Full Job Description
You will own well-scoped features from design to production, improve the reliability of the systems you work in, and solve problems alongside fellow engineers, product, and design. This position is a full-time role reporting to the Engineering Manager. We want you to be successful here at Tilt! Below is a description of your role and responsibilities, including the things you will be held accountable for and the virtues, behaviors, and competencies that are expected for this role.

Job Description: Roles & Responsibilities
  • Own well-scoped features and projects from technical design through production release: break the work into tickets, estimate effort, and deliver on the commitments you make, with senior engineers available for design review and guidance.
  • Reduce bugs and technical debt in the components you work in, leaving code easier to change than you found it.
  • Write automated unit and integration tests for the code you ship, keep the CI pipeline green, and use logs, metrics, and alerts to confirm your changes behave as expected in production.
  • Write readable, well-documented code, and give and receive code reviews that are specific, timely, and respectful.
  • Collaborate with peers to solve problems: pair on tricky bugs, talk through design options before building, and share what you learn about the parts of the codebase you know well.
  • Participate in stand-ups, backlog refinement, and retrospectives, bringing clear status, realistic estimates, and concrete suggestions for improving how the team works.
  • Raise risks, bugs, and blockers as soon as you see them, with enough context for the team and stakeholders to decide on next steps.
  • Bring architectural or cross-team questions to senior engineers and your Engineering Manager.
  • Take ownership of one or more product components and become a go-to person for how they work.
  • Participate in the team on-call rotation, triaging and resolving production issues with support from senior engineers.

You're a great fit if:
  • You have shipped full-stack features to production using Python/Django on the backend and React on the frontend.
  • You break larger problems into small, shippable pieces and give estimates your team can plan around.
  • You write automated tests as a normal part of your workflow and are comfortable shipping through a CI/CD pipeline.
  • You manage your own work: you time-box investigations and ask for help when you are stuck, rather than spinning for days.
  • You are comfortable starting work when requirements still have open questions, and you ask the questions needed to close them.
  • You pick up new tools, internal systems, and unfamiliar parts of a codebase quickly.
  • You adapt well when priorities or requirements change, and you treat those changes as a chance to learn.
  • You care about Tilt's mission and about the employees and employers who rely on our product during some of the most important moments of their lives.
  • You have experience working in startups and/or B2B SaaS environments.

Virtues/Competencies:

1. Health & Family First
  • You balance work and personal life effectively
  • You get things done at a pace consistent with the business needs
  • You show up and are reliable
  • You encourage others to put their health and family first

2. Autonomy + Team. Always
  • You are highly organized and can manage multiple priorities and deadlines at once
  • You are focused on scale and building - you understand that pace is equally as important as quality

3. Be Curious
  • When you don't have all of the answers, you dig in and ask questions
  • You don't let negative assumptions drive your actions and instead assume positive intent and find truth
  • You are intentional in discovering the paths of self development Tilt has to offer and seek out opportunities to engage in professional growth

4. Love Our Customers
  • You show empathy and compassion; you strive to meet people where they are to offer maximum support

5. Fearlessly Flexible
  • You go with the flow and deal with (lots) of ambiguity
  • You're not afraid to work without clear direction

Total Compensation

The projected annual salary range is $125,000 - $135,000 USD plus stock options (ISOs), because we believe everyone should have some stake in our business.

Additional benefits include:
  • Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision benefits paid at 100% for all employees and 50% for dependents.
  • 401k + match (100% match on the first 3%, 50% match on the next 2%)
  • $50 monthly to spend on "What Matters Most"
