Additional details
- Substack is building a new economic engine for culture, giving the brightest, most interesting, and most creative people on the internet the power of their own publishing platform.
- The terms of our culture should not be set by gate-keeping legacy media or chaos-fueling social media, but by the people who actually make and participate in that culture.
- Substack’s model, based on direct subscriptions, has fueled an explosion of independent publishing.
- It empowers creators with economic autonomy, creative ownership, and a direct connection to their most engaged audiences.
- About the Community Team We’re working on the next frontier of products and features to help Substack creators connect and manage their community.
- This ranges from DMs to Substack Chat to entirely new products.
- Our team brainstorms with the CEO, Chris Best, and each engineer contributes ideas for new products and UI/UX upgrades to existing products.
- Ultimately those ideas become internal prototypes, and then become products shipped to our millions of users.
- We’re a small team of generalists, so we especially value an interest in working across our tech stack, willingness to prototype, and product-mindedness.
- Responsibilities - Build frontend and backend (and sometimes mobile) features that help creators manage their communities, and users connect more deeply within these communities. - Collaborate with designers, writers, support staff, and many others.
