Founding Fullstack Engineer

About Gigs

At Gigs, we\’re building the operating system for mobile services—a platform that lets tech companies embed global connectivity into their products effortlessly.

Just as Stripe lets any business add a payment button in seconds, Gigs empowers platforms to weave in connectivity—bridging the traditional world of telecom with modern tech. From fintechs launching mobile services to HR platforms offering work phone plans, we automate provisioning and remove telecom complexity.

Our team of around 100 people across the US and Europe, backed by nearly $100 million in funding from Ribbit Capital, Google, and Y Combinator. As one of the fastest-growing tech companies, bringing together early-stage engineers, product builders, and business athletes from companies like Stripe, Airbnb, and Shopify. We’re tackling deep technical and regulatory challenges to make connectivity truly seamless.

If you’re driven by curiosity, creativity, and the chance to shape the future of telecom, we’d love to hear from you.

About the Central Team

Gigs Central is building the modern stack for managing employee phone plans: global, instant, and without telecom legacy. We’re a fast-moving team shipping the first B2B platform that makes issuing and managing phone plans as easy as assigning a SaaS license. We work at the intersection of Telecom, IT, and Ops – integrating with HR systems, device management tools, and carrier APIs.

This is an internal founding team inside a high-velocity company. We move fast, own decisions, and build for a global customer base.

This is not just another engineering job. It’s a chance to own product, infrastructure, and team-building from day one.

The Role

You’ll join as the Staff Full-Stack Engineer for Gigs Central, owning the next chapter of our product’s evolution. The MVP is live and delivering value, now it’s time to turn it into a scalable, category-defining platform.

You’ll work side-by-side with product, design, early customers, and business stakeholders, making foundational technical decisions that shape not just how the product works, but how the team grows around it.

This is a high-impact, high-trust role for someone who wants to build, lead, and leave a mark.

What You Will Do

• Build the platform redefining how companies manage global connectivity for employees.
• Evolve our early codebase into a robust, scalable system with TypeScript, React, Next.js, and cloud-native services.
• Design for scale: multi-tenancy, deep integrations, and fast-growing product scope.
• Partner across design and product to ship clean, user-centric workflows at high speeds.
• Set engineering standards around quality, testing, and operational excellence.
• Define how we build: influence engineering standards, mentor others, and help scale a culture of technical excellence

What We Are Looking For

• You have 8+ years of experience building and shipping apps with React, TypeScript, and Next.js – used daily by real customers.
• You iteratively build minimum lovable products, not just viable ones, that work flawlessly, feel coherent, and are loved by users.
• You’re comfortable working across the stack – from designing data models and APIs to building top user interfaces.
• You\’re fluent with RESTful APIs, worked with Docker, GCP, GitHub Actions, Cypress, or Testing Library. Working with git is natural for you.
• You’re pragmatic. You focus on clarity, fast iteration, and real-world outcomes.
• You thrive in early-stage chaos. You’re comfortable with shifting priorities, limited structure, and solving real problems without perfect specs.

Bonus Points If:

• You have startup or founding experience and have owned outcomes end-to-end.
• You have some experience working with Ruby.
• You have leadership experience.

Before You Apply…

The truth is, what we\’re building isn\’t easy. We expect a lot, and operate with urgency and ownership. This won’t be the right place for everyone, and that’s okay.

This role probably isn\’t a fit if:

• You need a lot of structure, or layers of process to do your best work
• You prefer to specialize narrowly and wait for direction rather than taking initiative
• You’re uncomfortable making decisions with imperfect information or wearing multiple hats
• You’re looking for a “big company” setup — we’re still building many things for the first time

But if you’re excited by the idea of building from zero, working with passion, and leaving your mark on something that matters — we’d love to meet you.
