Qualifications
You are motivated by accountability — you own outcomes, not just tasks
You are results-oriented and measure success by shipped, working software
You are motivated by correctness in code that touches money — the consequences of a bug land on real customer balances, and you take that seriously
You love helping people on your team grow and improve
Writing tests is an integral part of your development process, not an afterthought
You know how to design and build software incrementally — you don't need a complete spec to make progress
Collaborating with the people around you to achieve a goal motivates you
You are collaborative, open-minded, and actively developing your craft
You are curious and pragmatic about AI-driven solutions — you apply them where they add real value and stay skeptical where they don't
Familiarity with AI-assisted development tools — you understand how they work, where they help, and where they fail. Prior hands-on use is a plus; intellectual curiosity and the instinct to evaluate AI output critically are what matter
Technical Skills
Strong foundation in computer science fundamentals: data structures, algorithms, and system design
Familiarity with building production-grade applications and services using Ruby and Ruby on Rails
Deep expertise with Linux systems administration and production troubleshooting
Strong experience operating cloud infrastructure at scale, particularly within AWS environments
Experience with Kubernetes, container orchestration, and cloud-native infrastructure patterns
Proficiency with infrastructure as code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation
Expertise designing and operating CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation systems
Deep understanding of observability tooling including Datadog, OpenTelemetry, or similar platforms
Strong knowledge of distributed systems reliability patterns including redundancy, failover, autoscaling, rate limiting, and graceful degradation
Experience building automation and operational tooling using languages such as Python, Go, Bash, or Ruby
Strong understanding of networking fundamentals including DNS, load balancing, TLS, VPNs, firewalls, and service discovery
Hands-on experience with incident response, root-cause analysis, and production operations in high-availability environments
Familiarity with SRE methodologies including SLOs, SLIs, error budgets, capacity planning, and operational maturity modeling
Experience implementing secure infrastructure and cloud security best practices including IAM, secrets management, and vulnerability remediation
Proven ability to design scalable, resilient, and maintainable platform systems and APIs
Experience supporting distributed microservices architectures and event-driven systems
Strong understanding of operational excellence principles including automation-first engineering and toil reduction
Experience using AI-assisted engineering tools (e.g., Claude, GitHub Copilot) as force multipliers while applying sound operational and engineering judgment
Excellent debugging and systems thinking skills across infrastructure, networking, application, and platform layers
What Great Looks Like
A Senior Software Engineer on the Platform team who is thriving at this level demonstrates:
Reliable delivery of complex work — consistently ships multi-part solutions on time with low defect rates
Low defects in owned areas — proactively monitors and improves the quality of the systems they own; that means incident-free quarters in code paths that move funds and clean reconciliation against vendor reports
Measurable mentorship impact — engineers around you write better code because of your reviews and guidance
"Someone we can depend on for the work that matters — especially the work that touches money."
Failure Modes We Screen Against
We actively evaluate candidates for the following anti-patterns during the interview process:
Failure Mode
What It Looks Like
Strong coder, weak owner
Ships code but doesn't manage to the task — owns the merge, not the outcome; hands off and moves on without monitoring or fixing post-release issues
Solo expert
Hoards knowledge instead of sharing — becomes a single point of failure and blocks team growth
Overconfident designer
Proposes solutions without considering trade-offs — jumps to conclusions, resists alternative approaches
Rubber-stamper
Produces AI-generated output without verifying it against the codebase, tests, or business context
Interview Process
Our 5-round process is designed to evaluate you across all competency areas. AI tools are permitted in technical rounds.
Round Format
What We Evaluate
1 — Hiring Manager Screen
60 min, conversational
Career trajectory, mentorship philosophy, technical influence examples, communication style
2 — Take-Home + PR Discussion
72h take-home + 60 min live
Navigating unfamiliar code, ownership and decomposition discipline visible in your PR, root-cause judgment, AI tool usage
3 — System Design + Artifact Critique
60 min, Miro board
Requirements gathering, schema/API design, trade-off articulation, calibrated code-review judgment on a teammate's PR
4 — Team Interview (conditional)
30 min, behavioral
Collaboration patterns, mentorship behavior, negotiation behavior with cross-functional partners
5 — Culture Add
30 min, People Team
Organizational values alignment
Round 4 is conditional: it runs when the team needs additional behavioral signal after Rounds 2 and 3, and is otherwise skipped. Your recruiter will tell you whether it's scheduled before your loop is finalized.
The Round 2 (Take-Home + PR Discussion) and Round 3 (System Design) exercises are drawn from real problems so the technical evaluation is grounded in the work you'd actually be doing.
What You’ll Receive
Competitive compensation
Employer-sponsored 401(k) with match
Comprehensive medical, dental, and vision coverage
Flexible time off and hybrid work environment
The anticipated annual salary range for this role is $175,000 - $200,000 . Actual compensation and title will be commensurate with experience, qualifications, knowledge, and skills.
