Company mission
Bubble's mission is to erase the distinction between software use and software creation.
Role
Who you are
- Most qualified candidates will be a current staff/principal engineer, tech lead, engineering manager, or senior engineering manager, with at least 1 year of people management/mentorship experience required
- While no specific technologies are a hard requirement, we value prior experience with React and/or SolidJS, Typescript, and full-stack web development
What the job involves
- As part of the team working on Bubble’s core product, the Bubble Editor, you will help enhance our drag-and-drop interface that empowers users to build and design their applications
- We’re a full stack team, responsible for building everything from accessible user interfaces to database schemas housing entire Bubble applications
- Our current focus includes modernizing the developer interface to support our upcoming mobile product, embedding AI guidance into the editor experience, and reimagining data management for Bubble apps
- The Core team currently consists of two separate pods working across the vast expanse of our Editor product
- Each pod is staffed with its own product and design support and conducts its own agile ceremonies for maximum efficiency
- The two pods come together to collaborate on tough technical challenges and support each other through pair programming, PR review, and technical design discussion
- You’ll be managing the Core: Blue Pod, which currently has seven engineers at various levels in their career
- You will be responsible for each engineer's career growth, ensuring they are progressing towards their goals and love their experience working at Bubble
- You’ll also lead the team, in collaboration with Product and Design, to build complex new features that expand the current capabilities of our Editor
- Speed and quality of delivery – collaborate with Product and Design to build helpful processes that ensure your engineers can build software as efficiently as possible while maintaining a high bar for product quality
- Technical innovation and investment – help us set technical quality standards for our codebase, and ensure the team is making proper debt investments while making progress on product roadmaps
- Career development and hiring – help expand, uplevel, and promote your engineers in an equitable fashion, ensuring every individual has the same opportunity for success
- Cultural development – help build an engineering culture of shared success and shared failure, driving inclusion, equity, and continuous learning
- Problem solving – Help your team work through tricky technical challenges, mentor them, and up level their problem-solving skills
- Strategic collaboration - work closely with product managers, engineering managers, leadership, and senior/staff engineers to align your with other product teams and help deliver results for Bubble as a whole
- For this role, Bubble is currently only considering candidates who are authorized to work in the US and are within the New York City metro area
- Our tech stack:

- 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.
