Company mission
Warp's mission is to re-create the command line as a modern app, making a more usable, humane and, ultimately, more powerful CLI for everyone.
Role
Who you are
- You are passionate about helping developers get more done — would jump at the chance to work on this particular product
- You have amazing engineering chops, but are also product- and user-focused
- You have great communication and collaboration skills
- You’re sensitive to developers’ needs, and can develop warm relationships with developers
- Bonus:
- Building native apps in Rust or WASM
- Shell or Linux-programming
- OpenGL, WebG, or other graphics programming

What the job involves
- Have the chance to tackle difficult technical problems. One of the main reasons there has been little innovation in this space is that, for historical reasons, the terminal/shell division makes it hard to innovate

- Be a foundational member of our early team and shape company culture and long-term engineering practices
Otta's take
Theo Margolius
COO of Otta
Despite the growing importance of coding, coding terminals have been underserved by innovation in recent years. Warp solves this problem by developing and delivering a cutting-edge command-line terminal.
Warp is made up of former Google, Adobe and Dropbox developers who have identified the need for a modernized coding terminal. Warp's Rust-based terminal improves productivity and efficiency among developers without sacrificing security. For this reason, Warp is now trusted by some of tech's most prolific developers, including Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff.
Warp is working hard to bring its app to a number of operating systems, which will allow it to scale its customer base further. This will be vital if the company is to gain a headstart against other terminal developers.
