Software Engineer - Job Description

Overview

We're on the hunt for a Software Engineer who thrives in fast-paced, customer-centric environments. Our team values critical thinking, pragmatic execution, and collaborative iteration. We favor humans over bureaucracy, working software over ceremony, and feedback loops over rigid roadmaps. If you enjoy solving real problems with real people, you'll fit right in.

Core Technical Requirements

Programming Languages

If you've wrangled any C-style syntax, you're halfway there.

- JavaScript (bonus points if you've tamed its quirks).

Cloud Infrastructure

AWS experience is non-negotiable. Familiarity with the following services will make your life easier:

- AWS Lambda

- API Gateway

- DynamoDB

- Redis

- PostgreSQL

Infrastructure as Code & CI/CD

You should be comfortable with declarative infra and automated pipelines. We use:

- Terraform

- GitHub Actions

(Or similar tools - experience with the concepts is important.)

Development Practices

You should either have experience with - or a strong sense that you'd thrive in - the following:

- Git & GitHub workflows (pull requests, code reviews, small-team collaboration)

- Writing and maintaining unit, integration, and end-to-end tests

- Observability practices (logs, metrics, traces - the good stuff)

- Genuine Agile:

 - Individuals and interactions > processes and tools

 - Working software > comprehensive documentation

 - Customer collaboration > contract negotiation

 - Responding to change > following a plan

 - (No SCRUM rituals here - just real agility)

Preferred Qualities

- Engineering Mindset:

 - You debug with precision and design with restraint

 - You favor simple, maintainable solutions

- Comfortable with ambiguity - you iterate toward clarity, not wait for it

- Communicate with empathy and directness, whether in team syncs or customer feedback loops

Bonus Skills (Nice to Have)

- TypeScript, Zod, or schema validation experience

- Linux-first workflows (WSL counts!)

- Strong opinions on developer ergonomics
