Senior Software Engineer

We operate two 24/7 network operations centres and a security operations centre, staffed in three shifts.

The role

Our team is growing and we are hiring a Senior Software Engineer. 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 are headquartered in Washington and have been hiring remotely since 2020. We engage team members in India as full-time contractors. Most of our contractors have been with us for more than two years. You will need at least 4 hours of overlap with US Eastern time. You will need a stable internet connection and a backup power source (UPS or inverter).
