Software Engineer

General


What we're tackling đŸȘ”


Rundoo exists to improve the marketplace for building materials. There are ~$1,000,000,000,000 of building materials bought every year in the US (a full 5% of US GDP is just transacting materials!), and the vast majority of these transactions happen over the phone or in-person and then live in 40-year-old point-of-sale (POS) systems. We aim to bring all these transactions online, thereby making it safer and more efficient to build.

What we stand for ⭐


The values we hold most dear are learning and growth through candid feedback and frequent experimentation, enjoying our time together, truly empathizing with clients (we've worked at paint stores & lumber yards!), building a diverse team, and hustling to achieve great things as fast as we can.


How we've fundraised 💰


We raised a $2 million round in April 2021 led by Kent Bennett at Bessemer, and including investments from Plug & PlayQuiet Capital, and angels. We raised a $5 million round in July 2022 led by Caitlin Bolnick Rellas at CRV and Kent from Bessemer.


This Role


What you'll achieve with us đŸ„‡


  • You'll iterate on the entire software stack to ship exciting new features and fix bugs.
  • You'll work closely with product & design stakeholders and talk to our clients to collectively define what we're building.
  • You'll help us execute on those product requirements.


Requirements ✅


  • You enjoy talking to customers and learning about their needs.
  • You collaborate well cross-functionally, especially with designers and product managers
  • You enjoy giving and receiving all types of feedback frequently.
  • You're excited to work in-person at our office in Redwood City. At this early stage, we're all friends and enjoy being together. Even more, we think there's a magic that happens brainstorming around a whiteboard that we've failed to find working remote.


Icing on the cake 🎂


  • You have worked as a software engineer for 2-5 years.
  • You have worked in a fast-paced startup environment.
  • You have written frontend software using React, Redux, and TypeScript.
  • You have written backend software using Go and Postgres.
  • You have familiarity with construction or building materials.


Interview process


  • Intro Call (30 min): Simply for us to get to know one another!
  • Take-Home Project: We believe take-home projects are the interview process most reflective of the day-to-day. Given our belief that someone's "slope" is more important than their "y-intercept", we used to make a different take-home project for every candidate based on what they didn't know. Now, we have a standard take-home project for each candidate.
  • Meet the team (~4 hours): This will consist of
  • Pair Programming (1 hour): Extending the take-home project.
  • Architecture (1 hour): Designing a new solution.
  • Lunch (1 hour): A meal eaten around the middle of the day [citation].
  • Culture (2x30 min): Asking some questions about your past experience.


Logistics


Where we're located đŸ€


Our office address is 370 Convention Way, Redwood City, CA 94063. We're a short walk from downtown Redwood City (including the Caltrain station) and right off the Whipple exit on the 101.


Benefits we provide đŸ©ș 🌼 📈 đŸ’Ș 🚃 📚 🏝 đŸ¶


  • 100% covered health, dental, & vision insurance for you, 50% covered for dependents
  • Lunch provided daily from local restaurants via Forkable.
  • 401k provided via Betterment.
  • Gym membership at Undisputed Gym across the street.
  • Commuter benefits.
