About this role

What to expect This is a full-time on-site role located in San Francisco for a Senior Backend Engineer, Product. You will be responsible for designing the product experience for the Orion mobile app and website. This includes defining API contracts for the mobile apps, architecting systems for scale, and building infrastructure to support new product features. If you are a generalist backend software engineer that has experience scaling out of 0-1 systems, this role is for you.   About Orion Orion is a personalized smart mattress cover that tracks your sleep and uses AI to cool and heat your body to the perfect core body temperature cycle. The mattress cover has embedded sensors that track biological signals such as heart rate and breath rate, turning that into advanced sleep insights without the need of a wearable.   Who We Are Orion is led by repeat founders with multiple 9 and 10-figure exits in consumer products and health-tech. The team has a combination of technical, marketing, product, operational, manufacturing, and sleep science expertise. The founding team has previously built and sold businesses that currently exceed $2 billion in value, are doing over $700 million in revenue, and have over 25 million users.   Culture Orion is a zero-bureaucracy move-fast culture. Everyone on the team is hired and empowered to have complete ownership over their area of expertise. We would rather hire someone with strong opinions rather than no opinions. Our software engineering team writes almost 0 code by hand and leans heavy on agentic AI tools.   Summary We don't spend time writing a bulleted list of expectations we are looking for in a candidate.   We hire people, not roles.   (competitive compensation, healthcare, and full benefits available)
