Piton Labs is hiring a full-time Senior Software Engineer. We’re seeking someone who can lead full-stack development, with a stronger focus on backend engineering. You should have solid hands-on experience building and working with cloud infrastructure. Startup experience—whether through personal projects or early-stage companies—is a plus. We prefer candidates based in time zones from GMT‑8 to GMT‑3 (US West Coast), though we may consider other regions depending on fit.

### Responsibilities and Technical Scope
At Piton Labs, you’ll work with both startups and large organizations to solve their toughest technical problems. You’ll need to navigate ambiguity and complexity—supporting clients as they build products and helping decide what should actually be built. This role isn’t just about completing tasks from a checklist; you’ll also help set priorities and guide attention toward what matters most to our clients.

We don’t require a specific technology stack, but most work uses TypeScript, React, and Go. Cloud infrastructure is typically built on AWS, though some clients use other providers. You must have at least five years of experience with commonly used stacks for web applications, relational databases, and modern frontend frameworks. Experience with our preferred tools is helpful but not required. You should consistently produce dependable code that has been thoroughly tested.

A typical week might include:
– Building sophisticated interfaces for web or mobile applications
– Designing and implementing a serverless API layer for new products
– Using infrastructure-as-code tools to build and deploy cloud environments
– Communicating feature updates to client stakeholders

### Ideal Candidate Profile
You’re independent, proactive, and genuinely excited to build software. You enjoy solving problems and continuously growing your technical skills. You should have:
– **Practical mindset:** prioritize solving problems, delivering value, and being creative when it matters
– **Ownership:** take responsibility for outcomes and consider both technical and human factors
– **Deep experience:** 5+ years across a variety of projects with ongoing growth
– **Adaptability:** adopt new technologies instead of confining yourself to one area

### Remote Work Policy
– The team is fully remote with no office location
– US legal work authorization and current residence in the US are preferred
– Next preference: candidates from Canada, Uruguay, or Paraguay
– You must overlap US Eastern Time by 4–6 hours per day
– Digital nomads are welcome; your location can be flexible

### Why Join Us
– **Competitive pay:** $140,000 for local candidates in the US
– **Quarterly bonus tied to company profitability:** usually $2,500–$5,000
– **Four weeks of paid time off**
– **Fully remote role**
– **Healthy work-life balance:** support fast-moving startup initiatives without sacrificing your weekends
– **Flexible culture:** fewer meetings and less coordination overhead, with high trust in how you deliver
