Job description

Senior Software Engineer

Fully Remote, excellent package and incredible opportunity

Are you the kind of engineer who cares just as much about the why as the how? Do you enjoy shipping clean, reliable, and tested code but also want to help shape the product itself?

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join a fast-moving team building tools used by thousands of real-world users. You'll collaborate closely with Product, Design, and Customer Success to solve meaningful problems, not just tick technical boxes. You'll mentor others, contribute to architectural decisions, and engage directly with customers to make sure what you're building actually works for them.

What You’ll Be Doing

• Writing production-grade software in Ruby on Rails and React Native

• Leading on technical and architectural decisions across the stack

• Collaborating cross-functionally with Product, Design, and Customer Success

• Mentoring junior engineers and reviewing code with kindness and clarity

• Engaging with customers to understand pain points and improve the product

• Improving developer workflows, testing practices, and engineering processes

You’ll Thrive Here If You...

• Have deep experience in Ruby on Rails or a similar web framework

• Are confident with React or React Native

• Communicate complex ideas simply and clearly — both in code and conversation

• Value user needs over technical perfection

• Enjoy mentoring, sharing knowledge, and working in an open, feedback-driven culture

• Want to ship frequently and iterate fast — we’ve built great tools to support this

Why Join

• Autonomy: You’ll have real input into what we build, not just how

• Impact: Your code will ship to real users — often within hours

• Culture: Pragmatic, friendly, and focused on collaboration and learning

• Growth: We support personal development and welcome your ideas at every level
