Piton Labs is hiring a full-time Senior Software Engineer. We’re looking for someone who can work across multiple layers of the software development stack, with a strong emphasis on backend development. You must have hands-on experience with cloud infrastructure. Startup experience—such as personal projects or working at early-stage companies—is a plus. We strongly prefer candidates in the GMT-8 (US West Coast) to GMT-3 time range, though we may consider other time zones depending on the situation.

## Responsibilities and Technologies

At Piton Labs, you’ll work with both startups and established organizations to solve their most challenging technical problems. You’ll develop software in a high-uncertainty, high-complexity environment, helping customers build their products by focusing on what truly needs to be created. Rather than simply executing a predetermined task list, you’ll help set priorities so effort goes toward what matters most to our customers.

We’re not limited to a single technology stack, but most client work uses TypeScript, React, and Go. We typically use AWS for cloud infrastructure, though some clients may use other providers. You should have at least 5 years of experience building within one or more large web application environments, including relational databases and modern frontend frameworks. Familiarity with our preferred tools is helpful but not required. You must be able to consistently write reliable, well-tested code.

A typical week may include:
– Building advanced user interfaces for web or mobile applications
– Designing and developing a “no hard dependencies” API layer for new web products
– Using Infrastructure-as-Code tools to create and deploy cloud infrastructure
– Presenting new features to relevant customer stakeholders

## Ideal Candidate Profile

You’re independent, self-motivated, and genuinely enthusiastic about building software. You enjoy solving problems and continuously improving your technical skills. Key traits include:
– Practical mindset: focus on solving problems and delivering value; apply creativity when needed
– Self-driven: take ownership of products or features while balancing technical and people considerations
– Deep experience: 5+ years across a variety of project types, with ongoing improvement over time
– Adaptability: keep growing with technology rather than limiting yourself to a single specialty

## Remote Work Policy

– Our team is fully remote, with no physical office
– We prefer candidates located in the United States with legal authorization to work
– We have a secondary preference for candidates from Canada, Uruguay, or Paraguay
– The role requires 4–6 hours of daily availability during U.S. Eastern Time
– We welcome digital nomads—your location can be flexible

## Why Join Us?

– Competitive compensation: $140,000 USD annual salary for U.S.-based candidates
– Quarterly bonuses tied to company profits, typically $2,500–$5,000
– 4 weeks of paid annual leave
– Full-time remote work
– Strong work-life balance: collaborate with a fast-growing team without sacrificing weekends
– Flexible culture: fewer meetings and more trust-based collaboration, focused on your ability to deliver results
