About the RoleWe're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to take on meaningful ownership of our platform and deliver features that directly impact the business. You'll work across the stack, make real technical decisions, and ship end-to-end. This is a role for someone who's moved past needing close direction. You see what needs to be done, you build it well, and you make the people around you better in the process.
In this role, you will:- Build and ship features across our Rails backend and Typescript+React frontend
- Play a crucial role in bringing solid engineering principles into multiple legacy codebases
- Own your work end-to-end; from technical design through implementation, testing, and deployment
- Collaborate directly with product and design to refine requirements and deliver solutions that move business metrics
- Write clean, well-tested code and contribute to improving our engineering standards
- Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback that raises the quality bar
- Identify and address technical debt, bugs, and performance issues proactively
- Contribute to architectural discussions and help the team make sound technical decisions
Who you are- An experienced product engineer with strong systems thinking abilities; you should be comfortable asking questions and improving the ideas that shape product iteration as well as executing on product vision
- Significant professional software engineering experience, with strong experience in Typescript+React, Ruby+Rails, and RDBMS (we use Postgre)
- You have experience with modern testing philosophies and can actively improve test suites that are slow, nondeterministic, or need updated practices
- Bonus: You have experience automating workflows, using Playwright, Slack bots, and other tooling
- You've shipped meaningful features or systems and can point to work you owned and delivered
- Solid technical fundamentals; you write clean code, think about edge cases, and care about quality
- You introduce and discuss modern tooling and libraries that solve recurring problems in the codebase
- You are relentless in pushing for simplified patterns in the code and you have examples of systems you've simplified.
- You have built out tooling (CI/Editor) to enforce improved coding practices across a codebase and improve developer experience.
- You have experience with writing component and e2e-level visual browser tests and know when to use each.
- Comfortable working across the stack; you're not precious about frontend vs. backend
- Strong collaborator who communicates clearly with both technical and non-technical teammates
- Self-directed: You take initiative, manage your own work, and don't wait to be told what's next
- Experience in a startup or high-growth environment preferred
- You're comfortable using AI coding tools when they speed up implementation, debugging, or test writing, but you don't rely on them to replace engineering judgment.
