At LaunchBrightly, we are on a mission to automate a process that continually captures and enhances screenshots of all your SaaS product features. The continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) pipeline and process that engineers adopted over the last decade, is what we ultimately want to build for customer support teams. TLDR; LaunchBrightly = Github Actions/Circle CI for customer support. And we are currently looking to bring onboard a strong Application Engineer.
Everyone at LaunchBrightly is a creator, an owner, or perhaps better, a celebration of the crazy ones. The misfits. The rebels. Most big companies are afraid of entrusting the future of the company and their software to a few makers, and as they defend against that, they end up with three layers of managers and a product designed by a committee. We want the opposite. We need the opposite as we enter virgin territory trying to build that CI/CD pipeline and process for the support organization. As our customer pushes a new feature to production, we automatically update all product images within the help center. This is a thrilling adventure!
Our work is remote, not distant. We believe that being a remote-first organization allows us to build an exceptional team composed of makers and sellers with diverse backgrounds and skill sets from around the globe. Our default work culture is asynchronous and emphasizes written communication to prioritize maker time, focus and company productivity. Our goal is not to eliminate face-to-face interaction, but we should default to a setting where written documentation is so strong that a meeting on most project subject matters would seem odd.
Founded in 2022, and backed by prominent venture firms including IA Ventures, Tuesday Capital, and B Capital Group, this is a unique opportunity to join this band of misfits on the ground floor. As an early teammate you will be working intimately with the founding team, who has done 0 to 1 five times over while seeing four of them come to an exit.
The Application Engineer will become an integral member of an intimate 9-person team consisting of:
However, we are looking not just for an Engineer but, rather, a teammate we see as integral to LaunchBrightly’s long-term journey and vital to our success. Someone who is comfortable in the dark and who sees a certain romance, like we do, in embracing the unknowns that come with being on the startup journey. We have a track record of seeing those colleagues who join us on the ground floor of our ventures ride the startup journey to completion (exit) with us, as we grow and become successful together. This is something we take seriously, and something we are extremely proud of!
Job Description
You'll work with Jose (and the remainder of the team) on the logic layer that powers our product: workflows, task runners, state machines, rules engines, and orchestration. You'll work in Typescript directly in the Vue App, and often in JS in AWS Lambda’s, tune our data models, and shape how primary product features like Audits function behind the scenes. You're not building APIs or UI — you're building the actual product behavior. Think of yourself as a Product Logic & State Orchestration Engineer.
This is a hands-on role for an engineer who loves building reliable systems that model real-world processes. You’ll work on the internal state machines that govern how screenshots flow through the system, are transformed, enhanced, and delivered. You’ll define rules engines that let non-technical users control automated behavior, manage task orchestration across Lambda and queues, and shape our schema design to handle complex edge cases with clarity and performance in mind.
You’ll thrive in this role if you think deeply about how complex systems behave over time, have strong opinions on data modeling and event-driven workflows, and enjoy writing deterministic, testable, observable logic. If you care more about product behavior than presentation, and love turning business intent into robust execution — this is for you!
We are looking for previous experience working with
Building production-grade B2B web apps, including everything that comes with robust, scalable software: business logic, testing, observability, and performance.
Writing TypeScript in a modern frontend architecture (Vue 3 SPA) and JavaScript in AWS Lambda functions.
Working deeply to create meaningful and maintainable test coverage across core business logic (e.g. Vitest).
Designing and modeling robust data schemas for DynamoDB and GraphQL queries, with a strong intuition for how data shapes product behavior.
Consuming and reviewing internal APIs using Postman, and contributing clear, actionable feedback to improve them.
Implementing Serverless architecture with AWS Amplify, including event-driven flows and task orchestration.
Having a good functional understanding of UI-layer concerns (HTML, DOM, TailwindCSS, HeadlessUI), but focusing your energy on what happens beneath the surface — the orchestration, rules, and workflows that make the app tick.
What you bring to the table
Minimum of 3 years of industry experience
A customer-first mentality, with an instinct to imagine how users will react and interact
Strong and precise communication and documentation skills, with a will to understand and be understood
Prides themselves on writing highly readable, thoroughly tested code
The personal organization skills and patience to manage multiple contexts as projects and features come together. A good dev can do things like: juggle tickets and Git branches, keep zero inbox, write notes for themselves to keep their small tasks straight, whip up shell scripts/test data to automate repetitive tasks
A passion for being part of the startup journey and taking ownership of the company’s success
A willingness to take initiative and enthusiasm to make an impact and take action
Thrives in a highly collaborative environment and enthusiasm for being a team player
Bonus point if you
Built Apps on the AWS Amplify (Serverless Design) framework, which is the primary backdrop for our App.
What we offer
Flexible working hours and locations. Your success is measured on outcomes
A culture of NO meetings where maker time and productivity is prioritized
Excellent start-up culture with openness and inclusiveness
True ownership and autonomy over your role and the impact on the company
Prioritization of focus time and productivity
Your choice of technical setup and equipment
Experienced founders with many years of successfully building product across multiple ventures
Annual meetup as a team in New York City.
What to expect in the interview process
Given the remote nature of our work setting, one of the core principles for how we operate as a remote team is written communication. And we therefore run a slightly unique interview process that begins with an email-based exchange to learn more about your background, communication style and overall fit for the role.
Stage 1: You’ll begin with an email conversation with our Co-founder, Josh Peacock, to get a sense of your technical background, written communication, and English proficiency.
Stage 2: Next, you'll have a follow-up email exchange with one of the Makers on our team on a set of more technical questions to get a deeper understanding of your technical knowledge and capabilities.
Stage 3: We’ll then ask you to complete a short technical assignment to demonstrate your practical skills in action.
Final stage: You’ll have two video calls—one with our Founder, Dennis Mortensen, and another with a Maker from the team to give us a chance to connect more personally and explore how you'd fit into the team.

