Software Engineer (Web SDK)

Storyteller is a high-growth B2B SaaS platform that enables companies to integrate Stories into their apps and websites. They are seeking a Mid Level Software Engineer to join the team responsible for the Web SDK and backend services, focusing on building features, improving performance, and enhancing developer experience using AI tools.

Responsibilities:

• Own features end-to-end: understand the problem, design a simple solution, build it (often with AI assistance), test it, and refine based on feedback
• Improve performance, reliability and developer ergonomics of the Web SDK and supporting services
• Debug tricky issues across the SDK, backend and browser – using logs, metrics and good hypotheses rather than guesswork
• Work with Product and Delivery to understand real customer use-cases and constraints
• Propose simple, pragmatic solutions instead of over-engineering
• Help streamline the integration experience so partners can get to 'first story live' quickly and safely
• Enhance documentation, code examples, and integration guides, often using AI to draft and then editing for clarity
• Identify friction points for integrators and proactively champion improvements
• Make small, continuous DX improvements (tooling, scripts, templates) rather than waiting for a big 'clean-up project'
• Use AI tools by default for exploration, scaffolding and refactors – and then verify outputs with tests, types, and your own judgement
• Use first-principles thinking to cut through complexity: start from the goal and constraints, choose the simplest thing that works, and be willing to delete your own code when a better approach appears
• Participate in thoughtful code reviews: give clear, kind, direct feedback and be open to having your own ideas challenged
• Help improve CI pipelines, test suites and dev scripts so the whole team moves faster and more safely over time
• Maintain high ownership and follow-through from idea to release: surface blockers early, communicate clearly, and finish what you start

Requirements:

• 2–4 years of hands-on experience with TypeScript/JavaScript in production environments
• Strong knowledge of React, Node.js or similar modern frontend frameworks – you're comfortable working across browser and server
• Familiarity with APIs/HTTP, performance tuning, and SQL/NoSQL basics
• A proactive mindset – you look ahead, anticipate problems, and propose solutions instead of waiting to be told what to do
• AI-native working style – you're comfortable adopting new tools early, especially AI-assisted coding, and you see AI as the default starting point rather than a last resort
• Clear reasoning and trade-off thinking – you can explain why you chose one approach over another in simple language
• Strong written and verbal communication for remote collaboration
• Reliability – you deliver on commitments, surface blockers early, and take responsibility for the quality of your work
• Experience building SDKs, libraries or developer tools
• Experience with performance tuning (bundle sizes, loading strategies, caching) in web apps
• Open-source contributions, side projects or technical write-ups that show how you think
• Interest in sports, media or content tech
