Job description

Warp is the AI-native Employee Management Platform for ambitious companies. Our platform includes HRIS, payroll, IT, benefits, tax compliance, and more - all built from scratch on an AI-native architecture from day 1.

Warp embeds itself into every part of a company's people operating layer, we process over half a billion $ annually in payroll, on track to grow to $2B.

Legacy vendors in our space built their businesses by profiting from complexity. Warp is built from day one for AI to be the primary operator, not a feature. Every advance in LLM capability widens our lead.

We hire people who ship constantly, own outcomes, and care about craft. We're in the office five days a week because speed and proximity are a competitive advantage at this stage. If you want to build something that automates an entire category of core work, not just another point solution, this is the place.

We've raised over $85M from top investors like Ashton Kutcher/Sound Ventures, Y Combinator, founders of Dropbox, Replit, SV Angel, and Homebrew Capital. Built by an obsessive team from MIT, Ramp, Brex, Google, Dropbox, Apple, and more.

About the Role

As a Senior Software Engineer on the Product team, you'll take deep ownership of major product areas and drive them forward. You'll make architectural decisions, work directly with customers and leadership to define what gets built, and set the technical standard for the team. This is a high-ownership role at a company where engineers drive outcomes, not just execute tickets.

What You'll Do

• Own significant product surfaces end-to-end, from data model to user interface
• Drive architectural decisions and set technical direction for your areas
• Interface directly with customers and sales to define and prioritize what gets built
• Mentor and elevate other engineers on the team
• Collaborate directly with the CTO and CEO on product strategy
• Help us scale 10x in the next year

You’ll Be Good for This Role If You

• Take extreme ownership of your work and its outcomes
• Are deeply product-minded. You care about the end user, not just the code.
• Can lead technical decisions and bring others along
• Have a track record of shipping impactful features at scale
• Thrive with ambiguity and high velocity

What You Need

• 5+ years of experience building full-stack applications
• Experience leading technical projects across a team
• Strong expertise in modern, strongly typed languages
• Track record of owning features from spec to production
• High agency and strong communication skills
• Willingness to work from our NYC office five days a week

Benefits at Warp:

• 100% Health Coverage: Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision plans for you and your dependents.
• 401(k) Matching: Start investing in your future from day one.
• Unlimited PTO: We offer flexible PTO, meaning you’re trusted to take the time you need to recharge while balancing your responsibilities and team commitments.
• Commuter Benefits: Pre-tax commuter benefits for your daily trip to our NYC office.
• Catered Lunch Daily: Great food, every day, on us. No meal prep, no decision fatigue.
• Quarterly Offsites: Beautiful locations to connect as a team. Past locations include Spain and Catskills.

Warp is based in New York City, and we prioritize candidates who can commit to being on-site 5x per week.
