Overview:

BE Learn is looking for a Software Engineer I 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 within the US. The team meets in Phoenix once a quarter, travel covered. Weekday working hours, with room to shift your day when needed. You need a reliable internet connection and somewhere quiet to work.

Responsibilities:

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

What you need:

• 1+ 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
• 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
• Comfortable working in Linux and on the command line

Benefits:

• Health savings account (HSA) with employer contribution
• 401(k) with company match
• 11 paid holidays
• Annual bonus
• $1,000 home office setup budget
• Life insurance

We are unable to sponsor visas for this position.

Interview process: a phone call, a meeting with the hiring manager, and a final conversation with the team.

Start: Immediately.
