About Campsite
Working in a silo is bleak, but has sadly become the default experience for modern software teams. When it takes hours of file-spelunking and channel-sleuthing to figure out what other people are working on, people default to working in isolation.
And when people work in isolation, they miss out on the serendipitous cross-pollination of great ideas, waste time on work that another team has already figured out, and ultimately create disconnected experiences for their customers.
Campsite breaks down silos at work, helping people to discover work-in-progress and share async feedback across team and product boundaries.
We're building best-in-class tools to help modern software teams:
Create visibility — help anyone in a company easily see what's happening across teams and projects.
Share and organize async feedback — simplify and automate the feedback process so that it's clear to know what to work on next.
Create meaningful social connections at work — create a space to cross-pollinate great ideas, resources, and best-practices so that teams level up together.
Full-stack engineering at Campsite
You will be building and shipping new features often, working across our Ruby backend and Next.js + Typescript frontend.
Our team is small, which means you will play a key role in shaping product direction and defining how Campsite should work.
You will love this role if you work autonomously, love talking to customers, bias towards shipping, and hate being blocked. As an early team, the most exciting foundational building blocks are yet-to-be-built.
You should be excited about the idea of building reliable and beautiful engineering solutions that can be leveraged to ship better, faster, and more reliable software.
Compensation and benefits
Campsite pays competitively and has set aside a large employee equity option pool so that you can feel well-compensated for taking the plunge into early-stage startup life.
In addition to a great salary and meaningful equity, you can also expect:
Office and equipment upgrades — You need it, you got it. We trust you to not overspend.
Flexible time off — We trust each other at Campsite to take care of our health, families, and personal recharge needs.
In-person meetups — Building a great team culture over Zoom is hard. We organize regular in-person meetups to work, play, and explore new parts of the world.

About the founder
Hey, I'm Brian!
Before starting Campsite I spent three years leading design for GitHub's native mobile apps.
Before GitHub, I co-founded Spectrum, a platform for large-scale communities to have better public conversations. Spectrum was acquired by GitHub in 2018.
And before Spectrum, I designed payments experiences at Facebook, working across Facebook, Messenger, WhatsApp, and Instagram. I originally cut my teeth as the first product designer at Buffer.
I also co-host the Design Details Podcast, a weekly conversation about design process and culture.
Side projects have played an outsized role in my growth as maker. Some of my favorite projects are Better Hacker News, Security Checklist, App Dissection, Staff Design, and my Figma plugins.
