About you:

You are a person who craves impact. You want to leave a (big) dent on the world. You are generally disappointed in the bar held by most people everyday. You feel smarter than everyone around you, yet that doesn’t make you happy – it makes you sad that you aren’t being pushed to think hard enough. You drive towards simplicity and expect others to do the same.

What does the role look like?

The customer you are building for should be thought of as other client-side developers on our team consuming our API.

• Build beautiful, fast, polished APIs across the Whop backend
• Create primitive APIs that are used by internal and external developers
• Create patterns, prompts, and internal tools to create leverage for other developers on the team
• Work closely with founders and designers to turn vision into clean architected systems
• Prototype quickly, ship fast, and care about the details
• Write clean queries, intuitive function names, and easy to understand responses
• Delete shit that is outdated and no longer used
• Come up with reusable architecture patterns that can make us move faster later
