Responsibilities
• Build out Substack’s platforms to scale with growing traffic and a multitude of services to support writer and reader communities.
• Partner with engineers and other stakeholders to design resilient and responsive systems.
• Contribute to the whole product process in collaboration with designers, writers, support staff, and others. From product concept and research to implementation and deployment, we expect you to own your work and deliver high-quality solutions.

• Hold yourself and others to a high standard when working on production systems.
• Take pride in building elegant and delightful product experiences. Substack works best when it gets out of the way so writers can focus on writing and connecting with their readers.
