Senior Software Engineer

About us:

Profitable, no outside investors, and no plans to take any. We grow when customers pay us. Our product started as a side project in 2000 and now has a few hundred paying customers, mostly in Texas. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

The role:

Looking for a Senior Software Engineer who wants to stay somewhere for a while. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. Our operations team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. Remote within the US. The team meets in San Antonio once a quarter, travel covered. We send you a laptop and the accessories you need on day one.

What you'll be doing:

• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed.
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.

Skills and experience:

• 5+ years of professional software development experience.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.

Benefits:

Rate: $186,000 - $215,000 annually

• Medical, dental and vision insurance.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid sick leave.
• Employee discount.
• Life insurance.

New hires usually start two to three weeks after accepting an offer.

Start: Immediately.
