The Role: Convex is a backend platform but our key differentiator is an excellent client API and developer experience. We've invested huge efforts in our client libraries, development APIs and sync protocol to make Convex a joy to use for application developers. We're looking to expand our team to develop the next version of the Convex API and help define what the modern application stack looks like. If you're an experienced TypeScript developer, care deeply about elegance and taste in API design, and believe that good platforms matter even more, not less, in an era of Al app development, then this is the job for you. What You'll Do: • Design, build, and maintain Convex's client libraries, sync protocol, and query APls. • Support new frameworks and keep track of new technologies in the app development space. • Develop an understanding of what abstractions scale and compose well in our stack so we can build libraries that are not just easy to use but also simple over the lifetime of a project. • Be self-directed to prioritize the right projects to work on, in close collaboration with the engineering team and CTO (hi! this is me, James). • Help establish good practices and design guidelines as we scale up our team and systems. • Write a bunch of cool client library code.

This is what I do at work, come work with me! We can make so many things so much better!

Thanks to many generous donations, I’ll be ordering 300 additional copies of the zine to distribute across NYC game stores, libraries, and tiny libraries.

I’ll continue to do this for as long as I keep getting donations.

Exploration! I go on a lot of long walks with a good friend and I play a lot of tabletop roleplaying games, often with strangers. 😁

Profoundly grateful for comrades, friends and friends who become family. We absolutely must hold on to each other. We're all we've got.

Ooh, I hope you’re enjoying it! This was one of the first video games I ever completed. (I think I was in high school?) The tears I shed playing Red Dead Redemption on my Xbox 360… 😂😭

I very rarely donate to campaigns outside my own sphere of electoral influence, but Kat is running the kind of campaign I wish everyone would run. If my $26 can make this strategy more viable, that’s money well spent.

Okay but actually… I feel like a bunch of my regulars would wear this on a shirt or pin or something. 😂

Wait. I’m so upset that I now know about this 😂😭

I so dearly love serving friends in my little game shop. If you find yourself anywhere near Detroit, come and visit @opalgrove.games 🥹

This is the main reason I haven’t worked in tech for going on two years… I was in DevRel but maybe one out of all the job posts I’ve seen has aligned with my values. I’d rather spend my time and talents literally bringing people together through play, so I’ve poured myself into my game store

Yessss, deadlifting is my favorite!! 🙌🏽

This is ridiculously adorable!!

No problem. I figured/hoped that was the case!

Hi, Kate! I think we’ve got some mutual buddies and I don’t have a day job, so I’m happy to help out if you still need someone!

I was getting my makeup done while they filmed this episode. The artist and I were both fighting for our lives trying not to laugh in the background 🤣
