## About the role

Build frontend and backend (and sometimes mobile) features that help creators manage their communities, and users connect more deeply within these communities. Collaborate with designers, writers, support staff, and many others. From product concept and research to implementation and deployment, we expect you to own your work and operate autonomously.

## What they're looking for

- At least 7+ years of software engineering experience
- Independent and autonomous. We’re too small to micromanage, and expect that every person at the company owns their work and can be a leader
- Hold yourself and others to a high standard when working on production systems
- Take pride in building elegant and delightful product experiences. Substack works best when it gets out of the way so writers can focus on writing and connecting with their readers
- Enjoy collaboration with a diverse group of thinkers while bringing our own unique experience and background to the team
- Believe in Substack’s mission to build a better business model for writing
