Principal Software Engineer

About Torchpost:

Everyone here is salaried. Nobody is paid on product sales. Planning is done in RightCapital and portfolios are managed in Orion. We started in 1990 and have grown to about 35 people.

This role opened up after a team member moved internally. Our operations team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. Remote position. Most of the team is in Milwaukee, but nobody is required to come in. Monday to Friday, regular working hours, flexible start and finish. You will need a reliable internet connection and a quiet place to work.

Duties:

• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• 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.

Qualifications:

• 7+ years of professional software development experience.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
