Hi, I’m Chris, Co-founder and CTO at Navattic. At Navattic, we’re building a platform to build interactive product demos. This is a new vertical (we’ve played a substantial role in creating) that is experiencing rapid growth.

I’m excited about this role as designing and building software are two passions of mine. At other organizations, engineering and design are separate entities. At Navattic, you can do both. You’ll help our team ship faster by leading technical designs across the organization and ensure the customer experience is at the forefront. Core responsibilities include development of Navattic’s component library, creation of high-fidelity engineering designs in Tailwind Playground, Stackblitz, or Figma (tool of choice) and development of new features end-to-end (full-stack).

• For this role we are looking for an engineer with years of experience working on advanced projects in Typescript and React. We’re looking for examples of impressive projects you’ve worked on. We hope this engineer will join our team in aiming for and delivering work at an exceptional level of engineering craft.

Examples of what engineers at Navattic have worked on:

• Developed a novel process for serializing and replaying web applications (the core of interactive product demos)
• Built generalized support for serializing web applications across browsers and web technologies that “just works” (we pride ourselves on making this engineering accomplishment feel simple)
• Made strides in improving the performance of downloading and uploading large amounts of resources quickly and efficiently
• Extended our product offering to support interactive demos for desktop and mobile apps
• Built out several custom no-code builders across our platform
• Created the beginning of our engagement platform to surface the value we provide to our customers

We’ve been fortunate to experience impressive growth this past year - in 2022 alone, we’ve exceeded growth targets every quarter, grew to 600+ customers and partnered with top names in the software industry including Elastic, Digital Ocean, Dropbox and Mixpanel. We are well funded by top-tier investors such as Y Combinator, have a lean team, extensive runway, and believe we are early on the product adoption curve.

How we work

Our engineering team is a pint-sized powerhouse that takes pride in tackling ambitious projects while making the hard things seem easy. We come from different backgrounds, but are united by a shared love for building software that people love to use.

• Care deeply about user experience and deliver code that optimize for the short (prioritize getting job done) and long term (sustainable architecture).
• Work autonomously, from a product and technical perspective. Highly motivated to get the job done.
• Deliberate communication and action. We have daily standups and use slack, but prioritize respecting each others time so we can be productive.
• Seek to increase leverage, not team size.

Tech stack

• Typescript
• Next.js / Vercel
• PlanetScale
• GraphQL
• Prisma
• Cloudflare workers

Interview process

Intro call with Neil (CEO), project-based interview (you’ll be compensated for your time), chat with Chris (CTO), chat with other leadership members. Overall we can move quickly - please let us know if you have a tight timeline and we can accommodate.

Benefits
