Plasmic (https://www.plasmic.app) is a new visual page/frontend builder that integrates with real-world production codebases.
We are an early-stage startup with a tiny but wonderful distributed team of 8 from Google, Microsoft, Facebook, Dropbox, MIT, Berkeley, including 3 ex-founders with exits and 3 ICPC world finalists. We received outlier funding offers from a number of top VCs like NEA and investors in Figma/Framer.
We have paying customers including a Fortune 500. But it’s still early and we have many challenges ahead!
Plasmic itself is a sprawling application with complex state and interactions, where users can spend hours per session. We face many deep engineering challenges, such as:
- building a robust, performant, and feature-packed design tool on the web
- enabling existing code components to be seamlessly used in the editor
- optimizing for latency in all interactions, even when scaling to large projects
- translating free-form vector graphics from tools like Figma/XD to web standards
- handling dynamic data in the visual editor
We’re looking for one more generalist software engineer to join as a member of the formative team. You would be directly shaping the product and its future direction. You don’t need to be specialized in frontend; more important to us are software engineering foundations and experience.
If this sounds interesting, please get in touch at hiring+hn@plasmic.app. We would love to meet you!
