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

## Responsibilities and Technologies
At Piton Labs, you’ll work with both startups and larger organizations to solve complex technical challenges. You’ll help clients navigate the uncertainty and complexity that come with building software—supporting them in developing their products and clarifying what actually needs to be built. Instead of simply completing predefined tasks, you’ll help set priorities and focus on the problems that matter most to our clients.

We don’t require a single mandatory stack, but most projects use TypeScript, React, and Go. We generally use AWS for cloud infrastructure, though some clients may use other providers. You must have at least five years of experience with a strong application development stack, relational databases, and modern frontend frameworks. Familiarity with the tools we prefer is helpful but not required. You should consistently deliver reliable, well-tested code.

A typical week may include:
– Building advanced user interfaces for web or mobile applications
– Creating and developing a serverless API layer for a new web product
– Building and provisioning cloud infrastructure using infrastructure-as-code tools
– Presenting new features to client stakeholders

## About the Ideal Candidate
You’re independent and passionate about building software. You enjoy solving problems and continuously improving your technical skills. Key qualities include:
– Practical: focus on solving problems and delivering value, using creativity when needed
– Self-directed: take ownership of products or features and understand both the technical and human aspects
– Experienced: more than five years of experience across a range of project types, with skills refined over time
– Adaptable: keeps up with technologies and isn’t limited to a single specialty

## Remote Work Policy
– Our team is 100% remote and we don’t maintain a physical office
– We prefer candidates in the United States with legal authorization to work
– Secondary preference for candidates in Canada, Uruguay, or Paraguay
– The role requires 4 to 6 hours per day of overlap with Brasília Time (US Eastern Time)
– Digital nomads are welcome; your work location is flexible

## Why Work With Us?
– Competitive salary: $140,000 for candidates in the US
– Substantial quarterly bonuses tied to company profits, typically $2,500 to $5,000
– Four weeks of paid vacation
– Fully remote work
– Strong work-life balance—you’ll work with dynamic startups without giving up your weekends
– A flexible culture with few meetings and little need for synchronization, based on high trust in your delivery
