THE PITCH
Slate is where brand social teams create together. Our collaboration features — co-editing, commenting, approvals, and shared workspaces — are what make Slate a team tool, not just an editor. We need a Full Stack Engineer to own and extend the collaboration experience so teams can move faster without stepping on each other's work.
WHAT YOU'LL ACTUALLY DO
OWN THE COLLABORATION FEATURE AREA
- Build and evolve real-time collaboration features: co-editing, presence indicators, commenting, and approval workflows
- Design and build the UI systems that make multi-user workflows feel seamless and intuitive
- Work closely with the design team to ship experiences that handle the complexity of teamwork without feeling complex
BUILD ACROSS THE STACK
- Build the APIs and services that power collaboration — real-time sync, permissions, notifications
- Build the connective tissue between collaboration features and the editor, asset library, and publishing workflows
- Collaborate with the editor team on shared primitives and APIs
- Ensure collaboration features work reliably across different team sizes, permissions, and content types
RAISE THE QUALITY BAR
- Write well-tested, maintainable code in a codebase that's actively growing
- Contribute to frontend architecture decisions across the team
- Mentor junior engineers through code reviews and design discussions
YOU'D BE A GREAT FIT IF
YOU HAVE THE EXPERIENCE:
- 5+ years of engineering experience, with a track record of shipping product across the stack
- Strong TypeScript skills on both frontend and backend (Node.js)
- Angular experience is a plus but not required
- Experience building collaboration features, real-time systems, or multi-user workflows is a strong plus
YOU'VE DONE WORK LIKE THIS BEFORE:
- Built complex, stateful UI features that handle concurrent users and real-time updates
- Worked on commenting systems, approval workflows, or shared workspace features
- Dealt with the UI challenges of presence, conflict resolution, and async communication
YOU WORK THE WAY WE WORK:
- You take ownership of features end-to-end, from design to production
- You care about craft — both in the UI you ship and the code you write
- You use AI tools to move faster and take responsibility for the output
