About minware
minware’s aims to eliminate waste from software engineering by helping engineers write less bad code. We do that by analyzing what happens to code after it is written to help people improve the way they work.
Kevin Borders founded minware after bootstrapping his previous company to $86m in revenue and selling in 2021, with the idea of helping others benefit from lessons learned growing an engineering team from 0 to 40.
minware is a self-funded seed-stage company. After promising initial customer traction, we are looking for people who share our values to help bring minware to a larger audience.
The Role
As an early engineer, you will have the unique opportunity to work directly with minware’s founders to build the product from the ground up. We are looking for someone who enjoys operating in the full stack and learning new things, with an emphasis on using React, GraphQL, and Next.js to build the main analytics application.
We are seeking an ambitious and nice senior engineer who has experience independently executing complex projects and building scalable, maintainable software. As a purveyor of developer productivity analytics, we are diligent about process efficiency and code quality. Though we are small, we try to avoid unnecessarily creating technical debt and are looking for someone who can lead us toward this goal.
