Be the Engineer behind the first community-powered Calendar app.
We know you're busy, so here's the deal:
- We are building the first community-powered calendar app, entirely customizable to your needs. It also means we adopt an open-source approach by default.
- We started Hera 15 months ago, we finished YCombinator S21 and raised a $1.7M seed round with US and European investors.
- We are fundamentally customer-centric: All our users are in a Slack group, we discuss features & pain points with them every day. Several users invested in our seed round.
- We are building a complete modern calendar from scratch, the technical and product challenges are numerous and world-class engineering is crucial to our mission
- $70k-$120k salary + equity, and whatever you need to do your work in great conditions.

There is a massive shift in how people work and want to spend their time. We believe that five to ten years from now, a large portion of the population will work remotely.
As we spend more and more time online
But every calendar is unique. Some people like blocking time, other dump todos...
In Hera, we have a marketplace of Plugins that you can use to extend Hera to fit your exact needs. Even better, you can become yourself a Creator and build the plugin you need.
→ This job is an unique opportunity to to build the first open-source SDK for calendar plugins.
👉 You: Help us build a great calendar and a rich marketplace of plugins
Hera is a product-led company, and engineering is the fuel we use to execute on our vision. We want to build a great product, loved and used everyday by our users, and we know these products come from first-class engineering work.
🤝 What we expect
We don't care about your age or years of experience. However, we care about your expertise in React and Typescript!
You will love working with us if you can see yourself in the following traits:
Ownership & clarity
- You own the solutions you craft: you can explain clearly why you believe it's the best technical solution for the problem at hand.
- You need minimal guidance to come up with creative solutions to technical issues and you ask for help when you lack context
Performance sensitive, with a sweet drop of pragmatism
- You have a good sense of which kind of code will lead to good performances and good maintainability. You care about the efficiency of the code you write.
- You also know that a feature useful to users is better than a perfect feature never shipped. You know when to stop the optimisation.
Speed to working solution
- When working on a new problem to fix / feature to implement, you are very quick to get a working, though not perfect, solution.
→ You will mostly work with Bruno (product), Zak (Front-end) and Jeremie (Back-end)
🎤 What your days will look like
At Hera, your top priority will be to build the best experience in our calendar.
In practice you work on the front-end (Electron app + React) and on the back-end (Node.js) with the rest of the team to:
- Implement new features
- Make our app faster and more stable
- Improve our open-source SDK to build plugins
⚙️ What is our current technical stack?
- ReactJS, Electron
- Apollo, GraphQL, Nexus
- Jotai
- Node.js, Express, Prisma ORM, PostgreSQL
- Typescript everywhere, functional programming (fp-ts)
🤩 You're one email away of building the next generation of calendars
