Senior Software Engineer

Compensation
$195,000–$250,000/year

Job Description

What you’ll be doing

  • You’ll conceptualize, design, build, and maintain complex services/platforms/features and develop ownership over large swaths of our product + infrastructure.
  • You’ll interact closely with our current + prospective customers, developing intuition around their biggest pain points and thinking of creative ways to address them.
  • You’ll play a critical role in shaping our engineering + broader company culture and help make this the best place we’ve ever worked.

Who you are

  • You have Bachelors of Science or Bachelors of Art in Computer Science, Computer Engineering, Math or other similar degree.
  • You have 8+ years of experience in a Software Engineering position. 
  • Experience with the technologies we currently use is a plus, but by no means required: Python, PostgreSQL, Docker, Kubernetes, React, Typescript, Google Cloud Platform, Auth0, Terraform.
  • You enjoy building high-quality software, but you also anchor on outcomes and have good intuition around which corners are worth cutting and which aren’t. 
  • You enjoy owning features end-to-end and are comfortable learning new tools or moving across the stack to do so.
  • You have a customer-first and learner’s mindset, and value teaching others.
  • You’re a clear and concise communicator; you enjoy the challenge of explaining complicated ideas in simple terms, both in-person and in writing.
