Full Job Description
Skills Required
Technical skills:
Proficiency with Node, Typescript, and Python.
Good understanding of system design concepts - distributed systems, reliability/performance tradeoffs
Experience in API design, implementation, and documentation
Experience using AI coding tools (Cursor, Github Copilot, Claude, etc)
Experience working with CI/CD systems and good DevOps skills a nice to have
Excellent documentation and testing habits
Proficiency with version control (Git)
Soft skills:
10x mindset - you'll be among the first engineering hires!
You are a fun human!
Good time management and planning skills
Experience
4-7 years of experience (or equivalent) as a software engineer.
We're leveling this role to Pave's "P4" level:
Leads project teams, provides direction, and keeps stakeholders informed. Determines key milestones and provides updates and check-ins to relevant teams and partners.
You are able to work with the rest of the team to:
Define priorities
Suggest good solutions
Excel at implementation
You pick up concepts quickly, pattern match on past problems.
You are obsessed with speed and quality, and help embed that quality into the rest of the team.
You are self-directed, and do not need help organizing / prioritizing your time.
Specific project experience
Nice if you have worked on distributed architectures in the past, but not a strict requirement.
You must have experience working on projects touching many parts of a large codebase.
Personas - Who should apply?
Project lead at a scaling startup: You've worked at a scaling startup, leading projects that required you to: define requirements, effectively self-direct and set priorities, and touch many areas of a large code base.
Generalist: You don't need to be an expert in any one area of software engineering, but you do need to have experience across many areas of eng. You must know enough to be dangerous in many areas. e.g.) self-deployed K8s clusters, micro-services, etc.
Self-directed: You've led engineering projects from start to finish. This could be a large open source project, or building a feature in a past role.
Ambitious & effective: We are a team of ambitious builders who are out to win against our competitors. We want to make a big dent in the universe. And to do that, we need to sprint to capture the market before us.
Ownership mentality: You want to feel a sense of ownership for your work. And you want to have a meaningful chunk of equity - because you know that you can make an outsized contribution towards increasing the value of that equity.
