Meet Your Future Neighbors

In conjunction with product management and design, the engineering team at Nextdoor is responsible for bringing to life the experiences that empower neighbors to build stronger communities and transform how people connect and engage with their local area. Working in small cross-functional teams, you’ll work in an agile environment that values code quality, learning quickly, and personal growth through collaboration and challenge.

You will collaborate with front end, back end, data science, infrastructure, and machine learning engineers to collectively improve the state of engineering at Nextdoor. All engineers are invited to join co-ops to facilitate continuous modernization and knowledge sharing.

At Nextdoor, we operate in an AI-first environment and expect every team member to actively use AI tools as part of their workflow. We aren't looking for prompt engineers; we’re looking for people who use tools like Claude, Gemini, ChatGPT, and Glean to challenge their own thinking and take full ownership of AI-assisted outputs.

We also offer a warm and inclusive work environment that embraces a hybrid employment model, blending an in office presence and work from home experience for our valued employees. The hiring team will go over these expectations with you if you are being considered for a role near one of our offices in San Francisco, Los Angeles, Chicago, Dallas, New York, and London. 

The Impact You’ll Make

As a Fullstack Engineer on Nextdoor’s Local Conversations team, you’ll join the Rewards & Incentives pod and help build product experiences that encourage meaningful participation in neighborhood communities. You’ll work across the frontend and backend, with a strong focus on building high-quality web experiences using React and Python/Django.

You’ll contribute to two evolving product areas to start. This is a highly hands-on engineering role. You’ll contribute to entity-relationship modeling, solution architecture, implementation, testing, and iteration, while partnering with product, design, and engineering teammates.

You’ll also participate in team operating practices, including a gradual on-call shadow rotation after onboarding and ramp-up. The team will review role-specific expectations with candidates during the hiring process.

What You’ll Bring to The Team

• Experience building and shipping software in a production environment
• Strong frontend fundamentals and experience with modern JavaScript and React. This is an important part of the role
• Experience with a server-side web application language; Python/Django experience is strongly preferred
• Familiarity with SQL and developing across frontend and backend systems
• Ability to break down product requirements, collaborate on technical approaches, and implement maintainable solutions
• Strong collaboration and communication skills, both verbal and written
• Ability to be flexible and adaptable in a dynamic environment
• Interest in contributing ideas and product perspective, not just executing predefined tasks
• 2+ years of software development experience and a demonstrated ability to own projects with increasing independence. Level will be determined based on experience and demonstrated proficiency
• Experience with Storybook or other component-driven development practices is a plus
• Eagerness to explore and apply AI tools and emerging technologies to reimagine how work gets done
• Willingness to participate in in-person Nextdoor events such as trainings, off-sites, volunteer days, and team building exercises, as applicable to your location
• Interest in building relationships with teammates and contributing to Nextdoor’s culture

Rewards

Compensation, benefits, perks, and recognition programs at Nextdoor come together to create our total rewards package. Compensation will vary depending on your relevant skills, experience, and qualifications.

The starting salary for this role is expected to range from $135,000- $200,000 on an annualized basis, or potentially greater in the event that your level of proficiency exceeds the level expected for the role. The salary range will be determined by the candidate’s geographic location.

We expect to award a meaningful equity grant for this role. With quarterly vesting, your first vest date will take place within 3 months of your start date.

When it comes to benefits, we have you covered! Nextdoor employees can choose between a variety of health plans, including a 100% covered employee-only plan option, and we also provide a OneMedical membership for concierge care.

At Nextdoor, we empower our employees to build stronger local communities. To create a platform where all feel welcome, we want our workforce to reflect the diversity of the neighbors we serve. We encourage everyone interested in our mission to apply. We do not discriminate on the basis of race, gender, religion, sexual orientation, age, or any other trait that unfairly targets a group of people. In accordance with the San Francisco Fair Chance Ordinance, we always consider qualified applicants with arrest and conviction records.

How to prepare and behave

This is editorial guidance, not information from the employer.

• Read the whole description and match your examples to its requirements; use the same words the posting uses where they are true for you.
• Research the employer before the interview: what it does, who its customers are and recent news; prepare two or three questions about the work.
• Arrive early (or log in early for a video call), dress one step above the daily dress code, and test your camera and audio beforehand.
• Answer with short stories: the situation, what you did and the result. Give numbers when you have them and never invent them.
• Be honest about gaps; say what you did to learn and how fast you can close them.
• Ask about the team, the first 90 days, how success is measured and the schedule; do not open with salary and time off.
• When pay comes up, know the market range for the occupation and your lowest acceptable offer before you answer; ask for the full package in writing.
• Send a short thank-you message within a day, mentioning one thing you discussed.
• Have code, data work or projects you can show, and be ready to think aloud: many technical interviews test how you reason, not only the answer.

The city

The job is in Dallas, TX. Below is what the official statistics say about living and working there.

How Dallas compares. Among the 120 largest places in Texas, Dallas is #3 by population, #112 for homeownership (#1 = highest), #42 for remote work (#1 = most), #46 for college degrees (#1 = most). Its county, Dallas County, is #8 of 254 counties for average pay ($89,284).

The place in numbers

Dallas has 1,307,930 residents (ACS 2020–2024), about 4.3% of the population of Texas. It covers 340 square miles of land, which works out to roughly 3,850 people per square mile. The median age is 33.4, 6% younger than the state median (33.4 against 35.6).

Housing

The median gross rent is $1,472 a month (rent plus utilities), 5% above the state median ($1,472 against $1,403). Over a year that is 25.0% of the median household income. US housing guidance treats housing as affordable when it takes 30% of income or less, so the typical household is under that line. The median home value is $320,700, which is 4.5 times the median household income ($70,518). 42.4% of households own their home, 32% below the state average (42.4% against 62.6%). A low ownership share points to a rental-heavy market with more apartments and shorter stays.

Work and pay

The Dallas-Fort Worth-Arlington, TX metropolitan area has 4,049,800 jobs in the BLS wage survey, and the median pay across all occupations is $51,440 a year, about the same as the national median ($51,440 against $50,980). The biggest occupation groups are office and administrative support (490,190 jobs, median $47,080); transportation and material moving (423,430 jobs, median $44,570); management (379,320 jobs, median $128,140). The area is most specialised in computer and mathematical (1.4 times) and management (1.3 times), where the share of workers is above the national share. The best-paying groups with at least 5,000 jobs are management ($128,140) and computer and mathematical ($121,440). In 2026M09 the unemployment rate of Dallas County was 4.2%. 68.6% of residents aged 16 and over are in the labour force. The city lies in Dallas County; its jobs, pay by industry and GDP are on the county page.

Getting around

Among workers, 66.6% drive alone, 2.1% use public transit, 2.1% walk, 15.8% work from home. 14.1% of workers commute 45 minutes or more, 17% below the state average (14.1% against 16.9%).

People and education

38.2% of adults aged 25 and over hold a bachelor's degree or higher, 13% above the state share (38.2% against 33.8%). 23.4% of residents were born outside the United States, 33% above the state share (23.4% against 17.6%). The poverty rate is 16.7%, 21% above the state rate (16.7% against 13.8%).

Climate

The warmest month is Aug, averaging 86°F (30.1°C), and the coolest is Jan at 44°F (6.4°C). About 921 mm (36 inches) of precipitation falls in a year; May is the wettest month (116 mm) and Jul the driest (55 mm). These values come from NASA satellite-based climatology on a grid of about 50 km, so they describe the wider area, not a weather station in the city.
