Silkline Engineering Opportunity
At Silkline, we have a bold mission - bring transparency and reliability to global supply chains. We are starting by building the modern operating system for procurement, helping businesses understand their supply networks and adapt to disruption. Silkline is a seed-stage tech startup backed by top venture investors. This past year, we have grown our customer base 5x, and we are looking to grow rapidly. Join us on the ground floor as we scale our product offering and customer base.
As an early engineer, you will play a critical role in setting Silkline's technical direction. You will be hands-on, building our early product and talking directly with our initial customers and users. From the start, it is critical that you can build a 0-1 product with great UI/UX. As we grow, you will own and lead the architectural roadmap that will lay the foundation for the Silkline platform. Your technical leadership will be a key factor in supporting and growing our engineering and product teams. You need to be both strategic and tactical. We are seeking a builder to develop our product specs and front-end components into an enterprise-ready application. We are also looking for a self-starter, not afraid to get their hands dirty and rapidly iterate on prototypes early in the development lifecycle. An ability to handle ambiguity is a must. We need a top-tier team to help build a platform that will fundamentally change and improve supply chain networks.
