Software Engineer

About us

Small enough that you will talk to clients directly in your first week. Every report is written by the person who did the testing, not a separate writing team.

About the role

We need another Software Engineer who likes owning a feature from the design doc all the way to the on-call rotation. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. Remote, open to candidates across the US. Flexible schedule. We have one team call a day, usually in the morning.

In your first few months you will

• 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
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense
• Keep dependencies current and patch findings from Dependabot or Snyk
• Write unit and integration tests and keep the CI pipeline green
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items

What you bring

• 2+ years of professional software development experience
• Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms and basic system design
• Some exposure to AWS, GCP or Azure
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI

Nice to have

• Kubernetes and Docker in production
• Event-driven systems using Kafka or RabbitMQ

Benefits

Compensation: $133,000 - $159,000 a year

• Health, dental and vision coverage starting on day one
• 401(k) with a 100% match up to 5%
• Paid holidays
• Referral program

We review applications on a rolling basis.
