• You’ll be a senior member of an agile software development team, and a leading voice in your team’s design and implementation efforts.
• You’ll collaborate with peers to build and refactor code that is both readable and reliable due to its inherent lack of complexity.
• You’ll also look critically at what we’re building and how we’re building it, you’ll mentor, challenge the status quo, and you’ll originate ideas and activities that advance our craft.

• 4+ years as a software engineer
• Deep expertise in Java and Java framework ecosystems
• Passionate about writing testable code, and your non-complex test automation proves it
• Experience designing web services and service-oriented architectures
• Knowledge of IP networking, web protocols, and REST
• Familiar with relational and non-relational database systems
• You use AI tools for fun, to learn, and to enhance your work
• Passionate about the craft of software engineering
• You want to help your teammates succeed

Bonus Points

• You enjoy working the whole stack
• You want to own all aspects of our app including the front-end, back-end, and underlying systems
• You're familiar with developing enterprise applications
• You have worked with Docker containers and Kubernetes or even OpenShift
• You have experience with AWS or another cloud platform, and you “get” how scalable cloud applications are engineered
• You have worked with Docker containers and Kubernetes
• You have built AI Agents and understand agentic development

The Whole Person Promise

At Bandwidth, we’re pretty proud of our corporate culture, which is rooted in our “Whole Person Promise.” We promise all employees that they can have meaningful work AND a full life, and we provide a work environment geared toward enriching your body, mind, and spirit. How do we do that? Well…

• 100% company-paid Medical, Vision, & Dental coverage for you and your family with low deductibles and low out-of-pocket expenses.
• All new hires receive four weeks of PTO.
• PTO Embargo. When you take time off (of any kind!) you’re embargoed from working. Bandmates and managers are not allowed to interrupt your PTO – not even with email.
• Additional PTO can be earned throughout the year through volunteer hours and Bandwidth challenges.
• “Mahalo moments” program grants additional time off for life’s most important moments like graduations, buying a first home, getting married, wedding anniversaries (every five years), and the birth of a grandchild.
• 90-Minute Workout Lunches and unlimited meetings with our very own nutritionist.

Are you excited about the position and its responsibilities, but not sure if you’re 100% qualified? If you answered ‘yes’ to both of these questions, we encourage you to apply! You won’t want to miss the opportunity to be a part of the BAND.
