Storyworth (YC W11) | US/Canada | Flexible hours | REMOTE | Full Stack Product Engineer

Storyworth is a meaningful business with a lean team and a big emphasis on work/life balance. We’re looking for experienced, full-stack engineers with strong product skills who are interested in flexible hours (20-30 hours/week) with good pay.

Storyworth helps people record their family stories and print them in beautiful hardcover books. We’re profitable with no need to fundraise. We’re a small team by choice, with low overhead and few meetings. Everyone is remote and works flexible hours, including our leadership team.

We’re hiring a couple of engineers who enjoy building products end to end, from the UI to the database query. We’re looking for optimistic, self-motivated people, who value working at the top of their craft AND having time for the other things they care about. Our stack is Python (Tornado), Mongo, Svelte and Tailwind.

We rarely have open roles, so if this sounds interesting, please read the full role description and follow the instructions to apply:

I'm a friend of Nick's and have been following Storyworth for like 10 years.

This is a great opportunity for a product engineer that has kids, a life, a band, or something like that.

It's not "you have a 0.01% chance of becoming a billionaire" but "you have a 100% chance of making a great living doing work that's meaningful with good people".

I tried to be a customer, but alas the family member who I bought it for was reluctant to revisit her childhood. Some traumatic memories she preferred to leave behind.

Storyworth was very understanding and refunded me promptly, which I appreciated. Definitely seems like a great company.

Thanks for the kind comment. While I'm sorry that the service wasn't the right fit for your family member, I'm glad that our support team handled it gracefully.

I did this with my Mom and really enjoyed it! Learned a lot.

I also applied for this role. ;) I love that you're using Svelte!

Huh I was not expecting to find something that matched the work environment I was looking for, so much gung-ho mania out there. A couple of my friends worked at Wonderbly, which at first glance looks to be a similar business model & is similarly swell in terms of culture & ethics. I'll shoot over an application.
