On Heartbeat, creators can build a tailored community with all the building blocks they need — threads, chats, voice calls, docs, calendars, user directory, matchmaking, analytics, integrations and more.

  • Building better moderation tools for community admins that allow them to thoughtfully manage their community

  • Enabling creators to monetize their community in a variety of ways by integrating in-app payments throughout the platform

  • Establishing our app ecosystem to allow external developers to build custom apps within Heartbeat

  • And much more!

  • A strong understanding of what well-designed software looks like

  • Experience working on a large project & developing features across the web stack
