Software Engineer (Flexible/Remote)

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.
By fundamentally reimagining its experience – improving its UX, making it intelligent and collaborative – we can help developers ship better software more quickly.
As a Software Engineer, you will…
Participate in all aspects of software development activities, including design, coding, code review, unit/integration testing, bug fixing, and code/API documentation.
Collaborate closely with the rest of engineering, as well as other stakeholders from our growth, marketing, and product teams, to plan features and build a high quality product that elevates the productivity of all developers.
Improve Warp's performance and reliability by building new features or polishing existing parts of the product.
Work across the entire technical stack to ensure users have the most efficient and delightful experience using Warp. The features you develop will span all aspects of the user experience, making you an expert on what their needs are.
Be a mentor and provide thoughtful feedback to your peers, and build strong personal connections with your teammates!
You are passionate about helping developers get more done — would jump at the chance to work on this particular product
You have amazing engineering chops, but are also product- and user-focused
Bonus:
Building native apps in Rust or WASM
Shell or Linux-programming
Server-side programming in go
OpenGL, WebG, or other graphics programming

At Warp, we are dedicated to building a diverse, inclusive, and authentic workplace. We are a community of curious learners, and most of us are learning some skills for the first time (like our engineers learning to program Warp in Rust). 1) a competitive base salary, and most importantly, 2) meaningful equity.
In addition to salary, all employees receive further compensation in the form of equity in the company. Your equity is where most of the significant upside potential is. Comparing startup equity is always a bit tricky, so we’re happy to walk you through different valuation scenarios at the offer stage in order to help paint a clearer picture of the upside.
Competitive Salary & Meaningful Equity – we will stretch to get the right talent on board

We are a company run by product-first builders, building a core product for all developers. The early team comes from Google, Dropbox, Gem, LinkedIn, and Facebook. We are looking for passionate individuals to join us and help bring Warp to the world.

We’re very fortunate to be backed by a great group of venture capital firms. In August 2023, we announced a $50M Series B funding round ($73M total raised), led by Sequoia Capital. We are also backed by a network of passionate angels, including Dylan Field (Co-Founder and CEO, Figma ), Elad Gil (early investor in Airbnb, Pinterest, Stripe, and Square), Jeff Weiner (Executive Chairman and Ex-CEO, LinkedIn), Marc Benioff (Founder and CEO, Salesforce), and Sam Altman (Co-Founder & CEO, OpenAI).
This is just the start, as our plan is to build out a set of experiences in the terminal that don’t exist today like collaboration, environment sharing, rich data types and more.
To start, our goal is to become the everyday terminal of choice with individual users – immediately usable as a backwards-compatible terminal replacement with the developer’s shell of choice. These features will invite users to share their work with others, driving growth and encouraging collaboration. We’ll also focus on building a community and an ecosystem of terminal plugins and apps, creating network effects.
These larger enterprise plans will be the ultimate driver of revenue, along with potential distribution deals for companies that see CLI integrations as a way to reach new customers.
A couple college students, totally unprompted, wrote a piece on why new students should work at Warp as part of their new newsletter they are launching called "Why You Should Join."
