Remote job description

About Double

Double is a flexible assistant service for busy executives. We help CEOs and their teams save time and focus on what they do best, by matching them with a dedicated remote assistant. Double provides the tools and methods to make delegation and task management effortless, so executives and assistants are always in sync. We help our clients with a wide range of tasks, like scheduling, travel, inbox management, administrative tasks, personal tasks, and much more!

We started in April 2018, and our latest Series A fundraising of $8.5M in October 2021 places us among the most dynamic players in productivity. We grew 4x in the last year, and are now looking for an exceptional Full-stack Software Engineer to join our team.

On the product front, we've built a software ecosystem that includes apps for Web, iPhone and Chrome, for both assistants and executives. Our product mission is to help CEOs become better executives by providing the platform to efficiently communicate, manage tasks, improve their delegation skills, and build the best relationship with their assistant.

Internally, we've created custom tools and dashboards to empower our Operations and Customer Success organizations to scale our business by matching executives with assistants and keeping our customers happy and engaged.

Let's build the future of delegation together!

You will collaborate with Software Engineers, Product Managers, and members of the Operations and Customer Success teams to deliver useful, usable and desirable internal tools and product experiences.

You will also integrate our service with third party client-facing products and APIs, such as Slack, and possibly Zapier or other productivity tools in the future.

Our backend is built with Node, a PostgreSQL DB, Apollo Federation, TypeScript, MongoDB. Our web apps are built with Apollo GraphQL, React Hooks and TypeScript. We also build a native iOS app in Swift (UIKit and SwiftUI).
