software engineers

We’re looking for software engineers who move fast and care about craft, and are interested in joining a small team with end-to-end ownership - you may work on identity/auth, APIs, content systems, database architecture, client UI.

The engineering problems are interesting: graph queries on a relational database, real-time presence, content systems that outlive their feeds.

• Systems programming (C/C++/Rust)
• Relational schema (data modeling, indexing, query design)
• Media pipelines (upload, processing, delivery)
• In-game social systems, chat, community, or UGC products

Not this role: platform engineering, distributed systems, SRE, AI/ML research.

Us:

• Well-capitalized and independent
• Engaged alpha user community
• Small team with opportunity for high impact
• Ambitious Xanadu/Semantic Web inspired product
