impactful people.
You won’t spend more than 5 hours in scheduled meetings per week on average, including your team’s scheduled huddles. We get most meetings done on Mondays to maximize focus time. We do love pair programming and regularly huddle between individual team members.
As the 4th engineer on the team, you’ll be ~25% of the engineering capacity—a huge potential for impact.
We ship a lot of good stuff quickly. We accomplish this because we expect ownership, a high bar for quality, and are very critical about scope creep.
We’re attempting to solve one of the only remaining truly unsolved problems on the web and we’ve found a wedge to actually do it. The momentum we have with our work makes it fun.
There are things we suck at, things that are broken, fires raging, etc. You need to be comfortable with that and be willing to make Trinsic better, while accepting that a fire might need to keep burning for a bit
We’re an equal opportunity employer and value people from a variety of walks of life. For now, you must be based in North America to be considered for the position.

A little bit about our technical stack

Our team doesn’t specialize yet, so you’ll likely contribute across the stack. Our backend is .NET (C#), frontend is React Typescript, we’re hosted on Azure (very minimal footprint), and use GitHub for hosting code and automating builds/deployments. We’re eager adopters of AI tools to increase our productivity.

A little bit about you

We try to hire people who will do the work of their lives at Trinsic. That person is likely:
A well-rounded software engineer who is primarily interested in solving problems and building a great company. You care about the product as much, or even more, as you care about the code. You like the term “Product Engineer”.
You take responsibility for the product and autonomously come up with solutions to problems. There is no product owner who digests customer requirements for you. You’re a steward of the company’s interests.
You’re able to tackle a fire alone - sometimes you’re stuck and other people might not be available. We’re always there together but being able to resolve issues alone helps move the team forward.
Able to balance the pragmatic short-term needs of the business with the longer term roadmap.
Has experience in early-stage and/or fast-growth startups. Ideally you will have contributed across the stack.
A great asynchronous communicator who is excited to work on a remote team. But, we also like huddling together to tackle some bigger issues as a team, rather than have one person go through a lot of tough work.
Full of ambition and drive to make a dent in the universe. We love former founders and prospective founders (~half our current team are former founders). Past engineers have become founders who’ve collectively raised $15m+ or gone on to places like Coinbase, Palantir, Palo Alto Networks, Flexport, Cloudflare, etc.
Knows they’re going to move the needle for whichever company they join—and therefore is excited about getting above-market equity as part of a competitive comp package. Read more here: 💵Compensation Philosophy.
