Job description

  • Build full-stack features using Ruby on Rails and React (TypeScript) within a small, focused squad.
  • Own your product area end-to-end: from understanding real customer workflows and edge cases through to delivery, performance, and ongoing quality.
  • Contribute to architectural discussions and technical trade-offs, not just implementation.
  • Help translate product needs and constraints into clean, maintainable solutions.
  • Review code, mentor others, and raise the technical bar within your squad.
  • Engage continuously with customer context, building the kind of in-depth product understanding that improves your technical decisions over time., Small, cross-functional teams: one PM, one designer, and two to five engineers. Each squad owns a specific area of the platform end-to-end - backlog, quality, performance, and all. What areas of the product do squads own? We have verticals across Workflow, Candidate Experience, Onboarding, Marketplace, Platform & Reporting, and Integrations, alongside an AI squad and a Delta Squad for fast-moving, complex client work. Engineers typically join a squad and build deep context in that area over time. Do engineers do support rotations? No formal rotation. Dedicated support teams handle incoming tickets, though engineers may occasionally help with technically complex issues in their area. What does 'senior' mean here? You're a strong individual contributor who takes real ownership, contributes to technical direction, and helps raise the standard of the people around you. This isn't a people management role. What's the sprint cadence? Two-week sprints. How do you handle QA and technical debt? Quality is owned by the team. We have strong automated testing and encourage engineers to address technical debt as part of their day-to-day work, not in a separate cleanup sprint. What does the first 90 days look like? By 30 days: you're comfortable with the codebase, the stack, and your squad's product area. By 60 days: you're shipping independently and contributing to squad planning. By 90 days: you're a trusted owner of your area-making technical decisions, raising quality, and building genuine product context.

Requirements

Do you have experience in TypeScript?, * 5+ years of professional software engineering experience building production web applications.

  • 3+ years of production experience with Ruby on Rails.
  • 3+ years building React applications in a production environment.
  • Comfortable working with TypeScript (our frontend codebase uses it throughout).
  • Background in startup or scale-up B2B SaaS environments.
  • Comfortable operating in ambiguity and taking end-to-end ownership.
  • Experience working on multi-persona, workflow-heavy SaaS products.
  • Strong written communication - clear, direct, and able to explain technical decisions to non-engineers.
  • Technically curious with a genuine interest in the problem space, not just the code.
  • Experience writing automated tests (RSpec, Jest, or similar).

Benefits & conditions

We want Pinpoint to be the best place you've ever worked-somewhere you feel valued, supported, and excited to grow. Here's what you'll get:

  • Comprehensive healthcare - Excellent medical, dental, & vision coverage for you and your family

  • Mental health support - Unlimited, immediate access to professional counseling via Spill
  • Retirement contributions - 401k or pension contributions depending on your location

About the company

We're a high-growth HR tech company building software that helps in-house recruitment teams attract, hire, and onboard the right talent. Today, we have a strong foundation in place, with a mature product, rapid growth, strong product-market fit, and happy customers. As the business scales, we're moving away from large horizontal teams toward small, verticalized squads, each one owning a specific area of the platform end-to-end alongside a product manager and designer. We're hiring Senior Software Engineer who are genuinely excited by that model. This isn't a role for engineers who build what they're told. You'll be embedded in the problem from the start: understanding real customer workflows, debating trade-offs, shaping solutions, building them, and standing behind them in production. There's no separate discovery phase, no handoff, and no "throw it over the wall" model. Squads own performance, reliability, and quality for everything they build. We want engineers who build deep context over time and use that understanding to make better product decisions every day, not bespoke client solutions. If you care about owning a problem space, not just shipping tickets, this role was built for you. The fine print (but a bit more exciting): * This is a remote role based in the UK or Poland, with occasional in-person team meetups. * Our product is a configurable, platform-style ATS serving multiple personas: recruiters, hiring managers, and operations teams across a wide range of complex workflows * Our stack is pragmatic and maintainable: Ruby on Rails (6.x), React with TypeScript, PostgreSQL, Sidekiq, and CI/CD via CircleCI (moving to GitHub Actions). * Pinpoint is still very much in startup mode. Priorities shift, not everything is perfectly defined, and we expect people to operate well in that environment. * Our values actually matter here. We hire people who reflect them in how they work, collaborate, and make decisions., About Pinpoint We're changing the way companies hire, and rewriting the rules of recruitment. We're a high-growth HR tech company building software that makes hiring faster, fairer, and more human, fixing the broken processes that make it hard for great candidates and great companies to find each other. Founded in 2018, we bootstrapped our way to 500+ customers and $5M ARR before raising private equity funding in 2023 to support our next stage of growth. Today, we're a 90-person team across the U.K. and U.S., serving more than 1,000 organizations worldwide. We scale deliberately, with sensible unit economics and no layoffs, because we're building for the long term-not the next funding round. Our product is deep and configurable enough to support complex hiring workflows, yet simple enough for teams to love using every day. That balance is what makes Pinpoint different. We back it up with genuine care, including fast (under 90 seconds) support from real people who know the product. Our culture is built on genuine transparency and values we actually use to make decisions. Even as we've moved past early-startup noise, everyone here still shapes how we operate-taking ownership, staying curious, and solving problems proactively. As we scale, we balance structure with flexibility while holding ourselves to a high bar for respect and kindness. If you're excited by meaningful problems, high ownership, and working with smart, kind teammates, we'd love to hear from you.     If you require alternative methods of application or screening, you must approach the employer directly to request this as Indeed is not responsible for the employer's application process.
