Associate Software Engineer

Everyone here is salaried. Nobody is paid on product sales. Planning is done in RightCapital and portfolios are managed in Orion. Compliance reviews outgoing client email, so expect to write carefully.

Role overview

This role opened up after a team member moved internally. This is a hands-on coding role on software used by a few hundred thousand people. Expect code review, design discussions and a fair amount of debugging. We need another Associate Software Engineer who likes owning a feature from the design doc all the way to the on-call rotation. You will be employed through our employer-of-record partner in Switzerland, with a local contract and salary paid in local currency. Core hours overlap with US Central time, 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM CT. We use Slack, Notion and Google Meet. Cameras on for team calls.

What you'll be doing

• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed.

You'll need

• 1-2 years of professional software development experience.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.

Perks and benefits

• Annual salary review.
• Wellness allowance.
• Performance bonus.
• Paid sick days.
• Flexible hours.
• Two weeks of paid leave at year end.

We look at every application, usually within a week.
