From Tin Can's posting. “We” and “our” refer to the employer.
Tin Can is building a safer, simpler way for kids to connect — without smartphones. We’re creating screen-free, delightful devices and services that let families call the people who matter most, free from the noise of today’s digital world.
We’re building a bold, authentic, nostalgic, and kinda quirky brand that resonates with folks who want something simpler & better for their kids than the tech-infused lives we’re currently living (and who have a sense of humor about it). As we gear up to scale to thousands of families, we’re ready to bring on two engineers to help make it happen.
A Tin Can earns its spot on the kitchen counter when a kid keeps picking it up. Because we build both ends of the call, we get to make things no other phone can, and the next ones are the kind families ask us for: an easier way to fill the contact book, even more speed dials, more a kid can do without waiting on a grown-up. We’re hiring two Software Engineers to own the core product — the features that give a kid someone to call, a reason to call, and an easy way to do it.
You’ll build across the whole product: the app parents live in (Flutter), the TypeScript services on AWS Lambda behind contacts, plans, call logs, and voicemail, and the call-routing service that gates every call. You’ll sit with the Head of Product and the core experience’s PM and designer, alongside the engineers who own our voice platform, firmware, and account portal.
When a feature reaches into the call path — a new hotline number, the voicemail menu — you’ll go there, with our voice engineers reviewing anything on the SIP and media plane.
We’re on a quest to give kids a more analog childhood — one with real conversations, real connection, and way less screen time. No doomscrolling, data mining, or dopamine traps — just a simpler, better way for kids to stay in touch. This is a rare opportunity to build something that truly matters.
Reliability makes a call connect; you’ll build what makes a kid want to make one — easier ways to call back, more speed dials, more to do when no one’s around — and see it in how often families call.
Every company says “team,” but at Tin Can it means something different. We’re a small, mission-driven group that genuinely has each other’s backs — professionally and personally. You’ll be joining a tight-knit crew where your ideas and instincts matter from day one.
You’ll have the space to challenge assumptions, solve hard problems, and build systems that reflect our values of trust, simplicity, and care.
If you’re excited by making a Tin Can the thing a kid reaches for when they’ve got something to tell someone — and building what makes that call easy to make and return — we’d love to meet you.
