The Senior Software Engineer will contribute to our rapid product development pace. We work collaboratively to set the technical direction for our SaaS products, developing easy-to-use solutions for our customers. Our engineers find deep satisfaction in building things that customers actually need.

Your impact

• Develop scalable, robust, and simple web-based solutions to solve complex business problems
• Formulate, implement, and evaluate algorithms and database queries to support SaaS scalability and stability.
• Implement new features and optimize existing ones to drive maximum performance
• Use test-driven development, code reviews, and continuous integration to deliver high-quality software, and rapidly fix bugs as they come up.
• Work closely with, and incorporate feedback from other engineering team members, QA, and product owners
• Leverage agile practices in start-up mode, encourage collaboration, prioritization, and urgency to develop at a rapid pace
• Research, share and recommend new technologies and trends
  
  

Qualifications

• Strong familiarity with Agile software development processes: Scrum or Kanban
• Strong familiarity with Test-Driven-Development
• Creativity, ability to solve complex problems without a roadmap
• You love learning about new technologies, but understand the value of continuing to use something old if it still does everything you need it to do
• You care about the long-term maintainability of the codebase and will learn to advocate for refactoring and clean-ups where appropriate
• You care about work-life balance and want your company to care about it too; you'll put in the extra hour when needed but won't let it become a habit
  
  

Must have

• 5+ years of hands-on experience (outside of internships and education) developing web-based applications, preferably in a SaaS environment.
• Experience working in APIs, databases, and other web and cloud technologies
• Proven experience working across all levels of the development stack
