Fullstack Engineer

About Us

A massive shift is taking place within SaaS. Just as perpetual licensing gave way to subscription, subscription is giving way to usage-based pricing. But tying revenue to usage fundamentally changes how every part of the business operates, from billing teams to the C-suite. Turnstile is the modern stack to help companies adopt and scale with usage-based pricing.

We're a small, fully remote, and proven team with strong backing from First Round Capital, prominent usage-based founders and operators, and other top investors. The last company we started, Second Measure, scaled to 70+ people and tens of millions in revenue, received multiple "best places to work" awards, and was ultimately acquired by Bloomberg in a landmark deal.

The Opportunity

As a fullstack engineer at Turnstile, you'll be an integral part of our early team. You'll help lay the technical foundation of our product as we work toward MVP and product-market fit. Using modern technologies, you'll build critical features while delivering a user experience that delights our customers. You'll help define engineering practices that support a culture of collaboration, authenticity, and excellence. More than that, you'll join a tight-knit team of repeat founders and seasoned operators in shaping the future of SaaS.

In this role, we'll ask you to:

  • Partner with technical founders, design, and product management to create a category-defining product
  • Translate nuanced business concepts into software throughout our stack
  • Be versatile and able to switch gears between frontend and backend engineering
  • Be focused on shipping value with high velocity and ambition

  • You have a minimum of 2 years work experience (full time) working across the stack in a production environment
  • You’ve built frontends using popular UI frameworks (e.g. React, Angular)
  • You’ve built modern APIs using REST or GraphQL
  • You’ve built backends using NodeJS or Flask
  • You’ve excelled in creating visually appealing, user-centric web interfaces for outstanding UX
  • You have a proven track record of maintaining production systems as an on-call operator
  • You'd excel working in a dynamic and high-trust environment alongside an experienced team

Bonus points for experience with:

  • Python and/or Go
  • Code repository management, build systems and CI/CD pipelines
  • Modern storage such as PostgreSQL, DynamoDB or MongoDB
  • Common publicly-available SaaS APIs (e.g. Stripe, Twilio, Segment.io, Docusign, Salesforce)
  • Event-driven architectures: AWS Lambdas, queuing systems, and asynchronous processing
  • Micro-service architectures
