Rockstar is hiring a Senior Software Engineer

About the Role

Join a growing SaaS platform that empowers creators, coaches, and online experts to build and manage thriving digital communities. We’re scaling a live product used by hundreds of paying customers and need an experienced engineer to help evolve both the system and how we build it.

What You’ll Do

  • Collaborate with the team to define and prioritize new features based on user needs and technical impact
  • Write clean, modular, and maintainable code with a strong emphasis on type safety and long-term scalability
  • Design and implement systems that allow AI coding agents to safely and effectively contribute to development
  • Monitor production performance, troubleshoot issues, and work directly with users to resolve bugs

What We’re Looking For

  • Proven experience with TypeScript or other statically typed languages
  • Strong background in React or comparable component-based frontend frameworks
  • Track record of optimizing backend systems and diagnosing performance issues at scale
  • Clear perspective on what makes software intuitive and well-crafted
  • Ability to balance thoughtful architecture with rapid iteration
  • Deep user empathy and a passion for refining user experiences
  • Curiosity and drive to experiment and ship new product ideas

Nice-to-Have

  • Previous startup or founder experience
  • Familiarity with profiling and monitoring Node.js in production environments
  • Experience building real-time web applications

Technology & Environment

Our stack centers on TypeScript, React, and Node.js, with a strong commitment to functional patterns and robust type systems. We’re actively integrating AI agents and agentic configuration to enhance developer velocity. You’ll help shape internal tooling and improve developer experience from the ground up.

Work & Culture

This is a remote-first role requiring at least a 5-hour overlap with New York, NY time. You’ll work autonomously alongside skilled engineers who value ownership, thoughtful abstraction, and responsible innovation. We’re building tools that redefine how creators engage with their audiences—your work will directly shape that vision.
