The role

Pocket is building a category-defining platform for ambient intelligence. We need an engineer who can work across backend + frontend to ship the highest-leverage product and growth improvements - whatever moves the needle.### **What you'll own*** End-to-end projects: instrumentation → backend services → web/app UI → rollout & iteration.* Build and iterate on user-facing product features (activation, retention, paid conversion, core UX).* Design, implement, and scale backend systems: APIs, data models, pipelines, jobs, reliability.* Improve frontend surfaces where it matters (web product, internal tools, landing pages, onboarding flows).* Drive experiments: set hypotheses, ship fast, measure results, and harden what works.* Work closely with design, product, marketing, and support - and help unblock them with code.**What success looks like*** Shipped features/experiments that measurably improve activation/retention/revenue.* Reliable systems with clear observability (logs/metrics/traces) and pragmatic correctness.* Clean, simple architecture that stays fast to iterate on as the product evolves.* High ownership: you proactively find the most important problems and solve them.### **What we're looking for*** Have strong backend fundamentals (APIs, DBs, async jobs, caching, performance, reliability).* Can comfortably ship frontend changes (React/TypeScript or similar), even if it’s not your “main thing.”* Care deeply about product outcomes and can translate ambiguity into shipped work.* Prefer shipping and learning over long debates; you can move quickly without breaking things.* 6–10+ years of experience shipping production software (startup pace preferred).**What we care about most*** Performance and reliability by default: profiling, latency budgets, graceful degradation, and pragmatic correctness.**Nice-to-haves*** Experience running experiments / analytics instrumentation (events, funnels, cohorts).* Experience building internal tools that make teams faster.* Startup / zero-to-one experience.**Our stack (today)*** Mobile: Flutter* Frontend: React (TypeScript)* Backend: Go + Node* Data: Postgres + Redis### **What we offer*** Work directly with us and learn fast* Direct impact on how the company operates day to day* High-trust, high-responsibility environment* Competitive compensation
