$175,000.00/yr - $250,000.00/yr About Type And The Role
Type is an AI-native document editor. Our mission is to help people communicate confidently.
We believe that writing is and will always be the backbone of clear thinking and effective communication, especially in the AI era.
Tools like Type free writers up to do more high-level thinking – exploring more ideas before coming to a conclusion, testing lots of approaches to expressing a message, and arguing with the AI about the oxford comma.
We're backed by Y Combinator and have thousands of customers who love our product.
We're looking for a product-minded software engineer to join our small, formidable team in Brooklyn. Our ideal candidate is high-ownership, low ego, obsessed with their craft, and excited to work at a startup.

Building advanced rich text editing features Working on sync and offline first features using data structures such as CRDTs Building multiplayer features for collaborative editing Building LLM-based writing and editing features that span all levels in the stack Prototyping experimental AI writing and editing workflows
What We're Looking For In You
4+ years of software engineering with focus on complex web applications Proven experience building interaction-heavy applications like editors Strong product intuition for identifying friction points and solving real user problems Obsessive attention to detail and appreciation for the subtle UX elements that make editors feel natural Ability to contribute to product strategy, not just implementation A belief that customer problems come first in all product decisions Strong foundational skills in Computer Science A track record of shipping complex products with excellent user experiences Low ego, high ownership
