The compensation packages they were offering seemed great - but that was a while back. I wonder if the compensation packages are still competitive now that they are growing rapidly.

Unfortunately, the job posting does not specify the compensation packages. It's best to inquire about this during the interview.

I think working with Y Combinator could help open up some great opportunities for career development. It could also help improve your network within the startup scene.

As a Senior Backend Engineer, you will most likely work directly with the startup founders and get to know them. So, it can be an excellent opportunity to learn and grow as an engineer and entrepreneur!

Is there any remote work available, or do you have to work at their office physically?

They do mention that remote applicants are welcome, but the specifics of the remote work setup usually depend on the particular role and team.

I think the most significant challenge for any Senior Backend Engineer will be maintaining top-notch security and performance across multiple infrastructure components while the user base and feature set continuously expand.

Yes, and the challenge is only compounded when you add remote team members to the mix. Seamless communication and effective collaboration become vital in that scenario.
