The super-magical Wi-Fi landline for kids. No screens, no texting, no strangers — just real conversation with Grandma, besties, and contacts you approve. Plug in, twirl that cord, and time-travel to pure voice fun. Backed by Greylock.
About the role
Families meet Tin Can long before they hold one — on a landing page, in a friend’s text with a referral code, in an ad that made them smile. All of it is software. When it works, a family who wanted something better for their kids finds us; when a page breaks mid-campaign or a promised referral credit never arrives, they don’t. We’re looking for a software engineer to own the systems behind how new families find Tin Can and decide to bring one home.
What they're looking for
- 4+ years building and running customer-facing web applications, with real ownership of what you shipped
- Strong TypeScript across the stack — you’ve built and run APIs in production (AWS Lambda, Cloudflare Workers, etc.)
- You’ve built integrations across third-party platforms and think in idempotency and reconciliation, because events arrive twice, arrive late, and bring the same person back under two identities
- You prioritize testability, observability, and reliability
- You’ve built tools for non-engineers so the people closest to a campaign don’t wait on you
- Platform judgment on commerce — what belongs inside Shopify, what belongs in a service you own, and what an integration’s credentials can reach
More about this role
Tin Can is building a safer, simpler way for kids to connect — without smartphones. We’re creating screen-free, delightful devices and services that let families call the people who matter most, free from the noise of today’s digital world.
We’re building a bold, authentic, nostalgic, and kinda quirky brand that resonates with folks who want something simpler & better for their kids than the tech-infused lives we’re currently living (and who have a sense of humor about it).

You’ll run our Shopify storefront, build our referral program, and own the services and APIs underneath both. You’ll build the tooling that lets growth marketers launch their own landing pages, and turn the integrations behind our storefront into systems we can...
