We're growing fast, since our founding in 2019, we've grown to 7 million users across 600,000 businesses. Based in San Francisco, we've been named a LinkedIn Top Startup, are valued at over $1 billion, and are backed by leading investors. Join us in our mission to transform how people do work.

📌 About the Role

This is a net-new senior role on Scribe's Adopt team, where you'll build and ship full-stack features on new product surfaces while keeping what's already live healthy and fast. We just crossed $100M ARR with 6 million daily active users, so the features you ship reach people at real scale from your first weeks. You're a product-minded engineer who takes a problem from idea to production and raises the technical bar for the people around you.

🛠️ What You'll Do

  • Ship full-stack features end to end on new product surfaces, owning them from design through production and the metrics they move
  • Build the Python backend services that power those features and keep them reliable at 6-million-daily-active-user scale
  • Make product calls alongside PM and design, deciding what to build and where to cut scope so the right thing ships quickly
  • Keep existing systems healthy as the product grows, doing the maintenance and reliability work that protects team velocity
  • Set technical direction on the projects you lead, from architecture decisions to how the work gets sequenced
  • Raise the engineering bar around you through code review, design feedback, and the standards you hold

🔍 What We're Looking For

  • You've shipped full-stack features end to end, owning them from problem definition through production rather than just the slice handed to you
  • You write strong backend code in Python and are comfortable working across the whole stack
  • You think like a product person: you push on why a feature matters and what success looks like, and you make scope tradeoffs without being asked
  • You've raised the technical level of a team, whether through architecture, review, or mentoring
  • You move fast and hold a high bar at the same time, which is how we work at Scribe

✨ Nice to have

  • You've built in React or a similar modern frontend framework
  • You've worked at a high-growth startup and are at home with the ambiguity that comes with it
  • You've owned a feature area or product surface, not just individual tickets

🚫 This role is not for you if

  • You want a tightly scoped lane and prefer specs handed to you over shaping what gets built
  • You'd rather go deep on one layer of the stack than own a feature across all of it

📍 Location

Hybrid. Based in San Francisco. We work from the office 3 days per week.

💰 Compensation

Salary varies by location. All full-time employees receive equity in Scribe. Final offers depend on experience and scope.

🎁 Benefits

  • Health, dental, and vision insurance for you and your dependents
  • Flexible paid time off and company holidays
  • 401(k)
  • Paid parental leave
  • Daily catered lunch (SF office)
  • Commuter benefits
  • Home office stipend

At Scribe, we celebrate our differences and are committed to creating a workplace where all employees feel supported and empowered to do their best work. Scribe is proud to be an Equal Opportunity Employer.
