Pull up a chair and join us at Patio! We’re a remote-only company of 10 building out the future of communication and growing quickly. We help colleges and students connect with each other in a safe and welcoming environment, and we've raised from venture investors including Forerunner Ventures (backed Glossier, Hims & Hers, Chime, Warby Parker), Redpoint Ventures (backed Stripe, Snowflake, Nextdoor, Twilio), and Abstract Ventures (backed Popshop, Poparazzi, Rippling, WorkOS). If you love the idea of working at a fast-paced startup on the cutting edge of the consumer social space, come work at Patio!
The backend team is responsible for keeping the GraphQL API (powered by Hasura), PubSub systems, and AWS infrastructure up and running to ensure our users can find new friends, groups, and events every day. We are a team of builders and our work is heavily concentrated on quickly building out new features to bring new functionality to the platform. Some recent and current features include polls, converting our messaging platform to PubSub, and auto-moderation of picture uploads.
Patio is looking for a team lead to bring our backend codebase and infrastructure to the next level. Our backend is just starting many transitions — GCP API endpoints to a dedicated NodeJS API, a single GraphQL to a federated GraphQL API, automated full-stack test suites for our frontend teams, and much more — and we need help from the best. Join us if you would like to be an owner of our backend ecosystem, a catalyst in our developer velocity, and a major contributor to our existing and new services.
