And we're just getting started.Backed by Greylock and Y Combinator, fully remote since 2018.As a **Senior Software Engineer** at Postscript, you'll be a high-ownership contributor to one of our core product or platform teams — owning meaningful systems end-to-end, driving technical quality, and helping shape how we build across the organization.
