About Stash:

There have always been platforms, like app stores and consoles, getting in the middle of gamers and game developers (did you know they take 30% commissions on each in-app purchase?). Stash sees a future in which developers can be their own platforms for the first time by delivering excellent direct-to-consumer experiences. We offer game developers a suite of tools that enable them to directly sell to and engage with their players, including web shops, custom game launchers, and payment processing. That way, games can finally interact with their players on their own terms.

Founded by Twitch co-founder Justin Kan, Zynga executive Robin Chan, and Google engineer Dan Borstelmann, building great game experiences and successful companies is in our DNA.

Role Overview:

Stash is looking for an experienced engineer who will not only perform technical tasks and help build our products but facilitate the success of other engineers and through that the entire company. Stash is blessed to have incredibly capable engineers building our products today. We are looking for communicative, humble, and emotionally intelligent engineers to not only work efficiently on their own projects but also help harness the raw power of other engineers to be their most productive selves. One of your jobs will be to hold accountable the other engineering members so that the company can build products for our customers as efficiently as possible and keep momentum up across our product organization.

What sets you apart is your communication and leadership skills. You will work with product and design to not only decide what the engineering team can and should build based on your extensive experience building products, but then hold accountable yourself and your teammates to execute that vision.

This means creating space for solving tech debt, instrumenting and monitoring our infrastructure, ensuring 24/7 response time for our payments infrastructure, ensuring we have smooth project and workstream management, and working with other engineers to ensure that as we scale with our customers, that our engineering teams and our codebase can grow with as few growing pains as possible.

Key Responsibilities:

• Build applications and infrastructure to support product features

• Ensure our infrastructure can and will scale as we grow, and work with other technical leaders to make sure our bases are covered

• Maintain a high degree of autonomy, accountability, and responsibility in our engineering organization

• Interview and hire for new engineering team members

• Define the engineering team’s roadmap in concert with product and design

Preferred Qualifications & Experience:

• BS/MS in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering
