Our company was founded 100% remotely, and we're proud of it. We were good at being remote long before COVID-19 and will continue to be remote when COVID-19 is a distant memory.

We use a variety of collaboration tools, like Zoom, Slack, and our homegrown Qube Virtual Office, which make us feel like we're in the same building together.

We use agile tenets to iterate on both our product and internal processes. We have a wonderful team of kind-hearted, talented engineers who love to collaborate, teach each other new tricks, and build products that exceed our customers' expectations.

What You Will Do

As a Principal Software Engineer at Seeq, you will play a critical role in shaping the technical direction and architecture of our software platform.

You will lead the design and development of complex software systems, working closely with cross-functional teams including product managers, designers, and other engineers.

You will mentor and coach junior engineers, guiding them in best practices and helping them grow their skills. You will be a technical leader, driving innovation and spearheading the implementation of new technologies and frameworks.

Your Passion

Passionate about crafting exceptional software, you revel in the art of designing and building with elegance, extensibility, and maintainability as your guiding principles.

Your Skills

Renowned as one of the most productive engineers in your company, your commitment to continuous improvement sets you apart.

Always striving to perfect your craft, you excel as a teammate, consistently coming up with innovative solutions. You possess an innate ability to identify areas for improvement without waiting for them to be pointed out.

Your track record includes swift product and feature deliveries, showcasing proficiency in a continuous delivery model.

Meticulous and detail-oriented, you advocate for unit testing, continuous integration, and elegant solutions. Bugs are your adversaries, and you take pleasure in immediately addressing them.

Eliminating technical debt while refactoring code excites you.

Collaboration

Eager to collaborate through pair programming and contribute to team acceleration, you consistently review and provide actionable feedback on code.

Your passion extends to being one of the most product- and user-focused engineers. Because you actively engage with customers, you can articulate the rationale behind features and explain pain points for your fellow engineers.

Adaptable, versatile, and quick to learn, you bring fresh technologies and methodologies to the team, establishing yourself as a technological thought leader.

Your influence is felt as you mentor colleagues, meeting deadlines through effective planning, prioritization, and accurate estimates.

The Tech Stack

Comfortable across the tech stack, you excel in a JVM language or Python for backend functionality. Your expertise extends to databases, distributed computing, and cloud platforms, showcasing your proficiency in at least one of these technologies.

Working on the front end, you craft visually appealing pages for our Typescript + React application.

Your Drive

Driven by a desire for impact beyond individual contributions, you possess a holistic view, working seamlessly across boundaries for the benefit of the product and its users.

Proactive in seeking and providing feedback, you maintain open communication about growth opportunities with your manager(s) and colleagues.

Armed with a bachelor's degree in computer science or equivalent experience, you bring years of experience as a staff or principal software development engineer, leading successful multi-developer efforts.

Travel

Occasional travel is not a deterrent for you; in fact, you welcome face-to-face interactions with colleagues. Seeking work-life balance, you aspire to contribute your skills to a startup with a promising future, surrounded by a diverse group of intelligent, collaborative individuals.
