At Gigs, we're building the operating system for mobile services—a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly.
Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity—bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity.
Our team of around 150 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. As one of the fastest-growing tech companies, bringing together early-stage engineers, product builders, and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify. We’re tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless.
If you’re driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, we’d love to hear from you.
We are building in a highly complex space and tackling a massive problem. We want people who lean in when things get hard.
Our job is solid software engineering, not hype engineering. Carrier APIs differ a lot across countries, providers and regulatory regimes. Provisioning, porting, and eSIM lifecycle management happen in real-time with hard SLA requirements. Every one of those states surfaces to a user somewhere: a customer checking if their eSIM activated, an ops agent watching a port stall, a developer reading our dashboard to debug an integration. When the backend gets it right but the front end hides it, we've built nothing.
Ours is a world where decades-old carrier protocols meet eSIMs, IoT, satellite connectivity, and the road to 6G. We're bridging that gap, making the old world programmable for the new one, and making it legible to the humans who touch it. We're a platform company solving real, durable problems that don't disappear when the hype cycle turns.
Our engineering team is doubling in 2026. We're building out a senior IC track, hiring multiple staff and principal engineers, because the challenges we're solving today only get deeper. New markets, new connectivity paradigms, and interfaces that need to carry real-time state for years, not quarters.
You've seen what good and bad look like in a front-end codebase at scale. You know how a design system rots, how state management turns into a maze, how a dashboard that felt fine at 10 customers falls apart at 500. We want someone who can work across product, design, and backend teams, connecting the dots between an API contract and the screen a user actually sees. Someone who spots UX and architecture problems before they ship, and who builds the patterns other engineers adopt and keep.
Salary Range:
You've seen what good and bad look like. You bring experience of operating at scale, in a codebase or an organization, and you know which front-end patterns hold up under real production pressure. You can work across teams, connecting the technical dots between a backend event and the UI that renders it. You spot domain boundary problems before they become a broken screen in production, and you build the practices that stick.
What We Expect on Day 1 (and in the Interviews)
At Gigs, we value in-person collaboration. We believe the best ideas, decisions, and relationships are built when teams spend meaningful time together, and our culture is designed around that belief. We support flexibility where it makes sense. Some focused work can be done remotely, and not every role or week looks the same. You should expect regular time in one of our hubs, as well as occasional travel for team workshops, customer meetings, and Gigs Republic, our bi-annual company off-site. Our offices are designed to feel like home-inspired workspaces, with plants, thoughtful tools, and small, tight-knit teams that make collaboration feel natural, energizing, and effective.
At Gigs, we believe in rewarding excellence. We offer competitive compensation and stock options because we see you as a true partner in our growth. We also provide stipends for your home office or work setup, a budget for learning and development to fuel your career, and of course, a free phone and international data plan
