About this role:

 

A Senior Engineer is someone who has solved a number of technology problems in their long career and who has architected and built complex systems that have had solid impacts on business problems. They are someone who can be relied upon to look into issues and emergencies when they happen from time to time and are capable of solving those issues on their own if necessary. Also, Senior Engineers are good, approachable mentors who are well respected by their peers for giving fair and honest feedback that is both tactful and encouraging.

 

About you:

 

We would like you to be someone who has demonstrable skills and proven past performance in the above definition of this role.

 

You will be Engineer #2 at a young company that is technology reliant. Once you ramp up, this gives you the privilege and responsibility of flexibility. That means this is not a 9-5 job … we want you to have work-life balance, which may mean working longer hours one day vs. another, or taking time off in the middle of the day, or having to answer an emergency outside “normal business hours” on occasion. It is also important that you view this position as more than just an engineering role. In addition to building and architecting impactful systems, you will also be building a successful business and sharing your ideas across teams.
