Curvenote | Remote (Canada-based preferred) | Full-timeAbout Curvenote Curvenote is building the infrastructure for connected knowledge in a computable world, because static PDFs are the weakest link in how science and technical work get shared, losing the data, code, and context behind them.We started as researchers frustrated with that disconnect and built the SCMS, a web-first platform for compiling, publishing, and preserving technical work. We're a core contributor to My ST Markdown and run on an open-core model: open-source formats and tools, with enterprise features for scale and security. Researcher-led and Y Combinator-backed, we are expanding beyond academic publishing into broader technical and industry workflows.The Role We're looking for a Senior Full Stack Developer to help build Curvenote end to end, from the Postgre SQL database and data model up through the APIs and services that power our product and editorial/publishing workflows.Curvenote's platform runs on a Type Script monorepo with Prisma over Postgre SQL, Supabase and a React/Remix front end, serving both our open-source CLI/publishing tools and our hosted enterprise APIs and products.You'll work directly with our CTO and the rest of engineering, with real ownership over how the product's data, services, and interfaces evolve as we scale from single-author projects to institutional and journal-scale publishing.What You'll Do Own features end to end, schema design, API and service work, and the front-end surface they powerDesign and evolve our Postgre SQL schema and data models across the core platform,
