About Our Client

This organization is offering a candidate a 100% remote opportunity to work at a SaaS company that recently received funding, and is looking to expand their internal engineering team. The company is currently less than 10 employees, and is a fully remote organization with employees across the US. This is a fantastic opportunity to join an organization, get equity in the organization, and help the company grow.

Job Description

The key responsibilities for the Lead Backend Developer / Lead Software Engineer will include but not be limited to:
  • Working with product team and lead engineer to develop implementation plans for upcoming features
  • Execute plans using SOLID design principles
  • Ensure all feature requirements are met with automated and manual testing
  • Plan and execute deployment procedures
  • Ensure code is of high quality
This is a chance for you to mentor a junior engineer and the long-term opportunity (if you're interested.) is to be a Director of Engineering / Engineering Manager. Please note if you'd like to stay as an individual contributor that is also fine but the growth path is clear for an ambitious candidate.
