StartupHeroes is looking for Software Engineers to build features, design and implement API methods, and improve the performance and reliability of our systems as we rapidly support products and organisations.
We build apps using reliable tools that our team knows and trusts, Kubernetes, Java, AWS, and MySQL. Expertise in these areas is a huge plus, but having familiarity with other common web languages (such as Python or Go) and other relational databases are fine substitutes. We’re a collaborative team who genuinely enjoys working together with a cross-functional team of product managers, designers, frontend, iOS, Android, automation, and quality engineers to make our apps a better. We are looking for engineers that understand that simplicity and reliability are aspects of a system to be carefully calculated with every decision made.
StartupHereoes has a positive, diverse, and supportive culture—we look for people who are curious, inventive, and work to be a little better every single day. In our work together we aim to be smart, humble, hardworking and, above all, collaborative. If this sounds like a good fit for you, why not say hello?
What you will be doing
- You'll brainstorm with Product Managers, Designers, Backend, and Frontend Engineers on your team to conceptualize and build new features for our products.
- You’ll produce high-quality results by contributing heavily to team projects that have a significant impact on the business.
- You’ll actively own team features or systems and define their long-term health, while also improving the health of surrounding systems.
- You'll assist our skilled support team and operations team in triaging and resolving production issues.
- You'll mentor other engineers and deeply review code.
- You’ll improve engineering standards, tooling, and processes
What you should have
- You’ve been building web applications professionally for 0+ years. :)

- You can contribute to technical architecture discussions and help drive technical decisions within your team.
- You write understandable, testable code with an eye towards maintainability.
