Software Engineer III

Who we are

Chicago Data is a 47-person software shop in Chicago. The founders still answer support tickets. We keep recurring meetings to Tuesdays and Thursdays where we can.

About the role

We are adding headcount to this team, so this is a new seat. This is a hands-on coding role on software used by a few hundred thousand people. Expect code review, design discussions and a fair amount of debugging. This is a hybrid role. Most of the team is in the Chicago office Tuesday to Thursday.

What you'll do

• 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
• Review pull requests from teammates and give clear, specific feedback
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green

You might be a good fit if you

• 6+ years of professional software development experience
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design
• Ability to write clear technical documentation and explain decisions to non-engineers

Compensation and benefits

Rate: $179,000 - $215,000 per year

• Profit sharing
• 401(k) with 4% match
• Flexible schedule
• Vision insurance
• Hybrid work

Start: Immediately.
