ABOUT FATHOM

We created Fathom to eliminate the needless overhead of meetings. Our AI assistant captures, summarizes, and organizes the key moments of your calls, so you and your team can stay fully present without sacrificing context or clarity. From instant, searchable call summaries to seamless CRM updates and team-wide sharing, Fathom transforms meetings from a source of friction into a place for alignment and momentum.

We’re a small company that creates magical experiences through the hard work of focused builders. We try to live our values - Care Deeply, Seek Leverage, Share Ownership, Sustain Urgency, and Be Tenacious - in everything we do, every day.

We started Fathom to rid us all of the tyranny of note-taking, and people seem to really love what we've built so far:

🥇 #1 Most Used App of the Year on HubSpot for 2025

🔥 #1 Rated on G2 with 4,500+ reviews and a perfect 5/5 rating

🥇 #1 Product of the Day and #2 AI Product of the Year

🚀 Most installed AI meeting assistant on both the Zoom and HubSpot marketplaces

📈 We’re hitting revenue and usage records every week

ROLE OVERVIEW

We are looking for product-minded full-stack engineers to build impactful, customer-facing features at Fathom. Our application team owns nearly every part of the product beyond our core infrastructure and recording pipeline. That includes our web app, Electron desktop app, Chrome extension, AI pipelines, search and chat experiences, third-party integrations, public API, and MCP server.

As part of our team, you’ll help identify and deliver the product improvements that matter most to customers. You’ll work closely with fellow application engineers and our AI, platform, SRE, and customer support teams to deliver an unmatched customer experience.

HOW YOU’LL HELP US WIN

Contribute to our collection of highly-scalable services (some stateless, some stateful). Our services run in multiple regions, are engineered to support spiky but predictable workloads, and are deployed via multi-stage rollouts to build confidence in the correctness and efficiency of changes.

REQUIREMENTS

Hard Skills

Familiarity with our tech stack or equivalents: Ruby/Rails/Sidekiq, Typescript/TSX, MySQL, Redis, Pusher, Electron, GCP/GKE

Experience in a SaaS or PaaS environment at our scale (currently 100s of millions of async jobs per week)

Soft Skills

Curiosity-driven and pragmatic with a focus on delivering results

A generalist mindset with the ability to dive deep into a wide range of challenges

Resilience, attention to detail, and an ability to grind through complex problems

Openness to disagreement and commitment to decisions once made

Strong collaborative skills, with the ability to explain complex insights in an accessible manner to both technical and non-technical audiences

Independence in managing one’s workload and priorities

WHAT'S IN IT FOR YOU

The opportunity to shape the foundational software services of a growing company

A role that balances innovation and incremental improvement

A dynamic and collaborative engineering team

Competitive compensation and benefits

A supportive environment that encourages innovation and personal growth

WHY YOU SHOULD JOIN US

Opportunity for impact. We’re established enough to ship instead of fighting fires and early enough that your work will have a real impact.

Startup experience. You’ll work closely with our CEO, a 2X Founder/CEO with a background in computer science and product design.

We embrace being fully remote. We schedule meetings sparingly and instead heavily use async comms (Slack, Notion, Loom)

ABOUT THE INTERVIEW

No live coding. We have no idea who thought writing code on whiteboards was a good idea but we hate it. We’re much more interested in what you’ve done and learned.

You’ll meet the entire team. We think it’s important that you get to meet everyone you’ll be working with.

No bullshit. Ask us anything you like. We’ve never understood why companies pretend they’re something that they’re not in the hiring process - you’re going to find out eventually so we’d rather you know who we are up front so we can both make sure this is a good fit for all involved.

Quick turnaround time. We know you have lots of options so we move fast usually in less than a week from start to finish.
