This role reports to our Engineering Manager and can be based anywhere in the US with a preference for California, Indiana, or New York. We are a fully remote team, but do gather local team members in San Francisco on a monthly basis. We have a strong preference for candidates located in the greater Bay Area, including Sacramento, CA, so they can collaborate in person with the rest of the team based in this region.

Our engineering team builds new features, improves security, and enhances both frontend and backend systems across our web and mobile apps. The engineer we hire can expect to start by contributing to our security enhancement projects across the stack as they onboard and learn our ways of working. Our onboarding includes meeting the global team, learning about our culture and working norms, and pairing on engineering projects.

Responsibilities

• Software Development: Design, develop, and maintain core systems, ensuring the reliability, performance, and scalability of our software platform. Support a mix of backend and frontend development efforts, with the majority of work focused on backend systems
• Technical Leadership: Contribute significantly to technical decisions, determining architectural design, and ensuring that best practices are followed in software development and systems design
• Code Quality: Write clean, maintainable, and efficient code. Conduct and participate in code reviews to uphold the highest standards of code quality
• System Design: Participate in technical design efforts for key software components and collaborate with product managers and other engineers to ensure smooth implementation of new features
• Collaboration: Work closely with cross-functional teams, including product managers, customer support, and external partners, to align on software requirements and deliver robust solutions
• Continuous Improvement: Contribute to a culture of continuous learning and improvement, optimizing development processes and exploring new technologies that can enhance the platform
• Security and Compliance: Ensure that all software adheres to security best practices and complies with relevant regulatory requirements

Required Skills, Attributes & Experience

• You have 4+ years of experience building, deploying and running fullstack applications in production environments
• You have experience working with complex React/Redux codebases, including implementing new features and improving existing components
• You have experience designing and implementing APIs at scale
• You have experience with AWS Cloud infrastructure (or similar)
• You value writing clean, maintainable code and producing thorough documentation
• You have a growth-oriented attitude, motivated to learn & grow while sharing knowledge with others
• You demonstrate excellent written and verbal communication skills
• You are comfortable working across time zones and countries; we partner with fellow engineers in Kenya and a multi-location team

Our Stack

• Frontend: modern JS with React/Redux
• Backend: Python with Flask, SQLAlchemy, and Celery
• Infrastructure: AWS with PostgreSQL, EC2, ECS, Lambda, and friends managed through Terraform
• Mobile: Android with Kotlin

We don’t expect you to have mastered every technology before you get here. Here, “full stack” means that you should expect to work across client and backend software as necessary, but you’re not expected to arrive as an expert in everything

To Apply

Please use the linked form to submit a resume and any other materials you'd like to share. Our interview process includes one or more phone calls, a skills assessment (coding take home via Byteboard), and interviews with people you'll be working with.
