San Francisco, California, United States Complete Full time
About Complete

Complete is a cutting-edge company that's revolutionizing the way companies approach compensation. We're on a mission to make compensation a winning advantage for the world's highest-impact companies.

We're breaking compensation workflows out from spreadsheets and bringing them into the 21st century. Our platform offers leveling and compensation cycle planning, total rewards statements for employees, interactive candidate offers, and much more.

Why Choose Complete?

We believe that companies with creative compensation strategies do and will continue to win. Our customers include highly impactful startups like Render, Vercel, Brex, Linear, and Cortex, all the way to world-class enterprises like Roblox.

Complete is backed by Accel and YC, and we're lucky to count technology leaders and operators like Will Larson (CTO of Carta), Eric Sagar (COO of Plaid), and Mathilde Collin (CEO of Front) as our angels and/or advisors.

Our Culture

We're a product-minded team that obsesses over quality. We believe that software built in the 21st century should not require product trainings. Our culture is best described as low ego and painstakingly fast. We're a small team of 5 with exceptional product and business acumen.

We're looking for a Senior/Staff Backend Engineer to help us scale to a $XXM+ in ARR. You'll be a great fit if you like to move with urgency and high agency. We're engineers and builders obsessed with customer outcomes and love challenging the status quo.

Responsibilities
  1. Ownership: We need experienced engineers who can own and grow entire lines of businesses end-to-end.
  2. Autonomy: We value autonomy and believe that a small team of highly experienced product engineers can come together to create magic.
  3. Scale: We're scaling to new countries, to X0,000+ users, and to high-profile logos. We're actively winning in the enterprise segment, which means working on deep and interesting problems like revamping our authorization, customizability, observability, security, and so on.
Tech Stack

We believe that engineering productivity has shot up in the past 3-4 years, thanks to excellent platforms that not only support weekend projects, but have the caliber to scale:

  • Python backend (primarily Django) with Postgres
  • Clerk for authentication
  • Merge for integrations with ATS and HRIS systems
  • React frontend
  • Unified GraphQL API
  • Hosted on Render (Services, Workers) and Vercel (Frontend)
  • GitHub, Graphite, Slack, Notion, Linear

We're defining our tech stack as we go, and believe we're still early enough to be too rigid about certain choices. We want YOU to come and help us set our technical vision.

Interview Process

You'll start with a 15-minute call with our Head of Engineering (Anant) to get to know each other better followed by a 45-minute coding screen. We'll bring you in for a half-day onsite + lunch. We're very flexible on the schedule and can do late afternoons/evenings to accommodate your availability.

Here's where it gets interesting: we'll give you an offer, and an option to work with us in the office for anywhere from a day to a full week (depending on your availability) to get a feel of what it'll be like working with us. If you love your first week, you can officially accept your offer.
