Software Engineer I (Remote)

Who we are:

Founded in 2003, the business writes the billing, metering and customer portal software that small water and electric utilities run on. On-call rotates weekly and pays a flat stipend whether or not the pager goes off.

What this job is:

This is a new position created as the team has grown over the last year. The Software Engineer I (Remote) will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design. Our operations team is six engineers and we're adding one more. Most of the work is backend services, with some internal tooling.

What you'll work on:

• Design, build and maintain services in Python, Go or Java that handle real customer traffic.
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed.
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items.
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Take part in an on-call rotation (roughly one week in six) and help resolve production incidents.

About you:

• 1+ years of professional software development experience.
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers.
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.

Bonus points:

• Kubernetes and Docker in production.

What we offer:

• Wellness allowance.
• Monthly internet allowance.
• Co-working space stipend.
• Annual team retreat.
• Annual learning budget.
• 20 days paid time off.
• Public holidays observed per your country.

If you are shortlisted, we will reach out to set up a first call.

Start: Flexible.
