Software Engineer

Headquartered in New York City, the company has grown since 1987 by acquiring regional IT providers. Across New York, the company runs 14 branch offices and a central depot for hardware staging and imaging.

Overview:

Ambercrest IT is looking for a Software Engineer to join a small, steady team. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. Remote, open to candidates across the US. You can set your own hours around a daily morning check-in. Please make sure you have a quiet place to work and a solid internet connection.

In this role you will:

• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.

Minimum qualifications:

• 2+ years of professional software development experience.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI.

The salary range for this role is $139,000 - $171,000 a year. This range reflects base salary only.

Pay and benefits:

• Health savings account (HSA) with employer contribution.
• 401(k) with a 100% match up to 5%.
