About Tandem

The way office space works and the industry behind it is getting completely flipped on its head right now. We are in the middle of a MAJOR disruption driven by two things:

1. Over 50% of office space is currently sitting empty in US cities.
2. Hybrid and remote work are here to stay. The five-days-in-the-office workweek is going away forever for many, many, many jobs.

Tandem is a marketplace tech company solving these problems by enabling the next generation of office space. Check us at out Tandem.space - you’ll see hundreds of spaces on our marketplace. We match, service and enable companies every day to find their perfect office space, and we’re just getting started.

We’re a small, experienced team - currently we have 15 full time employees, and you would be joining as the 6th engineer including the CTO. Expect a fast-paced environment where you’ll have significant engineering ownership plus the opportunity to impact things outside of engineering like product, design, strategy, etc. You will report directly to the CTO, who is highly technical (ex-Google) and led two previous YC companies before Tandem.