When applying for jobs, you should NEVER have to pay to apply. You should also NEVER have to pay to buy equipment which they then pay you back for later. Also never pay for trainings you have to do. Those are scams! NEVER PAY FOR ANYTHING! Posts that link to pages with "how to work online" are also scams. Don't use them or pay for them. Also always verify you're actually talking to the company in the job post and not an imposter. A good idea is to check the domain name for the site/email and see if it's the actual company's main domain name. Scams in remote work are rampant, be careful! Read more to avoid scams. When clicking on the button to apply above, you will leave Remote OK and go to the job application page for that company outside this site. Remote OK accepts no liability or responsibility as a consequence of any reliance upon information on there (external sites) or here.

As an early teammate you will be working intimately with the founding team, who has done 0 to 1 five times over while seeing four of them come to an exit.
The Front-End Engineer will become an integral member of an intimate 6-person team consisting of:

Job Description
You will actively help take the current MVP to a V1 so tech savvy, but non-technical knowledge managers and technical writers have a product experience they will love to use. You and Jose are the initial and primary customers of our internal Screenshotting and Styling API, and your feedback is crucial to help elevate it in the mission of making our App better.
You will help extend the initial MVP feature set and expand along the following tracks (not exhaustive and mostly illustrative):
Build new interesting onboarding flows, so that we make an elaborate process as easy to digest as possible
Build interfaces to provide a smooth setup path to embed our live screenshots on customer destinations
Build an easy-to-use (and near fail-proof) Syncing flow for the help center platforms we integrate with
Build and help imagine Sync Notifications emails and Dashboards, which are the precursors to actual live Sync
Build Sync action pages and associated Analytics Dashboards
Help expand our Cloud Browser which makes it as easy as possible for our customers to identify an element inside their web app and tag it for automated screenshotting
A large part of our success hinges on us being able to adopt many of the technical CI/CD wonders from engineering and leveraging them via non-technical user interfaces. So your job is also one of the artful craft in tuning a form, button, dropdown, sort, filter and label, to the degree one would not need to on other B2B applications - and we are not shy to apply a fair amount of B2C glitter to achieve this.
Once an image is extracted, cleaned, enhanced and styled it is uploaded to our CDN and our customer can use it manually from here. We’ll also offer native integrations that allow them to sync images automatically. However, we assume there is a real need to allow access to the live images in different environments; a plugin/extension for e.g. Zendesk, to see Support folks easily reply to a ticket with a linked image, is a likely path of ours.
We are looking for previous experience working with
Building production-level B2B Web Apps (using Jest/Vitest for unit testing)
Vue 3 SPA (JS/TypeScript)
Tailwind CSS (HeadlessUI)
Plain vanilla CSS for the more sexy UI Elements we might implement.
Applying a UI/UX focus to your development including UX research
Consuming and commenting on internal APIs
DynamoDB, GraphQL
Analytics/Event tagging for research
What you bring to the table
Minimum 3 years of industry experience in front-end development
A developer who derives satisfaction from producing a genuinely useful product that improves the lives of others
A customer-first mentality, with an instinct to imagine how users will react and interact
Strong and precise communication and documentation skills, with a will to understand and be understood
Prides themselves on writing highly readable, thoroughly tested code
The personal organization skills and patience to manage multiple contexts as projects and features come together. A good dev can do things like: juggle tickets and Git branches, keep zero inbox, write notes for themselves to keep their small tasks straight, whip up shell scripts/test data to automate repetitive tasks
A passion for being part of the startup journey and taking ownership of the company’s success
A willingness to take initiative and enthusiasm to make an impact and take action
Thrives in a highly collaborative environment and enthusiasm for being a team player
Bonus point if you
We use Tailwind UI, but having implemented prior Design Systems and generally having a superior eye for design is a big plus.
Built Apps on the AWS Amplify (Serverless Design) framework, which is the primary backdrop for our App.
What we offer
Flexible working hours and locations. Your success is measured on outcomes.
