About us

Gather helps distributed teams build digital spaces that bring everyone together.

Whether collaborating in meetings, co-working with colleagues, or stopping by someone's digital desk, connecting with your team becomes energizing. High bandwidth work and culture creation happen no matter where your team members are.

The mission of Gather is to eliminate the physical barriers to opportunity and connection.

Role overview:

As a Senior Fullstack Engineer within the Product Platform team, you will be responsible for working on abstractions and frameworks that underlie the work of our entire Apps team.

Full Stack Engineers here at Gather work across the entire technical stack and are especially valuable as someone who can build entirely new features themselves and also be a load balancer for whichever part of the stack currently needs the most attention.
