Piton Labs is hiring a full‑time Senior Software Engineer. We’re looking for someone comfortable across the entire stack, ideally with a strong focus on back‑end development. The ideal candidate will also have solid experience with cloud infrastructure. Prior startup experience—either founding one or working at an early‑stage company—is a plus. We strongly prefer candidates in time zones between GMT‑8 (US West Coast) and GMT‑3, though others may be considered individually.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND TECHNOLOGIES

At Piton Labs, you’ll work with both startups and more established organizations to tackle some of their toughest technical challenges. You’ll navigate the ambiguity and complexity inherent in software development, helping clients not only build their products but also determine what should be built. Instead of simply taking tasks from a backlog, you’ll help define priorities and address the highest‑impact problems for our clients.

We remain technology‑agnostic, but most client projects use Typescript, React, and Go. We typically rely on AWS for cloud infrastructure, although some clients use other providers. You should have at least five years of experience with a major web application stack, relational databases, and a modern front‑end stack. Experience with our usual tools is helpful but not required. You should be able to consistently deliver reliable, well‑tested code.

A typical week might include:

• Building rich user interfaces for web or mobile applications
• Designing and developing a serverless API layer for a new web product
• Architecting and provisioning cloud infrastructure using infrastructure‑as‑code tools
• Presenting new features to client stakeholders

ABOUT YOU

You are self‑driven and passionate about writing code. You enjoy solving problems and continuously expanding your technical skills. Key strengths include:

• Pragmatic: You focus on solving problems and creating value, while knowing when to get creative.
• Self‑sufficient: You take ownership of products or features and understand both technical and human considerations.
• Experienced: With more than five years in the field, you’ve worked on a wide range of projects and refined your craft.
• Adaptable: You grow with technology and don’t limit yourself to past specialties.

REMOTE WORK POLICY

• The team is fully remote, with no physical office.
• We prefer candidates located in the United States who are legally authorized to work there.
• Secondary preference for candidates in Canada, Uruguay, or Paraguay.
• Expect 4–6 hours of overlap with East Coast working hours most days.
• Digital nomads are welcome; your work location is flexible.

WHY WORK WITH US?

• Competitive salary: 140,000 USD for US‑based candidates
• Significant quarterly profit‑sharing bonuses, usually between 2,500 and 5,000 USD
• Four weeks of paid vacation
• Fully remote work, permanently
• Excellent work‑life balance—work with fast‑growing startups without sacrificing your weekends
• Flexible, asynchronous culture with minimal meetings and high trust in your ability to deliver
