The posting

COME JOIN US AT INTRO

Intro is growing our team of amazing people who are on a mission to give everyone access to anyone, empowering each other to create a better world. Intro started in 2022 by first building a tool for the world’s top founders and experts, enabling their audiences from all over the world to be able to access them, jump on a live video call, and get personalized advice. We were (and still are) grateful to see that it was an INSTANT hit.

Today, we have over 20k five star ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ reviews, and the founders of Reddit, Zillow, Sweetgreen, DryBar, and 1k+ more all became partners, as well as advocates of our product, company, and mission. We then launched a marketplace, chat, subscriptions, and more, each leading to faster growth.

We’re just getting started — the Intro of tomorrow will look very different than the Intro of today. In fact, we’re confident that Intro will become the go-to network for access, knowledge, and…(we can’t say the last part just yet), all over the world.

If you’re interested in joining an amazing company that is growing (fast), loved by its users, and deeply cares about quality, we’d love to meet you.

TEAM

Hey everyone! it’s Raad, CEO at Intro 👋

Our team is world-class. It’s the best team I’ve ever worked with because everyone here is (1) a good person who cares about the mission (2) they’re functionally great at their craft, and (3) they help each other out! It’s a very no-drama type of place which is what happens when everyone is really good at what they do.

In their past careers, people on our team helped create or build major products like QuickBooks Online, Uber Eats, Calm, and more. We love working on BIG problems for a LOT of people and believe that Intro will be the most impactful yet.

Role Overview:

We are looking for a Senior/Staff level Backend Engineer to design, build, and maintain scalable backend systems that power our product. You will work closely with cross-functional teams to deliver robust and reliable solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

- Design and implement backend services and APIs that are scalable, reliable, and secure.

- Collaborate with frontend engineers, product managers, and designers to define and build new features.

- Optimize performance and scalability of the backend systems.

- Write clean, maintainable, and well-documented code.

- Conduct code reviews, provide feedback, and mentor junior engineers.

- Identify technical debt and provide recommendations for improvements.

What We're Looking For:

- 5+ years of experience in backend development.

- Strong experience with Go, or similar backend languages.

- Expertise in RESTful APIs.

- Experience building ecommerce / payment systems.

- Proficiency in SQL databases (e.g., PostgreSQL).

- Familiarity with cloud platforms like AWS, GCP, or Azure.

- Experience with CI/CD pipelines and test automation.

- Excellent problem-solving skills and attention to detail.

- Strong communication and collaboration skills.

- Extensive experience using AI Agents and AI tools.

- Reliably able to ship bug free code.

OUR INVESTORS

We’re backed by Andreessen Horowitz (A16Z), 776, Alexis Ohanian (founder of Reddit), Tiffany Haddish, Kevin Durant, and a group of world-class investors.

COMPANY VALUES

- Impress the customer

- Be successful as a company

- Be creative, inventive, and scrappy

- Keep it simple and execute

- Take a moment to understand others

- Feedback should make us stronger, not weaker

- Ideas are important. Execution is 10x more important.

- Stay grateful

WHY WORK WITH US?

On your first day, we’ll do a few exercises to help you identify your life goals. We’ll ask questions like “what do you imagine your life looking like if you achieved all of your goals” and “why are those goals important to you?” Once we identify these, they become our goals and we will work together to help make them a reality.

Next, we’ll ask you about things that matter to you in the short term. These could be things like a gym membership, meditation classes, or an allowance to attend concerts. It’s an open ended exercise and we’ll come up with a perks package that makes you feel valued. Please note, we cannot yet buy you a ticket on a SpaceX rocket. It’s been asked!

Finally, here are the things you’ll definitely get: competitive salary, equity (you become an owner of the business), health insurance, apple equipment, company trips and events, allowances, flexible vacation days, flexible sick days, recharge days, and more.

Note: Certain aspects of compensation, benefits, and the onboarding process may not apply to contract and part-time roles.

Why it works

3×

more interviews than doing it yourself with ChatGPT.

ChatGPT writes a CV and never learns what happened to it. We see every reply. For each CV we know:

  • How it was written, and how the review scored it
  • When we applied, and how long after the posting went up
  • Which posting, which company, which city
  • Who got the interview, and who heard nothing

That is how we know which CVs get called.
