Senior Software Engineer

About the Team and How We Work

Building the OS for the built world is no small feat. We’ll need to ship a LOT of high quality code in the coming years, and to do so, we’re building an engineering culture centered around craft, ownership, and collaboration.

• 25% of our engineers and product managers are ex-founders, and we hire for slope, not intercept.
• No rules…rules: Many engineering teams design processes and rules around the lowest common denominator. Not us! We trust brilliant engineers to deliver magical customer outcomes and introduce processes and rules only when necessary.
• Full-full-stack: Our technology stack (TypeScript everywhere!) and processes are designed to encourage engineers to run their projects end-to-end. This usually involves writing technical blueprints, implementing full-stack solutions, and talking to customers directly to get feedback.
• Lean and AI-native: AI is turning 10x engineers into 100x engineers. We believe lean, talent-dense, AI-native teams will outship much larger teams with less talent density.
• Blueprints and building blocks: One of our core Miter values is “build the blueprint”. Writing things down clarifies our thinking and aligns our teams. This also applies to building fundamental building blocks and abstractions that make developers’ lives easier.
• We feel our customers’ pain and celebrate their success: We encourage engineers to build direct relationships with customers, feel their pain, and celebrate their success. We love fast feedback loops.
• Moderate work ethic and reliability when owning tasks and deliverables. Strong communication skills, with the ability to simplify complex ideas in writing. Collaborative nature with humility, empathy, and a drive to elevate those around you with thoughtful technical feedback.

Our Benefits

• Competitive Compensation: We offer competitive (well above “market”) salary, commission, and equity packages.
• Medical Insurance: Comprehensive medical, dental, FSA, vision plans to suit you and your family’s needs.
• 401(k) Retirement Plan: Company-matched contributions to help you plan for your future.
• Flexible PTO: Take the time you need to recharge and be your best self.
• Parental Leave: Generous 16-week paid leave for all parents, including adoptive and foster parents.
• Learning & Development: We offer every employee an annual educational allowance to explore external professional development.
• Office Extras: Snacks, coffee, lunch, and commuter benefits for in-office Mitosaurs.
• Community: Company-wide and team-specific off-sites per year.
• Hybrid vs. Remote Approach: We believe the magic of Miter comes from working side by side. We also believe in work flexibility. For roles that are listed as hybrid, our approach is 3 days a week in the office giving us the chance to connect, brainstorm, and build stronger relationships. If you live within a reasonable commute to either our New York City or San Francisco offices, we ask that you work in our hybrid approach. Otherwise, for roles listed as remote or in other cities where we don't have an office location, there is no requirement to work in our hybrid approach. We do travel a few times a year for onboarding, company-wide and team specific off-sites!
