In this next phase, we have some amazing infra, engineering, product, and GTM opportunities ahead of us this year, and we are looking for exceptional members to join us for this adventure. About the Role

As a Backend Engineer at Warp, you'll be directly responsible for developing new product features and payroll infrastructure that is fast and reliable.

Working At Warp

This is not going to be a routine 9-5 job. Working with us means having high ownership. You may need to stay up late fixing issues or deploying something urgent. We believe in high craftsmanship, obsessing over details, and giving it our best. And we do that alongside an incredibly driven and top-tier team working in person in NYC. Our team is all based in New York City, and we work 5 days in person at our beautiful office in SoHo. For this role, you'll need to be in person. Remote candidates will not be considered for this role. #J-18808-Ljbffr
