We're looking to fill two positions on our team:

============================================================================

Software Engineer (mid senior, 2-4yrs exp)

What this role looks like:

• Feature work end to end: API design, database access, and the React/Next.js interfaces on top
• Building the integration layer between our internal systems: reliable delivery, idempotency, retries and reconciliation
• Integrating with an external enterprise platform, to a design you'll help shape
• Leading the build of a new internal product from scratch
• Migration and backfill work against live production data
• Reviewing our associate engineer's work, and helping them grow

What we are looking for:

• 2+ years building production backend systems, ideally Node.js/TypeScript with PostgreSQL
• Strong relational data modelling: You can design a schema for a domain you've just been told about, and you know why constraints belong in the database
• You can reason about a system you've never seen: state the tradeoffs, defend where a boundary belongs, and say what breaks when a dependency is down
• Comfortable across the stack: you can build the API and the screen that consumes it
• You've integrated with at least one external system you didn't control, and remember what went wrong
• You treat authorization and data isolation as correctness problems, not configuration
• Available full-time: This role isn't compatible with ongoing coursework or another commitment running alongside it

Good to have:

• Experience integrating with enterprise platforms: SAP, NetSuite, Dynamics, Salesforce or similar
• Prisma, or Next.js App Router
• You've taken a codebase from little test coverage to real coverage
• You've mentored a/a team of junior engineer(s)

============================================================================

AssociateSoftware Engineer (fresher, 0-1yr exp)

What this role looks like:

• Feature work end to end: API endpoints, database queries, and the React screens on top of them
• Growing our automated test coverage: This one is genuinely yours to own, and it's one of the fastest ways to learn a system properly
• CI/CD pipelines
• Screens and workflows for a new internal product
• Data scripts and routine maintenance work, always under review

What we are looking for:

• A degree in computer science or a related field, or equivalent skills you can demonstrate. Up to a year of experience, internships count as long as the work makes sense.
• Solid fundamentals in Data structures, algorithms, SQL and how the web works. We'd rather want you know five things properly than twenty things vaguely.
• Competence in at least one language you'd be happy to be interviewed in (not Python).
• You can say I don't know and then reason your way toward an answer. We test for this deliberately
• You've built something. Coursework, an internship project, something of your own, and you can explain why you built it the way you did
• Available full-time: This role isn't compatible with ongoing coursework or another commitment running alongside it

Good to have:

• TypeScript, React or Next.js
• You've contributed to a codebase somebody else wrote
• You've taught yourself something recently because you wanted to, not because it was assigned
