Piton Labs is hiring a full-time Senior Software Engineer. We’re looking for someone who feels comfortable working across the entire stack, ideally with a stronger focus on backend development. The right candidate will also have solid experience with cloud infrastructure. Prior startup experience—either as a founder or 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 on a case-by-case basis.

RESPONSIBILITIES AND TECHNOLOGIES

At Piton Labs, you’ll collaborate with startups and larger organizations to tackle some of their most complex technical challenges. You’ll navigate the ambiguity and complexity inherent in software development, helping clients not only build their products, but also decide what should be built. Instead of simply pulling tasks from a backlog, you’ll help set priorities and focus on solving the problems with the most value for our clients.

We’re technology-agnostic, but most of our projects use TypeScript, React, and Go. We typically rely on AWS for cloud infrastructure, though some clients use other providers. You should have at least five years of experience with a core stack involving web applications, relational databases, and a modern frontend stack. Familiarity with our preferred tools is helpful, but not required. You should feel comfortable consistently delivering reliable, well-tested code.

A typical week may include:

– Building advanced 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

– Pragmatic: You focus on solving problems and creating value, while knowing when to think creatively
– Independent: You take ownership of products or features and understand both the technical and human side of the work
– Experienced: With more than five years in the field, you’ve worked across a wide range of projects and sharpened your skills
– Adaptable: You keep up with evolving technology and don’t box yourself into narrow specialties
