Job description

About the Role

We have 15 engineers and $80M in ARR. That ratio is intentional. Every engineer at Paraform plays a massive role in shaping the direction of the business.

What You’ll Work On

You will be building the systems and experiences that drive both sides of our marketplace, a core part of how Paraform connects companies with recruiters and candidates.

• User behavior and engagement: Understand user psychology and use it to shape how recruiters and hiring managers interact with the platform.
• Recruiter supply growth: Build the systems that bring new recruiters onto the platform, ramp them up quickly, and keep the quality bar high.
• Recruiter performance and incentives: Payments, incentive systems, and performance tooling that help recruiters do their best work on the platform.
• Role distribution: Ensure every open role on the platform gets the attention it deserves by balancing recruiter activity across the marketplace.
• Automation: Identify and automate manual processes that slow down recruiters, hiring managers, and internal operations.

What We’re Looking For

• 1–6 years of experience shipping high-quality code in a fast-paced environment.
• Ships fast: Take a well-defined problem and deliver a clean solution quickly.
• Impact-driven: Care about making the experience better for recruiters and hiring managers; excited when something shipped drives real hiring outcomes.
• Technically sharp: Move fast across the stack without sacrificing quality where it matters.

Why This Role

You’ll have design and product support, clear priorities, and a team that ships constantly. Your work will directly shape how thousands of recruiters operate and how companies make their most important hires. If you want to build at a company where engineers punch well above their weight and the product actually matters, this is the job.
