What you need

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or a related field (or its equivalent) plus 3 years of professional software engineering experience
  • Experience developing production software using one or more general-purpose programming languages
  • Experience designing, building, testing, and operating production software or infrastructure
  • Experience working with cloud infrastructure, distributed systems, continuous integration systems, developer tooling, or backend services
  • Experience independently delivering well-scoped software engineering projects from technical design through production operation
  • Demonstrated experience using AI assisted development tools across multiple stages of the software engineering lifecycle

Nice to have

  • Experience with Kubernetes control-plane engineering, AWS, containers, or infrastructure as code
  • Knowledge of developer tooling, continuous integration systems, internal developer platforms, or shared test infrastructure
  • Experience building or operating ephemeral or production-like development and testing environments
  • Experience building APIs, services, command-line tools, test orchestration, or automation used by other engineers
  • Experience using AI-assisted development tools across the software engineering lifecycle or building AI-enabled developer workflows and automation

What you get

  • Competitive compensation, including base pay, bonus opportunities, and annual equity grants that vest quarterly
  • Retirement benefits including a 401(k) or Group Retirement Savings Plan with a company match of $2 for every $1 contributed, up to $15,000 annually

Worth weighing

  • Role involves significant collaboration with multiple teams, which may require strong interpersonal skills
  • Remote work is emphasized, but in-person collaboration is encouraged, which may not suit all candidates
