Full Stack Engineer at Blee

ABOUT BLEE At Blee we are replacing workflows that typically run on spreadsheets, email, etc with AI-first software that brings the whole org together to meet compliance requirements faster, more thoroughly, and with greater transparency. We currently have thousands of active users from dozens of enterprise-grade customers on pledged, or paid, long-term contracts. Our leadership group hails from the likes of Adobe, Chime, PayPal, AWS, Wachtell, Harvard Law, and Columbia Law. We have built the first platform that handles the unique challenges our customers face from front-to-back. We find the ideal people for Blee will not only be natural problem solvers but will also enjoy the thrill of discovering which problems our users need solving in the first place, most of whom have never used a product like Blee before. We have an office in downtown SF, one in NYC coming soon, and most of our team is split between the Bay Area and NYC.
