Job summary

Matcha is seeking a Senior Software Engineer to own a full-stack product surface within our platform. You’ll work in a trio with a Product Owner and another engineer, using AI-augmented workflows to move fast and ship high-quality code.

You’ll design architecture, mentor teammates, ensure production health, and collaborate on platform-wide standards. This role is fully remote for U.S.-based candidates, ideally in Central Time, with compensation: $170k–$200k annually.

Qualifications

• 7+ years of professional software development experience owning full-stack features end to end.
• Strong production experience with Node.js, React, PostgreSQL, and modern HTML/CSS.
• Production experience with AWS, CI/CD pipelines, and the operational practices required to run customer-facing systems.
• Fluency with AI-assisted development workflows; you already use AI tools daily in your professional work.
• Sound architectural judgment across data models, APIs, and system design.
• Experience in an agile or continuous-delivery environment as a senior IC.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science or equivalent professional experience.

Responsibilities

• Own the technical architecture and quality of a defined product surface - including system design, code, tests, performance, and operational health of what ships
• Partner with your Product Owner as a trio; bring clarity on what’s feasible, what tradeoffs exist, and how to deliver scope on the timeline you’ve committed to, and push back substantively when specifications need refinement
• Build software using AI-augmented workflows as a core practice - drafting, reviewing, refactoring, testing, and documenting code with AI tools - and continuously raising your effectiveness with them
• Make architectural decisions and defend them - across data models, API design, integration patterns, and system tradeoffs; document your reasoning so others can build on it
• Mentor and develop the engineer you’re paired with - through code review, pairing, technical guidance, and modeling strong engineering practice
• Maintain production responsibility for your surface - including monitoring, incident response, performance, and the security posture appropriate to a platform serving regulated public sector customers
• Contribute to platform-wide engineering standards, tooling, and processes - not just your own surface
• Support enterprise sales and customer conversations with substantive technical depth when needed
• Write code that is correct, secure, maintainable, and tested - the AI accelerates you, but the work you ship is yours
