Who We Are

Bags.fm is the development company that builds and operates the entire technology stack behind bags.fm, the leading launchpad for new projects and ideas. The systems are low latency, high throughput, live under constant load, and break if you get them wrong.

What You’ll Do

As a Full Stack Engineer at Bags.fm, you’ll work on production systems operating at real scale, alongside a team of highly experienced engineers. This is a hands-on role with immediate responsibility and fast feedback.

Build, ship, and iterate on production features that reach hundreds of thousands of users

Work across the stack, from backend services and data pipelines to frontend interfaces, gaining deep exposure to how large systems are built and operated

Learn to design for performance, reliability, and scalability by working on systems under real-world load

Prototype quickly, test ideas with real users, and refine based on data rather than opinion

Tackle ambiguous, technically challenging problems and learn to reason from first principles with guidance from experienced engineers

Collaborate closely with a small, high-caliber team where code quality, clarity of thought, and execution speed matter

Own features end to end, from initial idea and implementation through deployment, monitoring, and iteration

Who You Are

An exceptional early-career engineer with a strong foundation in computer science and the ability to ramp quickly on new systems and codebases

Studied at a top university or demonstrated equivalent ability through competitive programming, Olympiads, open-source contributions, or substantial personal projects

Comfortable working across the stack, with hands-on experience in technologies like TypeScript, React, Next.js, and Node.js (or adjacent modern frameworks)

Curious and intellectually rigorous - you enjoy understanding why systems work, not just how to use them

A strong problem solver who can break down ambiguous problems, reason from first principles, and iterate toward solid solutions

High-agency and ownership-oriented, eager to take responsibility for features end-to-end while learning from more experienced engineers

Motivated by fast feedback, real users, and an environment where what you ship matters immediately

Hungry to learn from exceptional peers and grow rapidly by working on challenging problems at real scale

What it's like to work here

We work in person

Hours can be long and unconventional

The pace is intense

Expectations are high, and impact is immediate

Working at Bags.fm is not for everyone

Why Join Us?

Unmatched ownership and autonomy

Exposure to systems operating at the edge of crypto scale

The ability to ship fast and see real-world impact immediately

If you’re motivated by responsibility, speed, and building products used by massive audiences, you’ll feel at home here.
