Full Job Description
The Opportunity

As a Senior Software Engineer (Full-Stack, Front-End Dominant) on Iru's Connect team, you'll join a small, high-ownership group building an integrations platform (iPaaS) that powers workflows across third-party systems (e.g., Slack, Microsoft Teams, Google Calendar). You'll play a leading role in establishing the front-end architecture for an internal admin product that's expected to become more customer-facing over time, while partnering closely with a backend-heavy team and growing into deeper platform work.

This is a role for engineers who thrive with ambiguity, want to own technical direction, and can ship quickly with strong product and engineering judgment.

Minimum Qualifications

  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience (or equivalent depth)
  • Strong experience with React
  • Strong front-end engineering experience building complex web applications with clear ownership of architecture decisions
  • Full-stack capability and willingness to contribute meaningfully beyond the UI (this is not a pure front-end role)
  • Comfort working in environments with ambiguity (e.g., front-end stack decisions still being made) and taking initiative to drive clarity
  • Experience building internal tools/admin surfaces and/or products used by technical or operational teams
  • Strong engineering judgment and ability to communicate tradeoffs clearly
  • Senior-level scope and maturity (this role is targeted at Senior level; not principal/staff scope)


How You'll Make a Difference Day to Day

  • Own front-end architecture from the ground up: Bring structure to an ad hoc front end, establish patterns for UI architecture, state management, performance, quality, and maintainability.
  • Build an internal admin product (with a customer-facing trajectory): Deliver end-to-end experiences for internal tooling that will increasingly matter to external users.
  • Operate as a true full-stack engineer: Expect a split of roughly 65-70% front end / 30-40% backend, with the role trending more platform/backend over time (after ~6 months).
  • Partner on platform and integrations work: Contribute to systems that abstract third-party vendor complexity and enable rapid integration development.
  • Make and document key technical decisions: Evaluate tradeoffs pragmatically and choose solutions that fit the team's needs-not trends.
  • Work with high autonomy: Identify what needs to be built, propose solutions, and execute with minimal hand-holding in a fast-moving environment.
  • Collaborate closely with a small team: Engage in code reviews and design discussions, raising the bar on engineering quality as the team scales.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with (or strong interest in) Python + FastAPI backend development
  • Experience with React and modern TypeScript/JavaScript front-end tooling (exact stack may be chosen/solidified by this hire)
  • Background in integration platforms, workflow automation, or iPaaS products (e.g., Paragon, Tines, n8n, Workato, Zapier)
  • Experience designing systems that interact with many third-party APIs and require pragmatic approaches to reliability, monitoring, and debuggability
  • Enjoyment of "builder mode" environments: small teams, high ownership, shipping quickly with real impact.
