Job Description

• Design and build platform capabilities that deliver reliable, high-value features with safety, precision, and user focus. • Collaborate closely with product managers, designers, and fellow engineers to create new features and improve existing ones. • Approach the platform as a product: maintain a clear understanding of customer needs, identify friction points, and take ownership of outcomes with metrics-driven decision making (KPIs, OKRs, and North Star metrics). • Use data to inform decisions, measure impact, and drive improvements through empirical evidence. • Take ownership across all phases of development, from design to production, and monitor system performance in live environments. • Continuously improve the flow of work from idea to production, using data to identify and remove friction. • Write clean, efficient, and well-documented code following best practices. • Build and maintain APIs, and integrate with third-party services. • Ensure application performance, quality, and responsiveness across platforms. • Participate in code reviews, testing, and debugging to maintain high-quality deliverables. • Mentor other engineers and contribute to their growth. • Contribute to architectural decisions and help define technical standards and best practices. • Stay up to date with emerging technologies and suggest improvements to enhance development processes.

Job Requirements

  • 6–8+ years of full-stack engineering experience, with a track record of building systems, driving engineering standards, and setting technical direction.
  • Experience building for both internal stakeholders and external users, including complex systems such as authentication, onboarding, or enablement features.
  • Hands-on experience with event-driven architecture, system integrations, and content management platforms.
  • You’ve led the design or delivery of meaningful systems that improved outcomes for users or teams.
  • Startup or early-stage company experience, ideally as a founding engineer, with a strong sense of ownership over what you build.
  • A pragmatic approach to tools and technologies, with the ability to explore alternatives and make recommendations to improve systems and processes.

Benefits

  • Salary range of $145,000 - $160,000 per annum
  • Competitive medical, dental, vision benefits
  • Opportunity to work remotely for a mission-driven company full of change-makers
  • Enjoy the freedom of flexible time off to balance work and personal life, ensuring you stay refreshed and productive.
  • 401k with 4% guaranteed match
  • Work environment that values balance and harmony with a deep commitment to diversity, equity and inclusion
  • Opportunity to travel and meet your team members in-person 2x per year
