Software Engineer

How DOR Engineers Work

DOR engineers aren't boxed into "their area." They work full-stack across the product, owning everything from problem definition to deployment.

• Contribute across Creator · Community · Growth based on your strengths and the company's current priorities.
• Go beyond building features, shape hypotheses, UX, and data validation.
• Own the experience end-to-end across frontend and backend, all the way to deployment.
• Define problems yourself based on data and VOC, and iterate quickly.
• Use AI coding tools daily to ship faster and more often.
• Work with PO and Product Designer to solve problems and move real user metrics.

What You'll Ship

Depending on your strengths and our current priorities, you'll work across one or more of the product areas below, often several at the same time.

How Our Team Works

• DOR builds what customers want, not what the CEO wants.
• We run 1–2 week iterations: define, hypothesize, build, measure, learn.
• Autonomy and ownership, grounded in data and user voice.
• Engineers aren't spec-implementers. They define problems and create outcomes.
• No squads, one team across the whole product.
• Build fast, validate fast, change direction fast.
