About the role
Circle Labs in San Francisco is seeking an engineer to build the systems and product experiences behind shapes.inc, a collaboration platform that brings people and shapes together. You’ll own engineering problems across the stack on a small local team, shipping Next.js and React interfaces, memory and context retrieval, and real-time communication features to keep groups aligned. Join us to help shapes coordinate goals and track progress, while improving latency and UX across conversations.
Before you apply
Applying takes about a minute. These four things decide how fast it moves after that.
Your profile is current
It's what we read first. Occupations, seniority and locations matter more than a long history.
Two examples you can talk through
Not a portfolio — just two pieces of work where you can explain the decisions and what you'd change.
A number in mind
What you're on now and what would make you move. We negotiate better when we know both.
Your notice period
Employers plan around it, and it's the question that stalls offers most often.
Once you apply, someone reads it and calls you before anything reaches the employer — usually within two working days.
