Convex jobs, judged for you, free

What they do

Convex makes a reactive backend platform for web developers. It gives them a database, functions, workflows, sync, search, and file storage, all written in TypeScript. Its goal is to let developers and AI agents build fast, reliable apps without a backend team. Its backend is open source, and its founders led storage and database work at Dropbox.

What they value

• Be worthy of trust.
• Make work human: fun, sincere, and open to differences.
• Do it for the why: focus on what matters to customers.
• Care a lot: mission first, then team, then self.
• Drive forward progress with boldness and accountability.
