Senior Software Engineer

We’re hiring one Senior Backend Engineer to own and drive meaningful initiatives end-to-end. This isn’t a ticket-taker role. You’ll scope work, make the calls, navigate tradeoffs, gather feedback, ship to production, and maintain what you build - collaborating with a small team throughout., What You Bring

Do you have experience in Startup experience?, * 4-8 years of backend engineering experience. What you’ve shipped matters more than your title or years on paper.

• Generalist application engineer - primarily backend, but comfortable jumping to the frontend or data layer when needed. You’ve shipped major projects used by paying customers.
• Backend technologies - strong engineers learn fast; proficiency in any backend stack is the baseline. Experience with Python, FastAPI, or Node is a plus.
• Product sense - you’ve worked on user-facing surfaces and have genuine opinions about them.
• Strong ownership, independence, curiosity, and a collaborative mindset.
• Background - you’ve likely worked at companies like Indeed, Atlassian, Amazon, Google, Apple, or Meta, and you’re ready to trade some of that comp ceiling for real ownership and impact.

Bonus points:

• Startup experience where you owned a domain, paired with big-company engineering rigor.
• Background in HR tech or the recruiting domain.

We’re a small, fast-moving team building the recruiting infrastructure that powers how companies find and hire people. Our stack is Python + FastAPI on the backend with React frontends. The code you write goes directly into the hands of recruiters - real users, real impact, no layers of abstraction between you and the outcome., * Agentic coding fluency. You use AI coding tools - Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, or equivalent - every single day. You have real opinions about what works and what doesn’t. This is how our team operates, and we expect you to operate the same way.
