About Bruno:

Bruno is an open-source, Git-native API client built for developers who prefer local-first workflows, minimal UI, and simplicity. We’re growing fast and looking for an Engineer (SDE3) who loves shipping fast, working with OSS, and helping technical teams thrive.

Background:

This is a full-time, work-from-office role that will work closely with, and report directly to, our Founder.

With over 400,000 monthly active users and a rapidly growing base of paying customers, we are entering a crucial stage of scale. That means building systems, not just software. As we grow from a lean team into a high-performance organization, we are looking for engineers who bring strong technical skills, product sense, and leadership potential.

This role is not just about delivering features. It is about taking ownership, raising the bar, and setting patterns that others will follow. If you are someone who wants to own meaningful parts of the product, influence engineering practices, and grow into a leadership role over time, we would love to meet you.

What you’ll do:

  • Take ownership of complex product and platform features end-to-end, from RFC to rollout.
  • Proactively identify bottlenecks in code, performance, or team process and fix them.
  • Work closely with founders, designers, and customers to ship fast and iterate even faster.
  • Drive engineering culture and excellence: quality, readability, tests, docs, not just output.
  • Balance speed with perfection - make smart trade-offs when things need to move fast.
  • Contribute to team growth through mentorship, code/design reviews, and high-trust collaboration.

About you:

  • Have 5–8 years of experience building and shipping high-quality software in fast-moving teams.
  • Min 3 years of experience with React, Typescript and NodeJS
  • Write code with taste, empathy, and pride - you think about the person reading your code next.
  • Have shipped real products at scale and know what it takes to keep them maintainable.
  • Think like a product engineer: not just “what works,” but “what’s delightful” and “what’s necessary.”
  • Know how to disagree and commit, give and receive feedback, and play for the team.
  • Have side projects, open-source work, or deep dives you’ve pursued just because you care.

Bonus:

  • Active involvement in OSS projects (as a contributor or maintainer)
  • Experience with Electron and Developer tooling technologies
  • Experience navigating the business vs engineering trade-offs that come with startup velocity.
  • Deep familiarity with debugging tools, APIs, or developer-first products.
  • You speak with clarity and purpose, but without ego - prioritizing learning over being right.
