Job Description

About Warp

Warp is an automated back-office platform for startups.

Warp lets you set up HR, payroll, and tax compliance for your team in just 10 mins. Using AI Agents, we automate all state tax registrations and filings, monitor for compliance across hundreds of tax jurisdictions, enabling founders to never waste time on HR ops ever again.

We have raised $24M from top investors like Y Combinator, A-Star, Elad Gil, Drew Houston (CEO, Dropbox), Arash Ferdowsi (CTO, Dropbox), Balajis, Kyle Vogt (CEO, Cruise Automation) and SV Angel.

Some of the fastest growing startups today already run on Warp. We are growing quickly, and are on track to be processing $1BN in payroll transactions annually by end of 2025. 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. You will be focused on ensuring that our products are bulletproof and our code is well-written while we move fast and scale faster.

As a Backend Engineer at Warp, you will:

  • Build performant, reliable, and fault-tolerant systems capable of processing billions of dollars globally from the ground up

  • Help us scale 10x in the next year

  • Have ownership as we redesign our tech stack

  • Collaborate directly with the CTO and CEO

  • Be willing to live in New York City and be able to work regularly out of our office in SoHo

You will be good for this role if you:

  • Love programming and obsess over details

  • Are product-minded with an emphasis on end-user experience

  • Have shipped libraries or services that many users rely on

  • Understand payments infrastructure and its unique challenges

To succeed in this role, you need:

  • Experience designing, building, testing, and collaborating in complex codebases

  • Knowledge of modern infrastructure and deployment methods

  • Strong expertise in any modern programming language, especially strongly typed ones

  • High agency and the ability to figure things out

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.
