Remote Software Engineer

About the role

The cloud-backed terminal for individuals and teams Warp is modernizing the command line to make it more intuitive, collaborative, and intelligent for developers and teams. We believe there’s an opportunity to build a generational company known for considered, high quality developer products – products developers love rather than tools they tolerate – to displace antiquated developer tools that have mediocre user experiences. The traditional terminal is a prime example of this type of tool having not meaningfully changed in the past 40 years, and is ripe for innovation. By fundamentally reimagining its experience – improving its UX, making it intelligent and collaborative – we can help developers ship better software more quickly. We are looking for outstanding product-focused software engineers who want to work on difficult technical problems with the goal of improving developers’ lives. You’ll be working in Rust and Go with an experienced, kind, and thoughtful team of gifted engineers. For more information on our team and culture, we highly recommend reading our How We Work . ?
