**The Story**
Our founders, Alec and Sajan, started Laylo after watching the music industry get dominated by platforms that owned the fan relationship and rented it back to artists. We're building the infrastructure for the next generation of entertainment: a direct messaging and CRM layer that lets creators own their audience, drop products to them, and drive real revenue without paying a middleman tax.
Today, Laylo is the drop CRM powering some of the biggest names in music, live events, and entertainment. We replace the patchwork of email, SMS, presave, and tour announcement tools with one platform. Over 40,000 creators use Laylo to drop more than $1B in tickets, merch, and music to millions of fans, including artists like Zach Bryan and Sabrina Carpenter, and festivals like Outside Lands.
We're a 24-person team based around the world, profitable, and growing fast. We went through Y Combinator (S20) and are backed by Eldridge, Sony, and other top-tier investors.
As a full stack engineer, writing code and building beautiful user experiences is just one part of your job. You'll also talk to users, get involved with design, and develop your own opinion on what needs to exist in the world. Then you'll move with urgency to make it happen.

### What will you do?
* You'll work with a six person product team to build mission-critical tools for creators.
* As one of our first engineers, you'll build entirely new products from scratch and make important architectural decisions.
* You'll be responsible for planning, organizing, and executing entire projects end to end, from idea to launch. To do so, you'll have to work closely with design, operations, and (of course) creators.
* You'll help build the foundation for Laylo engineering standards, tooling, and processes.
* Creators are the most visual people on the planet -- you'll build a user experience that is both visually stunning and easy-to-use.
* As we grow, we'll build up an engineering team around you.
### Requirements:
* Experience with: React, Node.js, Typescript, GraphQL, AWS Services (EC2, S3, Lambda), Claude Code, Cursor
### We're looking for someone who:
* Cares about culture and wants to build something meaningful. The tools we create will empower the next generation of entrepreneurs, and we take that responsibility seriously.
* Enjoys all aspects of building a product from scratch. You love talking to customers just as much as making technical decisions.
* Understands the importance of both speed and quality, and the trade-offs of choosing one over the other.
* Has 3+ years experience with frontend development, preferably with hands-on experience with React, Typescript, and Graphql
* Wants to join a tight-knit team -- we work on solutions as a whole engineering team. If you love working on the end-to-end product experience, you'll love working here.
### Other Roles:
If this role isn’t a fit for you but you’d like to work with us, find all of our open roles [here](https://www.notion.so/Careers-Laylo-2ec9dd8c363e4d36b0dd20c736131606).
### About Us:
Our founders met while building competing consumer startups. We’ve launched multiple products across consumer and SaaS and talked to thousands of fans and creators in the process. In 2020, we realized one of the biggest pain points creators and brands have is building high conversion drop experiences and engaging with their fans.
We went through Y Combinator in summer 2020 while building that new product and after seeing really strong early traction, raised our seed round in mid 2021.
Right now we're a small team that's mostly based in Los Angeles but working from remotely with other team members in various states. We're open to hiring remotely (in North America), but expect to find an office in Los Angeles at some point TBD.
We have a strong written documentation culture, leveraging Notion to share ideas and record processes and learnings. We try to do as much as possible asynchronously to move quickly and efficiently. We have a daily 30 minute standup and operate across Slack, Notion & Figma.
Visa sponsorship is not available for this role.
