Hi! We are Martin and Matija, founders of **Wasp - a next-generation, compiler-driven full-stack web framework.** Wasp is currently in Beta - it has ~14,000 stars on GitHub and is being used by both startups and Fortune 500 companies to build and deploy web apps.

We were part of Y Combinator in 2021 and raised funds from top US & EU deep tech funds and early engineers from Facebook, Twitter, and Airbnb. We raised our first round post-YC in 2021, and more details on the most recent funding will be public soon.

We are a team of 6 and are looking to expand our team with strong, driven engineers!

TL;DR

• shape the future of web app development while working on a wide range of exciting topics (web framework design, FE/BE/DB/devops, code generation, functional programming, ...)
• work alongside experienced ex-Google and Palantir engineers and experience first-hand all aspects of building and growing a deep-tech, developer-first company
• play a key role in shaping our engineering-first culture, establishing best development practices, and contributing to future hiring decisions
• have fun while doing what you love (which is, of course, programming)
• you are: an experienced generalist with singificant web dev experience who is passionate about their work and wants the impact and flexibility of working in a startup

Come build the future of web development with us!

At Wasp, we are building the next generation of web development technology - a compiled, stack-agnostic framework/DSL for implementing full-stack web apps that interop with the existing stack (React & Node.js currently). Imagine Ruby on Rails or Laravel but not bound to the specific stack or architecture.

If you're passionate about software engineering and creating open-source technology with the potential to fundamentally impact web development, keep reading!

<aside> 👉 We are hiring only a few people at this stage, but they will be absolutely the best. We don’t believe where you live should determine your compensation, and we are paying international salary and equity rates.

The product

Based on our experiences of building complex web app platforms in different industries (fintech, biotech, edtech), we realized there is a huge need for an easier way to develop and maintain such apps. We asked ourselves: “What is the web development of the future going to look like?” and the answer was “A higher-level, stack agnostic framework, built from the ground up!”. We wanted to separate the high-level specification of a web app from the implementation: you would describe the high-level of the web app in a specialized DSL while implementing the details in the technology of your choice (e.g. React, Node, Prisma, …).
