Software Engineer III

About us

We are 2 people, all hands-on, and the founders still run engagements themselves.

About the role

O'Brien Security is hiring for the Software Engineer III role on our operations team. You'll write, test and ship code that runs in production every day. Fully remote. You can work from anywhere in the US. Normal working hours, Monday to Friday. Strong written English is important, since much of our work is async.

Day to day

• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk.
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green.
• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana.
• Improve the reliability of existing code instead of just adding features on top of it.
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags.
• Mentor junior engineers through pairing and code review.

What we're looking for

• 5-7 years of professional software development experience.
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design.
• Willing to join the on-call rotation once ramped up.
• Experience with relational databases such as PostgreSQL or MySQL, including writing efficient SQL.

Also helpful

• Kubernetes and Docker in production.
• Prior work at an early-stage startup.
• Background in payments, fintech or another regulated domain.

Compensation and benefits

$188,000 - $210,000 per year

• Dental insurance.
• Paid time off.
• Flexible schedule.

Send us your resume. No cover letter needed.

Start: Immediately.
