Droplet builds form and workflow software to automate paper processes and help organizations move faster. If it were the year 2000 we’d say the words “DIGITAL TRANSFORMATION” a bunch. Think of it like a combination of DocuSign, Google Forms, and a workflow engine. We have strong revenue growth with several years of runway and a clear path to profitability.
Droplet engineering is a small but mighty team of eight spread across the United States. We collaborate heavily in Slack, pair programming, and code reviews. We work with designers and customer success to understand user problems and build the right thing. We try to have just enough process to limit the chaos but not not so much that it keeps us from getting stuff done. We value building the right thing well. We iterate on our product, architecture, and skills to get better at all of them. We communicate kindly and clearly in a safe environment.
React, TypeScript, node.js, Postgres, AWS, GitHub, Terraform, and the power of friendship.
We’re describing our perfect candidate. If you’re missing some of these but still interested, talk to us anyway!
- You ship great software to users.
- You have excellent written and verbal communication skills.
- You have five or more years of professional software development experience, with three or more years working with JavaScript and three or more years working with AWS or a comparable cloud environment.
- You have experience working across the web stack, from UI to infrastructure. You don’t need to be an expert with the whole stack, but you should be productive across it.
- You collaborate well with product and design to understand user needs and produce technical designs that meet those needs.
- You help other engineers get better and get more done with technical leadership.
The Interview Process

- One hour interview with Jamison Dance, the head of engineering and hiring manager.
