Software Engineer

About Panhandle Apps

Panhandle Apps is a 39-person software shop in Rutland. The founders still answer support tickets. Most engineers work remotely and come into the office one week a quarter for planning.

Role overview

Panhandle Apps is looking for a Software Engineer to join a small, steady team. Nobody expects you to know every framework. We want someone who writes clear code, tests it and asks good questions. This role is fully remote within the US. We keep meetings to a minimum and work mostly async. Clear written English is a must, as the team works across time zones.

Your responsibilities

• Debug performance problems using profilers, logs and tracing in Datadog or Grafana
• Work with product managers and designers to scope features and cut what isn't needed
• Maintain REST and gRPC APIs used by internal teams and outside partners
• Ship small, frequent changes behind feature flags
• 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
• Contribute to postmortems and follow through on the action items
• Migrate older modules out of the monolith where it makes sense

What we're looking for

• 2-4 years of professional software development experience
• Familiarity with Git, pull request workflows and CI tools like GitHub Actions, Jenkins or CircleCI
• BS in Computer Science or a related field, or equivalent practical experience
• Working knowledge of testing practices: unit, integration and contract tests

Compensation and benefits

Rate: $143,000-$166,000 annually

• Medical, dental and vision insurance
• 401(k) with a 100% match up to 5%
• Three weeks of PTO to start
• $1,000 home office setup budget

If this sounds like a fit, apply with a resume. A cover letter is optional.

Start: Immediately.
