A SaaS startup founded in April 2020.
What’s the opportunity?
Are you a backend developer looking to fast-track your learning and growth? Have you looked at world-class products like Asana, Notion, or Airtable, and felt “I wish I were part of the early team that built these products”?

Some of the tech problems you get to work on as a backend engineer would be to build the backend for a modern spreadsheet experience from scratch, work on infra as code, write robust code that is fault-tolerant, work on performant code that adheres to SLOs set by the organization.
