Software Engineer

What You'll Do

• Design, build, and ship features end-to-end across a TypeScript/React frontend and a TypeScript/Python backend.
• Own and extend integrations and backend services (LoanPro, HubSpot, internal APIs), and be the accountable owner for at least one as you ramp.
• Add tests, monitoring, and instrumentation to raise reliability and catch issues before customers do.
• Investigate and resolve production issues, driving down recurring errors over time.
• Participate in code review, design discussions, and planning, communicating proactively in a Slack-first team.
• Use AI coding tools and automation to work faster and reduce manual, repetitive work.

Qualifications

• 4+ years of professional software engineering experience shipping production software.
• Strong full-stack ability with a backend lean, hands-on with TypeScript/React and Python.
• Demonstrated experience owning services, APIs, or integrations end-to-end.
• A working discipline around testing, monitoring, and reliability.
• Experience at an early-stage startup (seed/Series A–B) is a strong plus.
• Hands-on experience building with LLMs or AI tooling is a strong plus.
• Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, high-growth environment where priorities shift and processes evolve.
• 1+ year of experience working in a remote or distributed environment is preferred.
• Self-directed, accountable, and proactive — thrives where the playbook is still being written.

What Success Looks Like

• You ship your first production change in week one and are independently delivering features end-to-end within 90 days.
• You take full, accountable ownership of at least one integration or backend service.
• Your areas are measurably among the most reliable we run — well-tested, well-monitored, and low-noise.
• You adopt AI into your workflow and are eager to find tech-forward ways to gain efficiency and reduce manual work.
