Senior Software Engineer
Posted Updated
Description
- We’re hiring one Senior Backend Engineer to own and drive meaningful initiatives end-to-end. This isn’t a ticket-taker role. You’ll scope work, make the calls, navigate tradeoffs, gather feedback, ship to production, and maintain what you build — collaborating with a small team throughout
- End-to-end ownership. You can drive a medium-sized initiative from requirements to production with minimal hand-holding. You unblock yourself, communicate tradeoffs clearly, gather feedback on your plans, and ship. You take long-term responsibility for what you build
- Agentic coding fluency. You use AI coding tools — Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or equivalent — every single day. You have real opinions about what works and what doesn’t. This is how our team operates, and we expect you to operate the same way
Benefits
- Benefits for the Best You - We want our employees and their families to thrive. In addition to comprehensive benefits we offer holistic mind, body and lifestyle programs designed for overall well-being
- Base Pay - We attract and retain the best talent with competitive compensation that aligns with industry benchmarks and merit programs yearly for promotions and salary increases based on performance, time in role, and position to market
- Bonus - When you crush it, we like to celebrate! Bonuses are awarded annually in connection with company and individual performance
- Equity - We offer each employee a generous equity award in the form of RSUs, so they can directly feel the results and success of their hard work
- Vacation & Time Off - We know everyone’s needs are different so we offer flexible paid time off plans including an unlimited vacation option for many employees
- Hybrid Working Model - We offer flexible hybrid remote working models to promote equity, employee wellness, and work life balance
- Product sense — you’ve worked on user-facing surfaces and have genuine opinions about them
- Backend technologies — strong engineers learn fast; proficiency in any backend stack is the baseline. Experience with Python, FastAPI, or Node is a plus
- Background — you’ve likely worked at companies like Indeed, Atlassian, Amazon, Google, Apple, or Meta, and you’re ready to trade some of that comp ceiling for real ownership and impact
- 4–8 years of backend engineering experience. What you’ve shipped matters more than your title or years on paper
- Generalist application engineer — primarily backend, but comfortable jumping to the frontend or data layer when needed. You’ve shipped major projects used by paying customers
- Strong ownership, independence, curiosity, and a collaborative mindset
- Background in HR tech or the recruiting domain
- Startup experience where you owned a domain, paired with big-company engineering rigor
