Full - stack Engineer - Remote Eligible

Full-Stack Engineer

Metaculus is the premier public forecasting platform with over 2,800,000 forecasts on over 20,000 questions. Metaculus is "epistemic infrastructure" like Wikipedia and Our World In Data, providing the world with trusted, accurate information on a variety of questions, particularly in science and technology. Our mission is to enable everyone to model, understand, predict, and navigate the world's most important and complex challenges.

As a Full-Stack Engineer, you will lead the development of new features that help our platform serve the needs of our forecasters and partners. You'll work with a team of talented engineers, designers, product managers, and researchers who consistently produce excellent software and are passionate about our mission. Most features you'll build will be frontend-heavy, though full-stack expertise remains essential.

Please don't use an LLM to answer the application questions or bulk-apply with automated tools. Authentic answers stand out.

• Take full ownership of feature development, from initial discussions with designers and product managers through deployment and impact analysis.

• Serve new functionality to our partners, ranging from nonprofits to governmental agencies to corporations.
• Collaborate with other engineers in technical architecture designs, code reviews, infrastructure and CI/CD maintenance and platform monitoring.
• Collaborate with product & design on product roadmaps and feature brainstorms.
• Mentor junior engineers and build a cohesive engineering culture with a high standard for the quality of execution.
