Founding Frontend Engineer
MagicBell is a B2B SaaS startup addressing the products’ notification challenges. Earlier this year, we graduated from Y Combinator and raised $4.5m in seed funding. Some of the best startups like Pitch use MagicBell to power their notifications. Please read our blog post on why we are working on MagicBell.
We are post-revenue and growing fast. We pay well and offer meaningful equity with a 10-year exercise window (more on that in the offer). The founders have scaled startups previously and are backed by some of the smartest entrepreneurs in the world. Read more on our about page.
We strive hard to create a remote, fun, high-growth work environment in which ambitious people can thrive. Please look at our careers page to learn more about our work culture, values, and your day-to-day.
Tech Stack
Our front end is built with React, CSS-in-JS, and TypeScript. We test-drive our code with Jest, and we use Storybook a lot. We offer 4 JavaScript libraries to interact with our Rest API and render notification inboxes in the browser and React Native. These offer users real-time capabilities through WebSockets.
We are happy to walk you through our architecture and code in a call. We are always looking for ways to improve things and are eager to hear your suggestions.

A big reason why we love working on MagicBell is that we get to build for other developers. You’ll get to work with some of the brightest engineers (our customers) to help them build notifications faster than they ever imagined. We routinely chat with them on our Slack Community (join us there!).
The Offer
We pay well and offer meaningful equity (every full-time employee has equity). We can’t match Google/Facebook in their perks, but we make sure you have everything you need to do the best work you have done in your career.
Location: Fully remote
Salary: $120k – $170k (or more if you have a lot more experience than our requirements)

Hours: Up to 40 hrs/week. While we don’t overwork routinely, as a startup, there are times when you need to work beyond your regular work hours or fix something on the weekend. If that is a strict no for you, we suggest not applying.
Flexible work: We require the EST 10 am to 1 pm overlap, and the rest of the time is up to you to manage. Few meetings, mostly asynchronous communication, and other day-to-day details on our blog.
Time off: 30 working days a year (20 PTO and 10 public holidays. You are welcome to take sick days as you need them).
Benefits: Healthcare (with Dental & Vision in the US), paid time off, and an annual all-expense-paid retreat somewhere beautiful. $1k/yr to attend any conferences/events that you find useful.

Why you should join MagicBell
MagicBell is the notification inbox for web & mobile apps.
As consumers of many apps, we have personally experienced the growing volume of notifications, many of which add to our anxiety. MagicBell is on a mission to end this chaos and help every app deliver a stellar notification experience.
We do this by offering a beautifully designed notification inbox that apps can embed in their products in minutes. We do all the heavy lifting related to real-time delivery & syncing, web & mobile push notifications, email notifications, and even notification preference management.
We sit at an interesting intersection of a dev tool & a productivity tool for end-users. We are helping every app make its users more productive!
MagicBell embraces diversity – one of the founders is a transgender woman, and another a Latino (Hola!). They are experienced programmers and entrepreneurs and have built a successful SaaS business in the past. With a decade of working remotely under their belt, they understand how to work across time zones asynchronously.
We are a part of the Go Remotely group, specialized in recruiting anywhere in the world.
