Job opening - Software Engineer at Canvas Inc. (New York, NY)

The job title says "Software Engineer" but really we're looking for "Software Entrepreneur" or a "Startup Engineer". Yes, your day job will be writing code. But that's the only similarity to a big company software job.


You'll be challenged to take big ideas and turn them into concrete testable hypotheses. Shipping a great feature is important, but positively changing user behavior is the ultimate success criteria. Built-to-spec takes a backseat to moves-the-metrics.


We ask a lot of our developers, but in exchange we also give a lot:



  • Radical transparency into the business. We go over the finances as a team monthly. Meetings aren't held behind closed doors.

  • A strong voice in product development. Decisions aren't made in a vacuum. Be a key part in building an amazing product.

  • Trust in bottom-up decision making. F! lexibility to build the product you think is right, and let data and rationality settle disagreements. Flexibility to work whenever and however you're most productive.

  • A great working environment including whatever tools you need. Big monitors, whatever hardware setup you want. Lunch catered every day. Sit-stand desks if you're into that kind of thing.
