Senior Software Engineer, Partnerships

What You Will Work On

The Partnerships team builds the integrations, partner experiences, and platform foundations that enable the Justworks ecosystem to flourish beyond Justworks’ core capabilities.

• Independently own large-scale projects from technical discovery through launch, with a focus on quick, iterative release and customer impact
• Promote engineering excellence through technical leadership, knowledge sharing, and mentorship
• Collaborate with external partners to understand integration needs and deliver thoughtful, scalable solutions
• Build and improve platform infrastructure that makes partner integrations faster, safer, and easier to scale
