Piton Labs is hiring a full-time Senior Software Engineer. We’re looking for someone who can work across the entire stack, with a strong preference for candidates who are especially solid in backend development. Deep experience with cloud infrastructure is required. Prior experience with startups—through personal projects or by working at early-stage companies—is a plus. We prefer candidates located between GMT-8 (US West Coast) and GMT-3, but we can consider other situations on a case-by-case basis.

## Responsibilities and Technologies
At Piton Labs, you’ll work alongside both startups and large organizations to solve complex technical challenges. You help clients manage the uncertainty and complexity of building software—guiding them as they develop their products and clarifying what actually needs to be built. Rather than just executing predefined tasks, you help set priorities and focus on the most important problems for our clients.

We don’t prescribe a single tech stack, but most projects use TypeScript, React, and Go. For cloud infrastructure, we typically use AWS, though some clients may use other providers. You must be able to demonstrate at least five years of experience building reliable application systems, relational databases, and modern frontend frameworks. Familiarity with our preferred tools is helpful but not required. You must consistently deliver reliable, well-tested code.

A typical week may include:
– Building advanced UI for web or mobile applications
– Designing and implementing a serverless API layer for a new web product
– Building and deploying cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code tools
– Presenting new features to client stakeholders

## About the Ideal Candidate
You’re independent and enjoy designing software. You like solving problems and continuously improving your technical skills. Key traits include:
– Pragmatic: solve problems and create value first, using creativity when needed
– Self-directed: you take ownership of products or features and understand both technical and human aspects
– Experienced: 5+ years across different project types, with skills sharpened over time
– Adaptable: you keep up with evolving technologies and aren’t limited to a single specialty

## Remote Work Policy
– Our team is fully remote and we don’t have a physical office
– We prefer candidates in the USA with legal authorization to work
– Second preference for candidates in Canada, Uruguay, or Paraguay
– The role requires 4–6 hours per day of overlap with US Eastern Time
– Digital nomads are welcome; your location is flexible

## Why Work With Us?
– Attractive compensation: $140,000 USD for candidates located in the USA
– Meaningful quarterly bonuses tied to company profit, typically between $2,500 and $5,000
– Four weeks of paid vacation
– Fully remote work
– Strong work-life balance—you work with fast-moving startups without sacrificing your weekends
– A flexible culture with few meetings and minimal synchronization needs, supported by high trust in your delivery
