Software Engineer(Node.JS)
Why this role?
Help build the future of sales: At Nektar, you will help redefine the way people sell.
Across countries and industries. There are few startups with this kind of market
potential.
A team with decades of domain expertise: Between them, the founders have
nearly two decades of experience founding and growing startups and building and
selling SaaS products globally.
Tackle our most impactful problems: Our team is still small, and people wear
many hats. You'll jump between product, design, engineering, DevOps and growth.
You will not be bored.
Join us at a magical time: We have raised one of the biggest seed rounds in Asia,
from some of the best SaaS VCs giving us a massive jump start and room to focus on
our product and users.

What do we do?
Nektar's mission is to help people work smarter. Our first product is an AI
Assistant for sales teams(Think: Google Assistant for Salespeople) that will helpclose more deals faster and help more salespeople become successful.
Sales organisations have spent billions of dollars on systems of record(CRM) to
collect vast amounts of data. This data might produce pretty graphs on managers'
reports but it hardly ever helps the salesperson in the field move their deals forward.
This is why, in 2019, less than 30% of salespeople used their organisation's CRM as
intended, and 57% of the sales teams globally missed their sales quota.
This is where we're different — we are laser-focused on the specific actions that help
salespeople close deals. We're building a real system of growth, a first of its kind
AI-driven solution to help salespeople become better at selling by helping our
users build productive habits, adopting best practices and eliminating friction from
the sales process.

What we're looking for?
We're looking for engineers who can hit the ground running, with at least a
year's experience building production servers using Node.js.
As an all-remote team, we require great communication skills, particularly in
writing. You must be a self-motivated manager of one with the ability to work
independently, take ownership and proactively seek help when required. Prior
experience working remotely will be a positive but is not required.
As a startup, we prefer generalists over specialists and product-focused
engineers who can empathise with users. Experience working at a fast-growing
startup would be positive but is not required.
Experience in sales tech will be a strong positive, but is not a must.
Full-stack experience, especially with React Native, will be a positive but is not
required.

How do we work?
Though the founding team is based in Singapore, we're an all-remote engineering
team from the beginning (yes, since before the pandemic!), and we've built a
fantastic remote-friendly culture. We support every team member set up a great
personal workspace that fits them — whether that's a home office, a co-working
space or just hanging out at a coffee shop. We are location agnostic and you can
literally choose a location that works for you to work out of. Our distributed team
currently sits in India, Singapore, Vietnam and Indonesia. We do weekly team activities, like online gaming and coffee chat to ensure that
physical distance, doesn't keep us from being a close-knit team.
Nektar is a small team, and everyone's involved in shaping the product we build.
We're still iterating and figuring out the product-market fit, so we're not averse to
throwing away code. We'd rather build a few powerful features that solve important
needs than lots of features that are not as valuable.
In line with our mission — helping people work smarter — we're always thinking
about how we can work smarter ourselves. We try to avoid large and long meetings
and prefer ad-hoc collaboration with one or two other people instead. We invest in
continuous integration and deployment, automated testing and other tooling to
eliminate friction from our engineering processes. We aim for clear written
documentation and communication.
