Piton Labs is hiring a Senior Software Engineer (full-time). We’re looking for someone who can work across different levels of the development team, with a strong preference for candidates who excel in backend development. You should have solid experience with cloud infrastructure. Prior experience in startup environments is a plus—either through your own projects or by working at an early-stage company. We strongly prefer candidates located in time zones between GMT‑8 (US West Coast) and GMT‑3, but we may consider other situations case by case.

**Responsibilities and Technologies**

At Piton Labs, you’ll work with both startups and established organizations to tackle their most challenging technical problems. You’ll operate in an environment marked by high uncertainty and high complexity in software development, helping clients build their products by focusing on what truly needs to be built. Instead of following a predefined list of tasks, you’ll help set priorities and stay focused on the most important issues for our clients.

We’re not tied to a fixed technology stack, but most of our clients’ projects use TypeScript, React, and Go. For cloud infrastructure, we typically use AWS, though some clients use other providers. You must have at least five years of experience building web applications in one or more core environments, including relational databases and modern frontend frameworks. Familiarity with our preferred tools is helpful, but not required. You must also be able to consistently write reliable, well-tested code.

A typical week may include:

• Building demanding user interfaces for web or mobile applications
• Designing and building a backend-agnostic API layer for a new web product
• Creating and deploying 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:

• **Hands-on:** Focus on solving problems and delivering value—using creativity when needed
• **Self-directed:** A sense of ownership over products or features, with understanding of both technical and human factors
• **Deep experience:** 5+ years of experience across a wide range of projects that have evolved over time
• **Adaptable:** You grow with technology rather than limiting yourself to a single specialization

**Remote Work Policy**

• Our team is fully remote; we don’t have a physical office
• We prefer candidates based in the United States with legal permission to work there
• Second priority for candidates in Canada, Uruguay, or Paraguay
• The role requires daily availability of 4–6 hours during US Eastern Time
• Digital nomads are welcome; your location can be flexible

**Why Work With Us?**

• Competitive compensation: $140,000 USD for candidates based in the United States
• Quarterly performance-linked bonuses, typically between $2,500 and $5,000
• Four weeks of paid time off
• Full-time remote work
• Great work-life balance: you work with fast-growing startups without giving up weekends
• A flexible culture with fewer meetings and less coordination burden, supported by high trust in delivery
