Things you might do:

  • Improve the checkout flow with Stripe on the Pro Platform.

  • Work on improving the performance of Svelte Flow.

  • Write a tutorial on how to build an AI chatbot with React Flow.

  • Answer technical questions from our users over Discord or by email.

  • Create a new example for our documentation.

What we can offer:

  • Work on an interesting open source project used by thousands of developers

  • Four day work-week (32 hours)

  • Six weeks of vacation per year

  • Salary range: 50k - 80k

How to apply:

If you don't fit everything we wrote above or need some on-the-job skill-building, but you feel excited about the position, we would love to hear from you! To apply, send us an answer to the following questions with a paragraph or two of text (no more than 300 words) or a video / loom / audio clip (no more than 2 minutes):

  1. What is most interesting to you about this job posting?

  2. What past experience do you have that is relevant to this position?

Send this along with your first name and preferred pronouns (if you'd like) and a document with your past working experience in any format you like over to jobs@xyflow.com. We aim to get back to applications within one week.

How we hire

We consider applications on a rolling basis, and will add and remove job openings as the team grows. Here's how our hiring process works:

  1. Our team goes through your application.

  2. We invite you for a short 15 minute “vibe check” video call.

  3. A small take-home assignment based on an old real-world support request that involves creating a small React Flow app.

  4. We invite you for a one hour in person interview with one of the founders and some of the team.

  5. We send you an offer.

How we work

We are currently a team of five all working less than 40-hours per week. Four of us are in Berlin and regularly work in our office in Kreuzberg while one of us is in the UK. We all meet up in-person about twice a year. We communicate over Discord and have one weekly synchronous call. We also have a flexible schedule, which can work well with any responsibilities you may have during the week such as student obligations or family / medical needs.

We work in three-week cycles followed by one-week cooldown period. During the cooldown week we create “pitches” of new ideas, features, edits, or improvements. At the end of our cooldown week as a team we decide which ones we'll work on in the next cycle. We work on some pitches collaboratively, some alone. At the end of the cycle we talk about how the cycle was for us and show what we worked on.

We don't accept money from people like the military or agencies who conduct mass surveillance. Our libraries are MIT Licensed which translates to a core principle of transparency about our work. We do make money from our Pro subscriptions, but we are not seeking investor funding. We are anti-hustle culture.

Diversity and inclusion are a priority for us. We are open to discussions about how to make xyflow a more inclusive space and if we can make accomodations in our hiring process, please reach out to us.
