About the role
We’re looking for a product-driven Senior Software Engineer to drive projects end to end, from unclear problems to shipped solutions focusing on impact. You’ll work across the stack as needed, partnering closely with product, design, data, and operations.
Success in this role means partnering with product to frame problems then taking them through production delivering secure, reliable, and maintainable systems.
You’re a good fit if you:
- Identify with our Engineering Values (Ownership, Collaboration, Growth, Excellence, Sustainability).
- Drive end-to-end delivery of complex features or critical workflows.
- Lead debugging of complex production issues calmly, using metrics, logs, traces, and data inspection to test hypotheses and find root causes.
- Support other engineers through mentorship, pairing, and code reviews.
- Ensure data integrity and confidentiality, including observability and auditing where relevant.
- Care about engineering excellence (reliability, testing, maintainability).
- Are comfortable working across the stack while developing depth in one or two areas over time.
- You use AI-powered tools to increase productivity and quality while retaining full ownership of decisions and outcomes.
What are we looking for:
- ~5+ years of experience building and shipping production software.
- Experience with web applications, APIs, and relational databases.
- Strong fundamentals in system design, debugging, and data modeling.
- Experience working with a mainstream language and web framework (e.g. PHP & Laravel, Ruby on Rails, Elixir & Phoenix).
- Solid experience with SQL and relational databases (e.g. MySQL/MariaDB, PostgreSQL).
- Experience writing automated tests (unit, integration, and end-to-end where appropriate).
- Experience collaborating in multidisciplinary teams (product, design, data, ops).
- Comfort operating in a high-ownership environment with changing priorities and quick iteration.
Current stack: PHP & Laravel, MariaDB, Vue.js, Inertia, Tailwind.
Experience with this stack is a plus, not a requirement. Languages and frameworks are tools - we care more about judgment and fundamentals.
Key Outcomes:
- Projects you lead move from problem framing to production reliably (typically 1–4 weeks), delivering clear value to users and the business.
- Complex problems are broken down into well-scoped phases, with risks and trade-offs surfaced and managed early.
- Technical decisions balance simplicity, reliability, and maintainability, resulting in systems that are easy to operate and evolve.
- The quality of the codebase and production systems improves through your contributions (structure, testing, observability).
- The team benefits from reusable patterns and shared solutions that reduce duplication and cognitive load.
How we hire:
- We aim to complete the process in ~2 weeks. There may be one additional step if needed.
- Recruiter call (15 min)
- Async exercise (time-boxed to ~2-3 hours)
- Miniapp exercise (time-boxed to less than a day)
- Engineering leadership (1 hour): technical depth, decision-making, and collaboration style.
- Peer/Pair (1 hour): get a feel for what working together would look like.
- Product leadership (1 hour): dive into how you approach user problems and trade-offs with our product leadership.
- Founders (1 hour): close the loop on vision, culture, and long-term fit.
