Description For Senior Software Engineer

Coast is revolutionizing how API-first companies showcase their products to customers. As a Senior Software Engineer, you'll join a lean, fast-moving team building the backbone of technical sales. This role offers a unique opportunity to work directly with founders while contributing to the entire tech stack.

You'll be responsible for architecting and developing complex frontend systems, obsessing over UI/UX for onboarding and API integrations, and collaborating on roadmap prioritization. The ideal candidate combines strong technical expertise with design thinking skills, as the platform's visual aspects are crucial.

The tech stack includes React and React Native for Web on the frontend, with Node.js, Express, and MongoDB powering the backend. You'll work in-person at our NYC office alongside a team trusted by industry leaders like Twilio, Plaid, FIS, and Zurich Insurance.

We're backed by prestigious investors including Y Combinator, Arash Ferdowsi, Calvin French-Owen, Amjad Masad, and Liquid2. This role offers the chance to shape the future of API demonstrations and technical sales while working with cutting-edge technologies.

The ideal candidate brings 4+ years of engineering experience with React and JavaScript, strong design sensibilities, and the ability to architect complex frontend systems. You should be passionate about creating exceptional user experiences and thrive in a fast-paced startup environment where ownership and initiative are valued.

The interview process is thorough but streamlined: starting with an intro call, followed by a product deep dive, hands-on platform access/take-home activity, technical interview, in-person meeting, and reference checks. Join us in transforming how companies showcase and sell their APIs.
