What Is Employee Growth Rate & Why Is It Important?
Looped is on a mission to deepen audience participation in live virtual events. Our traction has accelerated over the last few months, opening the doors to countless opportunities for high impact projects. Over 2000 top creators run events through Looped, including Lin-Manuel Miranda, Meghan Trainor, Khalid, BTS, Charlie Puth, AJ McLean, Joel McHale, Maren Morris, Ken Jeong, Bob Saget, and many more.
You’ll be forever part of the core team that shapes the culture and vision of the company. If you hope to start your own thing someday, this could be great preparation.
We are a small team, so we focus on shipping high value features and iterating on them quickly. Looped has been a remote-first company since 2018, with employees primarily in NYC, Los Angeles and the SF Bay area. Learn more about Looped at loopedlive.com.
We obsess over gathering fast, direct customer feedback. And our customers are celebrities, so expect to speak with them often.
As a senior engineer at Looped, you will own the end-to-end development of product features. You will lead system design and architecture, and see features through prototype, implementation, release, tracking, and further iteration. Ultimately, your goal is to delight users with both large new features and daily small product enhancements. Analytics and customer feedback will be used to gauge progress and drive improvements to the product.

Interview process
The Looped interview process consists of 3 one-hour technical interviews. They are conducted over a videochat screenshare with the interviewer. We believe in hiring for strengths rather than a lack of weakness—we choose the 3 interviews out of the following 5 options that best highlight the candidate’s skills.
- An exercise that requires building a command line game.
- A pair programming exercise that will involve debugging and refactoring buggy code.
- An exercise implementing a frontend feature that consumes an API endpoint and displays that information.
- A systems design interview where we go through the process of architecting a high-usage live communication application.
- A programming problem involving storing data and manipulating it in an algorithmically efficient way.
