Sidebar | https://sidebar.vc | Front-end or full-stack engineer w/ React expertise| NY, SEA + Remote | Full Time

We’re a VC-backed pre-seed startup building a virtual office that brings back the feel of working with your team. Drop-in voice and video rooms allow you to instantly connect with colleagues, join impromptu hallway conversations, or start a meeting without needing to schedule.

Work-from-home is hard. Employees feel disconnected and miss out on valuable training and mentorship. Slack is all about async, and Zoom doesn’t work for the impromptu/informal conversations that collaboration requires. To make remote work truly viable, we need a platform that puts synchronous, spontaneous communication at its core. Like a mix of Slack, Zoom, and Clubhouse.

We’re looking for an experienced React engineer to help us architect, build, and scale. We’re shipping our alpha for web in a couple of weeks. Later, we’ll be building for desktop and mobile. Our stack is React, MobX, React Native, Ruby on Rails and Electron.

Our founding team is Micah Springut (https://www.linkedin.com/in/micahspringut/) and Justin Faulkner (https://www.linkedin.com/in/justinfaulkner/)

If you join Sidebar, you’ll have the opportunity to: 1) Work remotely forever. 2) Build a great engineering culture. 3) Craft products from the ground up that change the way workplaces communicate.

It’s early days but we can offer a competitive mix of salary and equity. Please contact micah @ sidebar.vc
