About the role
About Fieldd
Fieldd is a fast-growing SaaS platform that helps service businesses streamline scheduling, dispatching, payments, customer communication, and day-to-day operations. We're a profitable, founder-led software company building products used by businesses around the world. Our team moves quickly, ships frequently, and focuses on solving real customer problems—not building features for the sake of building them.
About The Role
We're looking for a Software Engineer who loves solving problems, building products, and shipping meaningful work. This role is for someone who wants to accelerate their career by working on real-world challenges alongside a highly collaborative team. You'll work directly with product, design, leadership, and other engineers to build features that are used by thousands of businesses every day. We care far more about your ability to learn, think critically, and execute than where you learned your skills. Whether your experience comes from previous engineering roles, a bootcamp, personal projects, or a combination of all three, we're looking for people who can demonstrate real technical ability and a desire to continuously improve.
What You'll Do
- Design, build, test, and maintain production software
- Develop new product features across web and mobile platforms
- Work closely with product and design teams to bring ideas to life
- Participate in technical planning and architectural discussions
- Identify and solve performance, scalability, and reliability challenges
- Write clean, maintainable, and well-tested code
- Review code and provide constructive feedback to teammates
- Troubleshoot and resolve bugs across the platform
- Think through edge cases before features reach production
- Continuously improve internal systems, tooling, and development workflows
- Contribute ideas that improve both the product and engineering processes
Our Technology Stack
Our primary stack includes: Node.js, Angular, MongoDB, TypeScript, REST APIs, Cloud Infrastructure. Experience with the MEAN stack is highly valued, but not required. If you have worked extensively with Node.js, Angular, or MongoDB, be sure to highlight that experience in your application.
What We're Looking For
Technical Skills
- Experience building and maintaining web applications
- Strong understanding of modern JavaScript and TypeScript
- Experience working with APIs and backend services
- Knowledge of databases and data modeling
- Familiarity with version control systems such as Git
- Understanding of software engineering best practices and clean code principles
Traits That Matter
- Problem Solving: You enjoy tackling difficult challenges and finding practical solutions.
- Ownership: You take responsibility for your work and care about outcomes, not just tasks.
- Curiosity: You enjoy learning new technologies and continuously improving your skills.
- Collaboration: You work well with engineers, designers, product managers, and stakeholders.
- Attention to Detail: You think beyond the happy path and consider edge cases, performance, and maintainability.
What Success Looks Like
- Features are delivered reliably and with high quality
- Customer problems are solved through thoughtful engineering
- Codebases become easier to maintain, not harder
- Bugs and technical debt are proactively addressed
- Product ideas move from concept to production quickly
- Engineering contributes directly to company growth and customer satisfaction
In-Office, Austin TX
We work together, in person, every day. Engineering, product, sales, marketing, and leadership all sit under one roof on the east side of Austin. You'll see how a real SaaS product is built, sold, and scaled. You'll have direct access to decision makers, receive rapid feedback, and see the impact of your work immediately. If you prefer remote work or slow feedback loops, this likely won't be the right fit.
