At StyleSeat, our mission is to help people look and feel their best. We are on the path to achieving this mission by being the go-to portal for consumers to discover, book, and pay for beauty and grooming services (hair stylists, colorists, nail artists, estheticians, barbers, etc). We are also the premier solution for all independent professionals in the industry to run and grow their business. We have powered over 120 million appointments booked and $10B in revenue for small businesses and are on the path to much more.
Our leaders are just as involved in the code as they are with mentoring their team to make StyleSeat the very best place to work. We have a strong value-based culture that serves our community, gives every individual ownership and is diverse.
Being an engineer means: daily releases, clear ownership, constant learning, data driven decision-making, great partnership with product, serving millions of customers everyday. Every single engineer makes a huge impact on our customers and the company’s growth.

We are building an A+ engineering team. We are looking for world class engineering leaders who are proven multipliers who have led teams to do more by working smarter. You have excellent technical and mentoring skills; you help the team make sound architectural decisions, improve delivery velocity, improve product quality, and provide career growth to our highly driven staff..
Our engineers work in small fullstack agile squads where each team has clear KPIs that they are responsible for. You will be part of the engineering leadership team and start as an engineer to get your hands in the code so you know how things work and what needs to be optimized.
