Wasp is hiring a framework engineer to build Laravel for JS | Remote (US East Coast / EU) We are Matija and Martin, founders of Wasp (https://wasp-lang.dev/) and twin brothers. We’re building a Rails/Laravel-like full-stack framework that is designed to be stack and architecture-agnostic. Currently, we’re focusing on React, Node.js and Prisma. Our secret sauce is a custom-built compiler at the heart of the framework, which “understands” how your app works across the whole stack - we’re relying a lot on code generation, and that gives us a lot of flexibility to do some pretty cool things [1] and cut down the boilerplate. Since we launched Beta last year, we’ve seen quite strong community adoption [2] - Wasp has grown to ~14,000 stars on GitHub and is being used by indie hackers, startups, and Fortune 500 companies. We’re currently a team of six - senior engineers (ex-Google/Palantir) + growth and a devrel. We raised our first round after graduating from YC in 2021 [3] and just recently closed another round (details will be public soon). We are looking for a well-rounded engineer with substantial web dev experience who wants to be a part of a strong engineering/open-source culture and work on all aspects of the product with us - our custom compiler (in Haskell; but don’t worry about it [4]), frontend, backend, database/infra, deployment, CLI, ….
