Warp: We're Building the Platform for Agentic Development

Warp began with the vision of reimagining one of the fundamental dev tools—the terminal—to make it more usable and powerful for all developers. As AI has advanced, Warp has evolved beyond its terminal roots into the platform for Agentic Development: a workbench for dispatching agents to code, deploy, and debug production software.

With over half a million active developers and revenue that has grown 16x this year so far, we are in a unique position to impact the future of development. We believe that soon developers will be “tech leads” for groups of agents; rather than opening a code editor to write code or a terminal to write commands, they will open Warp and prompt their computer to build features, fix bugs, and diagnose production issues.

With its starting point as a reimagined command line, Warp is well-positioned to support agent-first workflows: It sits at the lowest level in the dev stack, has access to all of a developer’s context, and is set up for multitasking and long-running processes. In addition, Warp has state-of-the-art code editing features and built-in team knowledge sharing. It’s the right interface for the agentic future.

Our mission has remained the same even as AI has advanced: to empower developers to ship better software more quickly, freeing them to focus on the creative and rewarding aspects of their work.

For more information on our team and culture, we highly recommend reading our How We Work.

Why Growth Engineering?

Warp is rethinking how software engineers write code — moving from “coding by hand” to “coding by prompt.” To succeed, we need to help developers discover, adopt, and unlock the full power of AI-assisted development.

We’re hiring a contract Growth Engineer to accelerate Warp’s highest-priority growth initiatives. You’ll work closely with the Growth and Product teams to design, build, and ship experiments that improve user acquisition, activation, and monetization. This is a fast-paced, high-impact role focused on building and iterating on onboarding flows, in-product education, and conversion-driving features.

You’ll play a key role in shaping how developers first experience Warp and how they integrate it into their workflow.

This is a 3-month contract position with the opportunity to transition to a full-time role, contingent upon performance and business needs.

As a Growth Engineer (Contract), you will…

  • Build and ship growth experiments across onboarding, pricing, referrals, and more
  • Improve the performance of our self-serve funnel via frontend and backend changes
  • Collaborate on A/B tests, analytics instrumentation, and campaign landing pages
  • Debug issues across the stack and move fast from idea to live test
  • Contribute to the growth strategy and roadmap

You may be a good fit if...

  • 5-7 years of software engineering experience with the ability to contribute to complex production environments.
  • Comfortable working across the stack (we use Rust for our client app and go + react for our server, but prior language knowledge is not required - we value adaptable engineers.)
  • Experience building for growth: funnels, experiments, or growth-focused features
  • Data-driven and scrappy: you care about results and think in a hypothesis-driven way
  • Available to start quickly and commit full-time for 3 months

Individuals seeking employment at Warp are considered without regards to race, color, religion, national origin, age, sex, marital status, ancestry, physical or mental disability, veteran status, gender identity, or sexual orientation.

Compensation Transparency

Competitive hourly compensation of $75-$95/hour based on experience, with the opportunity to transition to a full-time role including base salary, equity, and comprehensive benefits after the initial 3-month contract period.

Re-creating the command line to be more useable, humane, and powerful for everyone.

Warp is modernizing the command line experience to make it more intuitive and collaborative for modern developers and teams, turning the terminal into a real platform to enable engineering workflows. Our mission is to elevate developer productivity, and the team is excited to have this opportunity to radically improve a tool that every developer uses and fundamentally change how software development and devops are done.

We care deeply about design and user experience and are trying to improve the design of a tool that traditionally has had a horrible UX. Warp is changing how every software engineer works with the terminal, one of their core tools, which hasn’t been redesigned in decades. We’re looking for outstanding product designers to join our early team to help reimagine how developers get more done; we need to build this product the right way from the start. It needs to be intuitive, seamless, and delightful.

The command line is both incredibly powerful and annoyingly hard to use. It hasn’t been updated since its introduction in the 1970’s, and this stagnation certainly shows in today’s user experience. Even though the terminal is a tool that every developer uses everyday, it has a notoriously steep learning curve: it doesn't work like other tools, nothing in it helps you learn how to use it well, it's very easy to make destructive mistakes…the list goes on. For all these reasons, getting comfortable with the terminal can take quite some time. But for those who do learn how to use it well, they can greatly improve their productivity and workflow — getting much more done in less time.

Our Ethos

The command line is both incredibly powerful and annoyingly hard to use.

Master it and gain super-powers: from controlling your cloud systems, to manipulating local files and programs, writing quick workflows and more...it's a developer's swiss-army knife.

Despite its power, it's a very hard tool to master. It has a notoriously steep learning curve - it doesn't work like other tools, nothing in it helps you learn how to use it well, it's very easy to make destructive mistakes, and so on.

Many developers avoid it for these reasons. But for those who do learn how to use it well, they become much better at development and devops. Mastering the CLI lets you work faster with your existing tools, and increases their power because a keyboard driven, repl-style interface has many advantages over GUIs.

At Warp, our goal is to re-create the command line as a modern app, making a more usable, humane and, ultimately, more powerful CLI for everyone.
