Company mission
Bubble's mission is to erase the distinction between software use and software creation.
Role
Who you are
- 7+ years of professional software engineering experience, with a history of delivering high-impact technical projects
- Strong proficiency with modern frontend frameworks (TypeScript, SolidJS/React, etc.) and the ability to work confidently across the stack
- Deep experience with developer tooling — build systems, bundlers, testing frameworks, package managers, and CI/CD pipelines — and a passion for improving how engineers work day to day
- Proven ability to modernize large, complex codebases, including migrating frameworks, upgrading dependencies, and designing for long-term maintainability
- Experience organizing and leading projects that span multiple engineers, ensuring alignment, execution, and measurable outcomes
- Strong problem-solving skills, balancing pragmatic short-term improvements with strategic, scalable solutions
- Collaborative and clear communicator who partners effectively across teams and mentors engineers at different levels
- Adaptable and curious — you proactively identify inefficiencies, dig into root causes, and design solutions that scale beyond your own team
What the job involves
- The Core Developer Experience (DX) Pod is a new team dedicated to improving the productivity, quality, and satisfaction of engineers working on Bubble’s core product and monolith
- Our mission is to modernize the developer environment, reduce friction in day-to-day workflows, and unlock sustainable long-term velocity for the entire Core org
- We focus on the pre-deployment developer experience, with an emphasis on frontend-heavy improvements in the near term
- Our work includes upgrading tooling and libraries, migrating off deprecated frameworks, strengthening support for our internal design system, speeding up testing and bundling, and addressing technical debt that slows down product delivery
- Some initiatives we drive directly, while others involve building standards, frameworks, and example implementations that empower other Core teams to adopt best practices
- By enabling engineers to work faster and with more confidence, the DX Pod creates leverage across the organization and ensures that Bubble’s engineering culture can scale as our product and customer base grow
- As a Senior Software Engineer on the Developer Experience Pod, you’ll lead technical projects that improve how engineers build, test, and ship code at Bubble
- You’ll take ownership of complex initiatives, from shaping technical designs through execution, and ensure they deliver measurable improvements to developer velocity, performance, or satisfaction
- You’ll work closely with the pod’s technical lead and engineering manager to prioritize initiatives, and collaborate with other Core teams to roll out changes that scale beyond the pod itself
- This role is hands-on but also highly collaborative: you’ll mentor teammates, set standards for high-quality code and maintainable architectures, and help establish best practices that raise the bar across Core engineering
- You'll be migrating off legacy frameworks and introducing modern frontend tooling
- Upgrading shared libraries and improving support for our internal design system
- Reducing test suite runtime and improving reliability of developer-facing tests
- Optimizing the local development loop, including build, bundling, and hot reload times
- Investigating and resolving sources of frontend performance regressions in the Editor
- Defining standards and building frameworks that other Core teams can adopt to increase consistency and speed
- Our tech stack:
- Frontend: Typescript, SolidJS
- Backend: Typescript, Node.js, Rust, Redis, Postgres, TimescaleDB
- Infrastructure: AWS - CDK / Terraform / Lambda, Kafka, ECS, Typescript, Elastic
Our take
More people than ever are interested in starting a digital product business such as a SaaS, social network or marketplace, but getting started is tough. Creating tangible proof-of-concept products generally requires software development skills, and without experience in coding, this usually results in expensive programmer hires.
Bubble provides a no-code software development platform, allowing its users to build SaaS apps, dashboards, CRMs, marketplaces, social networks, and other web or mobile-based software applications without coding experience. The platform allows users to navigate prototyping, launch, collaborative iterative development, and unlimited scaling through simple drag-and-drop interfaces, allowing anyone to develop software without the need for programming experience.
No-code software development startups have been growing in popularity and this undeniably presents significant competition for Bubble, but its all-in-one approach to design, functionality, and management gives them a cutting edge over similar niche-focussed alternatives. The company claims that through its platform, businesses can launch and develop products at a much faster rate due to increased accessibility to software development, without the need for expensive hires and infrastructure.
