Software Engineer

Smartcuts is building a browser extension that turns your clicks and keystrokes into shareable, no-code automations (1-minute video). We're looking for individuals who approach their craft with curiosity, clarity, and an appetite to learn to join our tiny but mighty distributed team. Smartcuts investors include Y Combinator, SignalFire, and prominent angels including the founders of Fitbit, Hubspot, Lyft, and Segment. We use ReasonML, ReScript, Next.js, Vercel, GraphQL, and the serverless database Fauna. Our choices were built on a preference for strongly typed, functional languages and for serverless architectures -- choices that allow us to focus on the necessary, not the incidental, complexity of the problem space. Some of the interesting engineering and design challenges in this problem space? How do you design a product that doesn't expose engineering concepts to users? How can you design an algorithm that can reliably locate elements on a page, without asking the user to specify css selectors? How can you leverage AI to automatically detect and extract structured records from a web page? Originally posted on Himalayas
