Piton Labs is hiring a full-time Senior Software Engineer. We’re looking for someone who can lead full-stack development, with a stronger focus on backend work. You should have deep experience building and working with cloud infrastructure. Prior startup experience—through personal projects or early-stage companies—is a plus. We prefer candidates located in the GMT‑8 to GMT‑3 time zones (US West Coast), but we may consider applicants from other regions depending on fit.

### Responsibilities and Technical Scope
At Piton Labs, you’ll work with both startups and large enterprises to solve their most challenging technical problems. You’ll need to handle the ambiguity and complexity of software development—supporting customers as they build products and helping determine what should actually be developed. This role is more than completing tasks from a checklist: you’ll also help set priorities and focus on what matters most to our customers.

We don’t require a particular technology stack, though many projects use TypeScript, React, and Go. Most cloud infrastructure is built on AWS, but some customers use other providers. You should have at least five years of experience with common web application stacks, relational databases, and modern frontend frameworks. Experience with our preferred tools is helpful but not required. You must consistently deliver reliable, well-tested code.

A typical week may include:
– Building advanced user 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 customer stakeholders

### Ideal Candidate Traits
You’re independent, self-driven, and genuinely motivated by building software. You enjoy solving problems and continually expanding 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 and understand both technical and human factors
– **Deep experience:** 5+ years across a range of projects, with ongoing growth
– **Adaptability:** embrace new technologies rather than limiting yourself to one area

### Remote Work Policy
– The team is fully remote, with no office location
– Priority is given to applicants with legal work authorization in the United States who currently live in the US
– Next preference: candidates from Canada, Uruguay, or Paraguay
– You must overlap with US Eastern Time for 4–6 hours per day
– Digital nomads are welcome; your location can be flexible

### Why Join Us
– **Competitive compensation:** $140,000 for local US candidates
– **Quarterly bonus based on company profit:** typically $2,500–$5,000
– **Four weeks of paid time off**
– **Fully remote role**
– **Healthy work-life balance:** help drive fast-moving startup initiatives without sacrificing weekends
– **Flexible culture:** fewer meetings and less coordination overhead, with high trust in how you deliver
