Job description
Remilia is building a consumer social platform where the social graph, long-form content, real-time chat, and a virtual economy operate on a shared data model.
We're looking for software engineers who move fast and care about craft, and are interested in joining a small team with end-to-end ownership — you will build identity/auth, APIs, content systems, database architecture, client UI.
The engineering problems are interesting: graph queries on a relational database, real-time presence, content systems that outlive their feeds. Stack is intentionally boring technology, modular monolith: Go, SQLite, TypeScript/React.
You have:
- A portfolio of interesting work
- Experience shipping features end to end
- Founding-engineer or 0→1 experience on small teams
Background or interest working in any of the following:
- Real-time systems (WebSockets, fanout, presence)
- Systems programming (C/C++/Rust)
- Relational schema (data modeling, indexing, query design)
- Media pipelines (upload, processing, delivery)
- In-game social systems, chat, community, or UGC products
Not this role: platform engineering, distributed systems, SRE, AI/ML research.
Us:
- Ambitious Xanadu/Semantic Web inspired vision
- Well-capitalized and independent
- Engaged alpha user community
- Small team with opportunity for high impact
Benefits:
- Seed stage options
- PTO, health insurance, lifestyle stipends
- Creative studio environment
All roles in-office (Irvine, California).
To apply: include a portfolio of work.
