About the Role:
AngelList is seeking Senior Software Engineers to join one of our core engineering teams. At AngelList, we pride ourselves on having an outsized impact on the industry. Teams are explicitly small and built on mutual respect, high trust, and low management. It's not a fit for everyone, but when there's a fit, it’s one of the most rewarding places to work!
We have other engineering opportunities posted for specific teams, so please just apply to one. Not all roles are posted individually. The team will consider you for all open roles that could be a fit.
You will have the opportunity to:

You are most likely:
- A full-stack generalist (or backend specialist able to work the full stack) with 4+ years of experience building large-scale web applications
- Writing clean, scalable code with significant experience in at least one of the primary programming languages we use here (Ruby and TypeScript)
- Excited to move fast, prioritize, and constantly make critical product decisions
- Comfortable with and curious about working outside of a traditional, narrow engineering role
- A self-starter: you have started something meaningful on your own–a startup, an open-source project, something else
- Deeply passionate about startups (https://venturehacks.com/save-the-world)
