Backend Engineer

Lynn Digital builds scheduling and dispatch software for field service companies, from two-truck plumbing outfits to regional HVAC contractors. The product is a mobile app plus a React web dashboard, with a Python and PostgreSQL backend on AWS. Releases go out Tuesday mornings, never on Fridays.

Position summary

This role opened up after a team member moved internally. The Platform team owns services that process several million requests a day. We need another engineer who is comfortable owning them in production. This hire will help us split a large monolith into a handful of well-defined services without breaking anything customers rely on. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in Portugal, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. Core hours are 9:00 AM to 1:00 PM US Eastern. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.
