Bytebase helps developers get their thoughts in order so they can work better and communicate better. We do this with a scratchpad that's fast, structured, actionable, and extensible.
We’re engineers from Twilio and Nextdoor and are backed by Techstars, top pre-seed firms, and the world’s best engineers and eng leaders from Github, Twilio, Slack, PagerDuty, and more.
As an engineer on our founding team, you’ll have a huge impact on the company’s success. You’ll have vast opportunities for career growth, and significant financial upside. You’ll help us shape our culture. And we’ll be tackling fun challenges together in a small group that cares that you’re having a good time.
What you’ll work on
As an engineer at Bytebase, you'll be working on building out the capabilities of our scratchpad. You'll be creating the swiss-army knife that developers around the world will rely on as their daily driver while they go about their day.
The stack (today): Electron, JS, React, MongoDB Realm.
You'll implement full-stack features that help users work with written notes close to the speed of thought.
Bytebase needs to feel blazing fast. You'll get to work on interesting performance challenges to deliver users a delightfully snappy experience.
You'll work on delivering a great experience on desktop, mobile, and web.
You’ll help us build a world-class ecosystem around extensions and workflow automations.
What makes you a great fit
We're looking for:
- full-stack developers who are well versed in React, or eager and motivated to learn
- backend developers who have experience developing APIs at scale, or are eager and motivated to learn
Most importantly, we're looking for people who:
- are excited by the challenges, fast pace, and growth and learning opportunities at a small startup
- want to play a big role in the company’s success
- are effective communicators in a remote-first environment
- like the idea of building a tool that’s fundamental to how we work: the humble scratchpad
About Bytebase
Who we are: Engineers from Twilio and Nextdoor. We're a remote-first team based out of the US. Currently working from Durham (NC), Houston (TX), and San Francisco (CA).
What we do: Bytebase helps developers get their thoughts in order so they can work better and communicate better. We do this with a scratchpad that's fast, structured, actionable, and extensible.
Why it's needed: Today, 90% of engineers use untitled text files and sticky notes to manage their individual work. It's fast but it's a mess and leaves them disorganized, scattered, and underperforming. Bytebase isn't another knowledge base. It's a way to manage your working memory (RAM) as you do your daily work.
Vision: Today, we're creating a scratchpad. Tomorrow we'll enable devs to extend Bytebase via scripts. Devs will create scripts to enrich their notes with context, trigger actions from their notes, surface notes at the right time, and more. They'll share scripts with other devs in our community and ultimately in a marketplace.
In three years from now, when a new dev comes to Bytebase, they'll browse tens of thousands of plug-and-play scripts. They'll search by a developer they admire, JTBD, or integration. Companies will be able to curate the set of scripts that new employees can get started with as part of an enterprise plan.
