Senior Software Engineer

Consultants are staffed across industries early on, then specialize after a few years. Our practices cover strategy, operations, technology implementation, risk and human capital.

Role overview

We need another Senior Software Engineer who likes owning a feature from the design doc all the way to the on-call rotation. Remote, open to candidates across the US. Hours are flexible, with one short team call each morning. We ship you a laptop and accessories before your first day.

Day to day

• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.

• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.

What you need

• 5-7 years of professional software development experience.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.
• Strong skills in at least one of Python, Java, Go, C# or TypeScript.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.

Preferred qualifications

• Background in payments, fintech or another regulated domain.
• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ.
• Contributions to open source projects.

The base pay range for this position is $235,000 to $275,000/year. Actual pay depends on experience, skills and location.

Perks and benefits

• Health, dental and vision coverage starting on day one.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Paid holidays.
