Piton Labs is hiring a full-time Senior Software Engineer. We’re looking for someone who can lead full-stack development, with a stronger emphasis on backend engineering. You should have strong hands-on experience building and working with cloud infrastructure. Startup experience—through personal projects or early-stage companies—is a plus. We prefer candidates located 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 collaborate with both startups and large organizations to tackle their most challenging technical problems. You’ll need to handle ambiguity and complexity by supporting clients as they develop products and helping determine what should actually be built. This role isn’t limited to completing tasks from a checklist—you’ll also help set priorities and focus attention on what matters most to our clients.

We don’t require a specific technology stack, but most of the 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 widely used stacks for web applications, relational databases, and modern frontend frameworks. Experience with our preferred tools is beneficial but not required. You should consistently deliver reliable, thoroughly tested code.

A typical week may include:
– Building advanced 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
– Updating client stakeholders on new features

### Ideal Candidate Profile
You’re independent, proactive, and genuinely excited to build software. You enjoy solving problems and continuously improving your technical skills. You should have:
– **Practical mindset:** focus on solving problems, delivering value, and being creative when it matters
– **Ownership:** take responsibility for outcomes while considering both technical and human factors
– **Deep experience:** 5+ years across diverse projects with continuous growth
– **Adaptability:** adopt new technologies rather than limiting 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:** typically $2,500–$5,000
– **Four weeks of paid time off**
– **Fully remote role**
– **Healthy work-life balance:** support fast-moving startup initiatives without giving up your weekends
– **Flexible culture:** fewer meetings and less coordination overhead, with high trust in how you deliver
