Company mission
Bubble's mission is to erase the distinction between software use and software creation.
Role
Who you are
- 5+ 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
- If you don’t meet all of the qualifications but think you could be a match, we’d still love the chance to review your application
What the job involves
- 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
- 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 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.
