Founding Engineer

Structured is revolutionizing how developers build and deploy data apps by consolidating the entire analytics stack into code. As a YC-backed startup founded in 2023, they're building on trends like local-first development and in-process data querying to create a lightweight SDK that transforms how data applications are built and deployed.

The Founding Engineer role offers a unique opportunity to work directly with the founders to shape not just the product, but the entire company and category. The position is perfect for someone who combines technical expertise with product thinking and can handle everything from core SDK development to creating intuitive UI components.

The tech stack includes Python, Typescript, Next.js, React, and Postgres, with deployment on AWS/GCP. You'll be tackling challenging problems in real-time data sync, cloud deployments, and scaling applications for production environments. The role involves creating tools for data ingestion, transformation, and visualization, while ensuring they're both powerful and user-friendly.

What makes this opportunity special is the chance to join a team of ex-Meta engineers who are passionate about developer tools, backed by prestigious investors like YC and General Catalyst. As an early team member, you'll receive significant equity and have a direct impact on the company's direction. The position offers competitive compensation ($120K-$150K) and the flexibility of remote work, though the company is based in San Francisco.

If you're ambitious, scrappy, and deeply care about creating exceptional developer experiences, this role offers the perfect blend of technical challenges, ownership, and potential for massive impact in reshaping how data applications are built.
