# Software Engineer, Communities

Software Engineer, Communities About Tin Can 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). The Role A Tin Can is only as good as the list of people a kid can call. When a whole class or block gets Tin Cans together, the phone arrives with friends already on it. That’s Communities: hundreds of schools, neighborhoods, and groups have already bought Tin Cans together, and it’s one of the fastest-growing parts of the company. We’re looking for a Software Engineer to own the product side of it end to end. Today a community directory is set up by hand: an organizer collects families in a form, our team turns it into a roster, and every kid in it can call every other kid. You’ll make that something organizers and parents do themselves, down to the rule in our call
