Software Engineer

More than 9,000 organisations use our HR and payroll suite, from regional hospitals to school districts. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

Role overview:

Brassline has an opening for a Software Engineer. Our Platform team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling. Remote position. Most of the team is in London, but nobody is required to come in. We do not have many meetings. Most updates happen in writing. You get a company laptop and a headset before you start.

In this role you will:

• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review
• 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
• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents

What you need:

• 2-4 years of professional software development experience
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design

Nice to have:

• Infrastructure as code with Terraform
• Contributions to open source projects
• Background in payments, fintech or another regulated domain
• Kubernetes and Docker in production

Pay: £77,000 - £101,000 per annum

What you get:

• Healthcare cash plan
• Company pension
• 33 days holiday including bank holidays
• Professional qualifications paid for
• Employee assistance programme

No agencies please.

Start: Within 30 days.
