Full Job Description
Are you an experienced software engineer who thrives on solving complex technical challenges, building scalable systems, and leading by example?

We9re looking for Senior and Lead Software Engineers who are still hands-on, love to build, and are excited to architect solutions, mentor teammates, and own delivery from start to finish.

If you9re a builder at heart, comfortable with ambiguity, and love working on meaningful projects that make an impact - you9ll fit right in.

What You Could Be Doing

While every project we work on is different, below is a high-level overview of some of the responsibilities/hats you may wear:
  • Design and build scalable, production-grade software systems - backend APIs, platforms, integrations, services
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to translate business needs into technical solutions
  • Rapidly prototype ideas, validate concepts, and iterate quickly
  • Use modern development tools (including AI assistants like Copilot or Claude) to improve productivity - when it makes sense
  • Own technical architecture decisions and help shape engineering direction
  • Write clean, well-tested code, and lead by example in code reviews and design
  • Mentor teammates and contribute to a strong engineering culture
  • Communicate clearly with both technical and non-technical stakeholders

What You Bring to the Table

When you join our team, you9re a consultant first. This means there are core skills we expect out of each of our team members. These include:
  • 4+ years of professional software engineering experience
  • Proven ability to lead the design and implementation of complex systems
  • Hands-on experience with AI dev tools (Copilot, Claude, Cursor, etc.)
  • You9re still hands-on - comfortable writing, reviewing, and debugging code regularly
  • Solid knowledge of backend technologies (Python, Java, Node.js, .NET, etc.)
  • Familiarity with frontend frameworks (React, Next.js, etc.)
  • Rapid prototyping tools (Replit, v0.dev, Bolt, etc.)
  • Experience working in agile, cross-functional environments
  • Comfort navigating ambiguity and working on fast-moving projects
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills
  • Consulting mindset - solutions-focused, adaptable, and client-oriented

Bonus Points for Experience With:

We welcome engineers from diverse technical backgrounds - we care more about your ability to think, build, and lead, than ticking every box on a tool list.
  • Prior consulting, pre-sales engineering, or client-facing experience
  • Designing and scaling distributed systems, real-time or event-driven architectures
  • Working with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and containerization tools (Docker, Kubernetes)
  • Building and consuming RESTful APIs, GraphQL, or other service architectures
  • Infrastructure as code (e.g. Terraform, Pulumi) or DevOps tooling
  • Building CI/CD pipelines and automating development workflows
  • Test automation frameworks (e.g. Cypress, Playwright, Selenium)
  • Open-source contributions or participation in engineering communities

Benefits and Other Fun Stuff

Currently, the base salary range is estimated to be between $110,000 and $150,000.
