Skylight is a technology startup building the OS of the family. We make Skylight Calendar, the smart calendar loved by millions of families (plus Wired and the Wirecutter). Our latest product is Calendar 2, which just launched to rave reviews.
Our mission is to connect loved ones by creating the world’s simplest products and services that improve family life. Our founders are former venture capitalists and serial entrepreneurs who have scaled this business to $300M+ in annual revenue while being completely bootstrapped and profitable. We get to grow a happy, healthy company focused on making products our customers love without investors breathing down our necks.
About the Role:
Our ideal candidate is a seasoned full stack engineer with deep experience in building reliable, delightful customer experiences, and a passion for creating products that make life easier. You know how to design and maintain robust APIs, integrate with third parties, streamline a customer workflow, and track down a pernicious bug.
In this role you'll work closely with both Customer Success and Engineering to identify and address common customer pain points, as well as improve the internal tools and systems used by our CS team. We're looking for someone who loves finding simple, straightforward technical solutions to complex problems.
Experience with our stack (Ruby on Rails, Typescript, React/React Native) is important, and our bottom-line requirements are simple: a strong engineering foundation, a desire to meaningfully improve core systems, and a commitment to delivering exceptional outcomes for our customers.

You have a track record of implementing, testing, and maintaining reliable backend services, as well as owning projects end to end
You’re passionate about improving the customer experience in ways big and small, whether that’s by fixing a bug or overhauling an entire flow
You’re a first-rate communicator in both code and human language, contributing to deep technical discussions across team and tech stack boundaries
You work closely with non-technical stakeholders to design and build features that make customers’ eyes light up and keep our bootstrapped business humming
You’re great at figuring out how systems can work better and love having the autonomy to leave things better than you found them
