Junior Full Stack Engineer

Tonk • Full-time • Remote (United Kingdom) • 14m ago

About Tonk --- Tonk is a venture-backed, London-based startup. This is a chance to join us on the ground floor as we race towards product-market fit. The product: a next-generation backend that helps people use AI to build & share applets that integrate with their data and embed into their daily life. The progress: strong early traction with developers & partners; we have the capital, talent and relationships to propel us at speed. Our CTO is a world-class applied cryptographer & distributed systems engineer who’s uniquely able to deliver on our vision. The vision: the product is our latest step in building a new and better internet that’s more open and less platform-centric, where AI is helpful rather than spooky, and where more people have more creative power to shape software to their idiosyncratic, organic contexts. The team: multidisciplinary - we’ve started & exited successful startups, worked in the heart of Silicon Valley, graduated from world-class universities - but we’re creative, with a deep background in dance, theatre and art. We’re backed by top-tier investors. Read more on our website.

The role --- You’ll design, build, and launch core components of the Tonk toolchain:

Work primarily in Typescript & Rust (but you may need to learn new languages as we go)
Architect new features and implement them end-to-end
Build simple & beautiful frontends
Oversee launches
Improve performance & reliability
Gather feedback and prioritise improvements

But as in any startup, your work won’t just be writing code - you’ll be:

Ideating in the weeds, working closely with users & founders
Becoming expert in new domains at speed
Driving outcomes through the creative chaos of an early stage project
Travelling the world and growing your network

What we’re looking for ---

Technical requirements

Strong foundations in computer science — through a degree, rigorous self-study, or equivalent experience.
Evidence of working across the stack, from frontend to backend to infrastructure.
Proficient in Typescript and React.

Traits You’ll have an unusual level of drive, for example:

You ship full-stack apps on weekends just because you thought of them in the shower.
You run a newly compiled linux partition on your computer every other week.
Your issue on a major open-source repository turned into a month long project.
You lead and/or participate in a local technology meetup of students and hackers.
You are competitive ballroom dancer and know every type of card shuffle by heart.
You hacked into your printer so you could play DOOM on the display.

You’ll be an “always-on” learner:

You’ll be constantly acquiring or growing your skills and knowledge.
You’ll be constantly reflecting on, and improving your learning process.
