Staff Software Engineer

Planoly
Austin, Texas, United StatesFull-timePosted Aug 26, 2026

About the role

Planoly is a profitable, bootstrapped platform trusted by 30,000+ creators and solopreneurs. We’re nearing the finish line on a ground-up rebuild of the product on a modern TypeScript stack, including a React Native mobile experience. We need a US-based staff engineer who wants to own large surface areas and ship fast with a small, senior team.

What You'll Do

Ship features end-to-end — from database schema and GraphQL resolvers to React components and mobile screens

Build and evolve our shared core: authentication, permissions, notifications, and billing logic that powers every platform

Help complete and refine our React Native mobile experience with Expo

Design durable background workflows for scheduling, payments, and integrations

Improve performance across our Next.js platforms and strengthen DX across the monorepo

Collaborate directly with product, design, and marketing to shape what we build

Our Tech

This stack reflects the systems we build and operate. You’re not expected to have experience with everything listed, but you should be excited to work close to product, performance, and real-world scale.

Durable background workflows for scheduling, payments, and integrations utilizing Inngest

Modern web platforms built with Next.js, React 19, Tailwind CSS, and a custom Radix UI design system

Extensive GraphQL API and client-side data fetching with Apollo

Backend services using Node.js, PostgreSQL with Drizzle ORM, and integrated systems like Stripe and Novu

Completing the full mobile experience using React Native, Expo, and Uniwind

Deployment on Vercel, managed in a TypeScript monorepo using pnpm and Turborepo, and tested with Vitest and Playwright

Who You Are

Strong TypeScript and React fundamentals — you've built and maintained production applications

US-based full stack engineer with 6+ years of professional experience

Comfortable across the full stack: databases, APIs, and frontend

React Native / Expo experience, or strong willingness to ramp up quickly

Pragmatic engineering judgment — you ship and iterate rather than over-architect

You thrive in ambiguity and move with urgency

Bonus: creator economy, social media, or content tools background
