Our Specialized Intelligence platform automatically captures how work happens and turns it into a living asset for people and AI agents.
We're growing fast. Since our founding in 2019, we've reached 7 million users across 600,000 businesses. Based in San Francisco, we're a LinkedIn Top Startup, valued at over $1B, and backed by leading investors. Join us in our mission to transform how people work.
About the role
As a Senior Backend Engineer, you'll own a product area end to end, from design through the results after launch. You'll be matched to one of four teams during the interview process, based on business needs and your background:
- Agents – AI assistants and in-app guidance that help people finish tasks inside the software they use, including a new desktop AI work hub
- Docs – Our core product for automated document generation and viewing, relied on by millions of users
- Growth – Signup, onboarding, checkout, billing, seats and SSO, helping people find Scribe, see its value fast, and grow their plan
- Optimize – The AI-driven intelligence layer that helps enterprises understand, measure and improve how work gets done, turning raw activity into workflow data leaders can trust
What you'll do
- Own projects from design to launch, on established products and new ones
- Work with PMs, designers and other engineers to decide what to build and how
- Contribute to technical discussions, balancing short-term delivery with long-term architecture
- Uphold strong engineering practices: code review, test coverage and observability
- Build fast, accessible UI and own frontend performance
- Work with designers to turn early ideas into shipped products
What we're looking for
- 5+ years building production software at scale
- Product-minded. You care about the user problem as much as the code
- Comfortable with unclear problems and fast change
- Deep JavaScript experience with a modern frontend framework
- Track record improving frontend performance and accessibility
- Nice to have: AI/LLM product experience, startup experience
Why you'll love working here
- The reach of a unicorn, the headcount of a startup. We went from $1M to $100M ARR in under four years, with fewer than 200 people. That means more pie than people: scope grows with your impact. Customers like T-Mobile, LinkedIn, HubSpot, New York Life and Northern Trust run on Scribe, so what you own reaches some of the biggest names in business.
- Hard problems, real impact. Capturing how work actually gets done, at scale, is the foundation AI needs, and it's hard to get right. You'll build the layer other products and agents run on, in a category we're still defining.
- Smart is the floor. Kind is the bar. Low ego, high standards. We compete as a collective and love to see each other win, and One Team, One Dream is one of the most shouted-out values in #values.
