**Our company**
Meadow is a contemporary funeral service reshaping an outdated, predatory
industry. Founded from personal experiences by experienced entrepreneurs, we
offer transparent pricing, unmatched hospitality, and personalized memorials
hosted at top venues.
We handle all arrangements online or by phone, making the process easier.
Deathcare today is too expensive and too complicated: our mission is to
transform every aspect to better serve families across America.
We now serve a meaningful share of each of our markets and have secured
significant funding to expand. One of our biggest surprises has been how
powerful and inspiring it is to serve families at their time of need.
### Founding Engineer
We’re looking for a founding engineer to enable Meadow scale over 10x in the
next year. The right candidate is full-stack and product-oriented.
You’ll be a direct partner with design and business owners, and you should
naturally look for the right set of shortcuts to get the right things done
more quickly. Our current stack is [_Supabase_](https://supabase.com/) for
storage, FastAPI microservices deployed on [_Fly.io_](http://Fly.io),
[_Inngest_](https://www.inngest.com/) for building asynchronous workloads,
[_Superblocks_](https://www.superblocks.com/) for internal tooling, and Nextjs
for public-facing applications.
**Our software will have three main focuses areas this year:**
* Creating efficiencies in operations. While what we do is emotional for our customers, our work is highly logistical. Like any on-demand platform, scaling our operations and our [_5-star customer experience_](https://www.meadowmemorials.com/about-us) requires close collaboration between our ops team and engineering.
* Improving marketing and sales. This is a scrappy, growth oriented engineering work, with a lot of room for experimentation in AI. Our standard is unmatched hospitality.
* Developing our consumer facing platform. Have you ever seen a traditional obituary page? We have a vision for rethinking this experience from the ground up in a post-Partiful/PaperlessPost/Apple Pay world.
**Key things we’re looking for:**
* 4-8+ years of experience, with at least 2 years in a startup environment.
* Outcome over code mindset. Your job is to get the job done.
* Great communicator. We have high calibre, adult culture of achievers, and we expect you to be too.
* You have the technical skillset and mindset to own the entire solution - from conception to deployment and maintenance.
### Why Join us?
* Above all, we’re here to support families through one of life’s hardest moments, allowing them to focus on celebrating their loved ones. If that speaks to you, speak to us.
* We have much left to build. But given the market feedback we’re getting and our founding team’s company-building experience, we think we are writing the first chapters of a real success story.
* Experience taking over as _the_ product engineer building on early product-market fit. A role like this molds its owner, but inevitably stretches and grows you as well.
* Competitive salary and equity, and generous health/dental/vision coverage.
