at  Silverdev

FROM SILVER.DEV

Motion is one of the most successful startups coming out from YC so far, making it an outstanding career opportunity for growth and equity compensation.
The technical founder is committed and recruited the entire current team by himself. This is one of those few opportunities of a lifetime we can get remotely, and the opportunity matches the expectations of candidates.
This is an S-Tier company with an S-Tier interview process.

You will be a successful engineer at Motion if:

• You are ambitious and always looking for ways to improve. For most engineers, this role will give you the most responsibilities you’ve ever had, while holding you to higher standards than other companies you’ve worked at. Don’t rest on your past achievements — expect to work your hardest and do the best work of your career at Motion. You will receive lots of coaching and feedback that you should seek to grow from
• You can take ownership of projects and lead them to completion while dealing with ambiguity and finding the right balance between speed and quality. You don’t need every detail and edge case spelled out for you because you can figure out the goals of the project and fill in the blanks
• You are a fast learner and can quickly familiarize yourself with a complex product and code base. You aren’t afraid to tackle any part of the stack or learn a new unfamiliar technology. You are comfortable with the fact that working in a startup means working around tech debt
• You have a strong understanding of how you can create the most impact, and don’t get lost in the weeds in details that don’t matter. You’re excited to work on whatever solves the biggest customer problems, not just the coolest technical challenges
• You can collaborate effectively with other talented engineers and work well in an environment where the best ideas win. The median engineer at Motion has 8 years experience. You should expect your ideas to get challenged and to learn a lot from your coworker
