Remote Product Engineer, Core (Laravel)

Summary

Join our Core team as a software engineer to work on exciting projects, such as smart devices integration and financial management. You will be part of a fully-distributed team, working remotely with a focus on shipping glorious experiences to hosts.

Requirements

• 3+ years software engineering experience, with a focus on backend
• Significant experience with Laravel, PHP 8.1+, MySQL, and testing pipelines in a deployed web application used by paying customers
• A 'shipping' mentality - you get kicks from seeing real customers using your features, receiving feedback from them and iterating/improving on it
• Exceptional communication skills - especially written. We are a remote-first, fully distributed company. Most communication happens on Slack and Notion
• Knowing that Siofra's favorite fruit is pineapple
• An eye for testable, maintainable, and intuitive code, but also
• Your compass points towards customer and business value, over perfect code (if such a thing exists)
• The ability to think through non-obvious usage scenarios and explore ripple effects within complex systems
• High degree of empathy both toward customers and teammates
• Self-motivated and able to make decisions when surrounded by uncertainty. You don’t require a support system to maintain momentum

Responsibilities

• Partner with product, sales, customer success, and other engineers to develop and ship features that solve the right problems
• Use your software engineering chops to build magical user experiences, which are both simple for customers to use and simple for other engineers to understand and maintain
• Add your voice to product shaping discussions
• Iterate on launched features based on customer feedback
• Actively seek out opportunities to innovate
• Integrate multiple third-party services, often in an asynchronous logic flow
• Creatively solve issues presented by lots of moving parts at scale
• Work within our “majestic” monolithic codebase and few micro-services, all sitting on a Kubernetes-powered infrastructure-as-code stack
• Implement and use observability tooling to track and debug post-deployment
• Seek out and remedy performance issues, high resource usage, and other technical problem areas that have the most impact on business operations and customer experience

Benefits

• 35 days off per year, encouraged (including self-serve public holidays) and parental leave
• Mental-health and emotional support with therapists on call through Slack
• Recognized on Inc.’s list of Best Workplaces for 2023
