Software Engineer II

Who we are:

Clients range from single-location retailers to franchise groups with hundreds of stores, all running our point-of-sale and loyalty software. Laptops are MacBook Pros, and you pick your own editor.

The Software Engineer II will build and maintain services, APIs and internal tools, working closely with product and design. You'll write, test and ship code that runs in production every day. Remote position. Most of the team is in Las Vegas, but nobody is required to come in. Standard office hours, Monday to Friday, with flexibility around them. Good written English matters here, since most updates are written.

Main duties:

• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Break down product requirements into technical tasks and rough estimates.
• 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.

Qualifications:

• 3+ years of professional software development experience.
• 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.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure.

What you get:

Compensation: $127,000-$175,000 a year

• Health, dental and vision coverage starting on day one.
• 401(k) with company match.
• Three weeks of PTO to start.
• Vision insurance.
• Paid sick leave.
• Short- and long-term disability.
