Senior Software Engineer

The company:

We manage apartments, townhomes and single-family rentals for individual owners and investors. Homeowner associations hire us for accounting, vendor management and board meeting support.

The position:

We are adding a Senior Software Engineer to our operations team. 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. Remote position. Most of the team is in Sri Jayawardenepura Kotte, but nobody is required to come in. Most of our work is async, and meetings are kept short. Strong written English is important, since much of our work is async.

Main duties:

Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk. Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense. Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items. Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it. Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana. Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.

Qualifications:

5-7 years of professional software development experience. Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design. Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI. Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure. Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.

Pluses:

Contributions to open source projects. Prior work at an early-stage startup. Infrastructure as code with Terraform.

What you get:

Salary: LKR 330,000 - LKR 390,000 per month

Medical insurance for you and your family. Paid leave. Learning budget. EPF and ETF contributions. Flexible hours. Company laptop.

We are reviewing applications as they arrive, so apply early.

We may close this posting early once we have enough applications.
