Senior Software Engineer, Platform (New York)

Senior Software Engineer

We are looking for a Senior Software Engineer to help drive the evolution of our platform.

The Platform Team provides core components for the rest of the Maybern engineering team to build on top of, including foundational data modeling, integration testing, and release tooling. We aim to create simple, reliable interfaces for complex systems to enable our engineers to move quickly yet safely, so our product teams can focus on delivering value for our customers.

The right candidate's north star is developer productivity : you design, build, and rigorously test solutions so that product teams can stay focused on customer features while the complexities of scalability, performance, and fault-tolerance are handled transparently by the platform.

To thrive in this role, you must be an entrepreneurial engineer who enjoys solving complex problems

Build : Architect, scope, and build core parts of our system from the ground up

Lead : Identify and drive new initiatives while mentoring junior engineers

Partner : Work closely with other engineers to design elegant, flexible solutions that solve their problems while being forward-thinking about future use cases

We are looking for someone who :

Has a developer experience mindset. On our Platform team, you will shape the internal tools and services that let product engineers move fast without tripping over infrastructure details.

Is collaborative. You collaborate well across teams, can distill and incorporate feedback, and communicate clearly and concisely

Is a leader. You're eager to shape our technical foundation and will level up team practices and processes. You can take broad guidance and determine the best path forward. You thrive in a fast-paced environment and are comfortable wearing multiple hats

Is strategic. You see both the forest and the trees : think big picture, execute fine details. You can plan for the long term while navigating short-term tradeoffs

This could be a great fit if you...

Are comfortable working with server-side languages and frameworks (we're tech agnostic in interviews, but use Python and Django in practice)

Have experience with monitoring cloud applications and responding to incidents

Have a solid grasp of relational databases and transactions.

Are knowledgeable of platform / cloud technologies and distributed systems. AWS experience is a bonus.

Are passionate about great developer tooling

Are comfortable working in a fast-paced, collaborative environment with shifting priorities

Have work experience at a startup, preferably early stage

We offer a competitive salary + equity package, comprehensive benefits, and a flexible family-friendly work environment. Some of our perks include :

Comprehensive healthcare benefits

Maybern covers 100% of medical premiums, with low-cost dental and vision plans

Health savings accounts, and more

Family-friendly policies

Paid parental leave
