About the company

At the company, we're on a mission to grow the small business economy. We handle the hard stuff — payroll, health insurance, 401(k)s, and HR — so owners can focus on their craft and their customers. With teams in Denver, San Francisco, and New York, we support more than 500,000 small businesses nationwide and are building a workplace that reflects the people we serve.

All full-time employees receive competitive base pay, benefits, and equity (RSUs) — because everyone who helps build the company should share in its success. Offer amounts are determined by role, level, and location. Learn more about our Total Rewards philosophy.

AI is a fundamental part of how work gets done at the company. We expect all team members to actively engage with AI tools relevant to their role and grow their fluency as the technology evolves. AI experience requirements vary by role and will be assessed during the interview process.

About the Role:

As a Sr Staff Software Engineer on the Entity Management team, you will lead the technical development of a new product that will remove the burden of compliance for our entrepreneurs, helping them focus on growing their business without worrying about paperwork. You will be responsible for executing key technical initiatives within the team roadmap, collaborating with cross-functional stakeholders, and mentoring engineers. If you are passionate about driving innovation and making a significant impact, we would love to have you join our team.

About the Team:

The Entity Management team is responsible for building and maintaining tools that help small businesses manage the entire lifecycle of their legal and compliance needs, including incorporation. This means supporting business owners from the very first step of getting their company incorporated, all the way through ongoing compliance, account monitoring, and even dissolution if needed. The team’s mission is to simplify and automate these often complex, time-consuming processes, so business owners can focus on growing their business without worrying about government regulations.

Here’s what you’ll do day-to-day:

• Execute on the technical roadmap for the new product within your team's scope, ensuring alignment with overall business goals and Entity Management objectives.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including Product Management, Design, Customer Support, and Marketing, to deliver high-quality solutions.
• Mentor and guide engineers on the team, fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement.
• Develop the team’s software development process and technical approaches to ensure efficient and effective project execution.
• Drive the implementation of new functionality in legacy systems to enhance support for the new customer base.
• Serve as a technical leader within the team, designing solutions and overcoming technical challenges to drive the project forward.
• Participate in code reviews and provide constructive feedback to maintain code quality standards.

Here’s what we’re looking for:

• 10+ years of professional software development experience, including experience leading greenfield product development.
• Ruby on Rails, Typescript, and React experience is preferred but not required.
• Experience collaborating with cross-functional teams, including Product Management, Design, and Marketing.
• Strong mentorship skills with a track record of fostering a culture of continuous learning and improvement within a team.
• Experience acting as a technical leader, solving complex problems, and driving innovation.
• Ability to develop and enhance the team’s software development processes and technical approaches.
• Excellent communication skills, capable of explaining complex technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders.
• Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field, or equivalent professional experience.
