Software Engineer

About Night

Night is a next-generation media company representing over 200 of the world’s most influential digital creators. We also build creator-first tools and internal products through Night Labs, our product studio. This summer, we’re shipping multiple engineering-led products across AI, internal tooling, mobile, and creator infrastructure—and we’re looking for a versatile part-time engineer to help us move fast.

About the Role

We’re hiring a Part-Time Contract Development Engineer to support several light- to medium-lift builds and integrations across our internal tools and creator platforms. This role is ideal for someone who can context-switch across projects, work independently, and quickly ship clean, functional code.

What You'll Work On

We’re a small, fast-moving team tackling a wide range of ambitious problems. Depending on your interests and strengths, you’ll have the opportunity to contribute across a spectrum of high-impact work, including:

• Product Engineering
  Build and ship full-stack features across our user-facing products, often from scratch. This could include anything from internal tools and browser extensions to AI-powered interfaces and lightweight consumer apps.
  
  
• AI-First Experiences
  Design and implement novel AI-native workflows that blend language models with intuitive UX. You’ll have room to experiment, prototype, and iterate quickly on utilities that go from 0→1 fast.
  
  
• Systems Integration
  Stitch together APIs, CRMs, and payments infrastructure to create smooth, scalable operational systems. If you enjoy connecting the dots between tools like Stripe, Supabase, Customer.io, and more—there’s plenty to do.
  
  
• Mobile & Native Development
  Contribute to apps on macOS and iOS using Swift, React Native, or similar frameworks. We’re building fluid, thoughtful companion experiences that live close to the user.
  
  
• Internal Tools & Infrastructure
  Support the foundations of the company—whether it's automating internal workflows, maintaining lightweight dashboards, or keeping our deployment stack humming. Small tweaks can have outsized leverage here.
  
  
• Exploratory Projects
  Jump into early-stage ideas, proof-of-concepts, or short-cycle experiments. Many of our best projects start with someone saying “what if…” and then building a prototype the next day.

We’re looking for builders—people who are curious, resourceful, and comfortable working across stacks and domains. Whether you’re a frontend-focused product thinker or a backend systems generalist, there’s room to make an outsized impact.

What We’re Looking For

We're seeking a strong full-stack generalist who can move quickly, think independently, and take ownership of projects end-to-end. While we don’t expect expertise in every area, the ideal candidate will bring several of the following:

• Deep JavaScript/TypeScript expertise, especially with React, Next.js, Node.js
  
  
• An eye for clean UI and experience building fast, responsive interface
  
  
• A product-minded approach - you’re excited to take vague ideas and turn them into real, shipped features
  
  
• Familiarity with AI tools and APIs, and the ability to prototype quickly with LLMs
  
  
• Bonus: Light iOS experience (Swift or React Native) or a background in ad tech/attribution systems
  
  
• Independent, fast-moving execution - you’re reliable, proactive, and thrive with autonomy

Why Work With Us

• Flexible hours and remote-friendly
• Diverse, exciting projects across the creator economy and AI
• Opportunity to grow into a larger or full-time role if there’s mutual fit
