Piton Labs is currently hiring a full-time Senior Software Engineer. We’re looking for someone who can handle full-stack development with a stronger focus on the backend. You must have solid experience with cloud infrastructure. Prior startup experience—whether from personal projects or early-stage companies—is a plus. We strongly prefer candidates in the GMT‑8 (US West Coast) to GMT‑3 time zones, but we may consider applicants from other regions depending on fit.

### Responsibilities and Technical Scope
At Piton Labs, you’ll work with both startups and large enterprises to solve their most challenging technical problems. You’ll need to handle the uncertainty and complexity of software development—helping customers build products and deciding what truly needs to be developed. This isn’t just executing tasks from a checklist; you’ll also help set priorities and focus on what matters most to our customers.

We don’t require a specific tech stack, but most projects use TypeScript, React, and Go. Cloud infrastructure is typically built on AWS, though some customers use other providers. You should have at least five years of experience with mainstream web application development stacks, relational databases, and modern frontend frameworks. Familiarity with our preferred tools is a plus, but not required. You must be able to continuously deliver reliable, thoroughly tested code.

A typical week may include:
– Building advanced user interfaces for web or mobile applications
– Designing and developing a serverless API layer for new products
– Using infrastructure-as-code tools to create and deploy cloud environments
– Presenting new features to customer stakeholders

### Ideal Candidate Traits
You’re independent, self-driven, and passionate about building software. You enjoy solving problems and continuously improving your technical skills. You should have:
– **Practical mindset:** focus on solving problems and delivering value, and be creative when it matters
– **Ownership:** take responsibility for outcomes and understand both technical and human needs
– **Deep experience:** 5+ years across a variety of projects with continuous skill growth
– **Adaptability:** evolve with technology rather than limiting yourself to a single area

### Remote Work Policy
– The team is fully remote, with no physical office
– Priority given to candidates with legal work authorization in the United States who live in the US
– Next preference for candidates from Canada, Uruguay, or Paraguay
– Must overlap with US Eastern Time for 4–6 hours per day
– Digital nomads are welcome; location is flexible

### Why Join Us
– **Competitive compensation:** $140,000 for local US candidates
– **Quarterly bonus tied to company profit:** typically $2,500–$5,000
– **Four weeks of paid time off**
– **Full remote work**
– **Good work-life balance:** help push fast-moving startup projects without sacrificing weekends
– **Flexible culture:** fewer meetings and less synchronization, with high trust in your execution
