Senior Software Engineer, Core Editor

Job description

We built Bubble with a clear mission in mind: to empower everyone to create software.

We believe anyone with an idea should be able to build it, so we’re making software creation accessible to everyone.

Our AI visual development platform enables anyone, whether they’re first-time entrepreneurs or enterprise teams, to take an idea from prompt to fully-functional, scalable reality across web, iOS, and Android — all on one platform, all without writing or managing a single line of code.
As the only full-stack, cross-device no-code platform on the market with over 5 million users in over 100 countries, Bubble is breaking down the barriers to entrepreneurship and innovation across the globe.

What we’ve achieved:

Our product is working, and we are thriving.

Entire VC-backed companies have been built entirely on Bubble.

After finding product market fit and 8 years of bootstrapping, we raised a $100 million Series A and we’re one of the fastest-growing companies in the New York tech ecosystem.
You can build just about anything on Bubble - and our community is living proof.

More than just launching products, people are turning their ideas into real businesses.

Mailead grew a $10k investment in a Bubble product into a $2M valuation, while Faceless.video went from 0 to $1M+ ARR in less than a year, among many other examples .

• Excellent verbal and written communication skills, ability to effectively partner with teammates and managers, and ability to estimate and to commit to timelines and execute priorities

• Alignment with our values, including a desire to empower others, a focus on team and user success over individual achievement, and transparency and willingness to admit mistakes and failures

• Collaborative - You thrive in a team environment, working effectively alongside other engineers.
  
  You are not afraid to ask questions to clarify tasks and objectives, and your collaborative spirit helps drive projects forward.
  
  

• Adaptable and Curious - You are eager to dive into a team with a large scope of work, quickly getting up to speed with new contexts and enjoying the opportunity to be mentored.
  
  Your adaptability makes you an asset when it comes to tackling diverse challenges.
  
  

• Interested in Modernization - You are excited by the challenge of working with and modernizing a legacy codebase.
  
  Your innovative mindset drives you to find creative solutions that enhance our platform’s functionality, making a lasting impact.
