Senior Software Engineer

A bit about us:

Advisors, operations, compliance and technology teams total roughly 7,000 people. Since 1955, the firm has grown through acquisitions of independent advisory practices.

The role:

This is a backfill for a team member who moved to another team. Switchgrass is hiring for the Senior Software Engineer role on our Core Services team. You'll write, test and ship code that runs in production every day. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. This is a full-time remote role. We use an employer of record in Pakistan, so you get a proper employment contract, not a freelance agreement. Our standups are at 9:00 AM Pacific.

Duties:

Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense. Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items. Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags. Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed. Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.

Who you are:

7+ years of professional software development experience. Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design. Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers. Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line. Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL. Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.

What we offer:

Salary range: PKR 500,000 - PKR 590,000 a month

Flexible hours. Performance bonus. Monthly internet allowance. Two weeks of paid leave at year end. Wellness allowance. Annual team retreat. Co-working space stipend.

Please submit your CV in English.

Start: Flexible.
