Senior Software Engineer

About the role

We are establishing our San Francisco office as a strategic center for high-bandwidth engineering and product innovation. This is a foundational role for a senior engineer who thrives in an in-person, collaborative environment and wants to be "in the room" where our most complex architectural decisions are made.

Responsibilities

• Arcitecting the Core: Own the most complex work across our platform, including robust versioning systems, approval workflows, and permission models.
• Technical Sovereignty: Make architectural decisions that hold up across multiple customer configurations. Write ADRs and lead the modularization of our core domain.
• High-Bandwidth Collaboration: Work in-person (Monday–Thursday) with our SF leadership team to whiteboard solutions, debug production bottlenecks, and move from idea to deployment at high velocity.
• Technical Excellence: Set the standard for engineering quality. Lead deep, architectural code reviews and drive improvements to our automated quality gates.
• AI-Native Workflow: Use Cursor and Claude to automate boilerplate and focus on high-level design. Define our AI-first patterns—from leveraging agents for testing to streamlining code reviews—ensuring we stay at the frontier of developer leverage.

Requirements

• 6+ years of professional full-stack experience.
• Deep engineering fundamentals (system design, database optimization, clean architecture).
• A proven track record of designing and maintaining complex domain objects and data models in production.
• Ace at systems thinking.
• Highly skilled in security practices.
• Quality-focused, with a history of high code quality and mentoring others to meet that bar.
• San Francisco based, energized by an in-office (Monday-Thursday) collaborative culture.

Nice to have

• Modern Frontend Experience: Familiarity with React and/or Next.js.
• Ruby on Rails Mastery: Deep knowledge of Rails conventions and the modular monolith pattern (Packwerk).
• Complex Document Infrastructure: Experience with document generation (PDFs), rich text editors, or building systems to process unstructured data within secure workflows.
• Regulated Industry Experience: Previous work in compliance-heavy environments such as GovTech, FinTech, or HealthTech (FedRAMP, SOC 2, or HIPAA).
• Infrastructure: Experience with AWS (ECS/EKS, CloudWatch, Parameter Store) and modern deployment pipelines.
• Grow Stage Veteran: Previous experience at a company in the $5M–$30M ARR range where you were one of the senior-most individual contributors.
