Senior Software Engineer

About this role

Mindgrub Talent is looking for a highly experienced Senior Software Engineer to join a fast-growing, product-focused technology company building and scaling a modern cloud-based platform.

This is a strong fit for engineers who have worked in high-growth startups, venture-backed technology companies, or product-driven engineering organizations where software is the core product. We’re particularly interested in people who enjoy taking ownership, solving ambiguous problems, and building products and systems from the ground up.

What We’re Looking For

7+ years of professional software engineering experience

Strong full-stack development background, with a preference for engineers who enjoy working heavily on backend systems

Recent, hands-on experience building complex products and systems with TypeScript

Experience working in high-growth technology companies, startups, or similarly fast-paced product environments

Track record of owning features or systems from design through development, deployment, and ongoing improvement

Experience building and scaling high-throughput distributed systems in the cloud

Strong understanding of relational databases, data modeling, and scalable database design

Experience with modern cloud infrastructure and infrastructure-as-code

Ability to identify potential security, reliability, and scalability risks

Comfortable working independently in a remote environment while collaborating closely with product and engineering teams

Ideal Candidate We’re looking for engineers who enjoy building, owning, and improving products, not simply working through assigned tickets. The strongest candidates will be able to talk about meaningful projects or systems where they played a significant role in shaping the solution.

Relevant experience could include:

Launching new products, features, or platforms

Taking ownership of critical applications or technical systems

Working through the challenges that come with rapid company or product growth

Building tools, applications, side projects, or open-source software outside of core responsibilities

Making engineering teams faster or more effective through better tooling and processes

Evolving architecture as users, data, or transaction volumes increase

Turning an early-stage idea or loosely defined problem into something customers can actually use

We also value engineers who have had the opportunity to grow within an organization, taking on broader technical ownership, more complex problems, or increased influence over time.

Additional Experience That Stands Out While not required, experience in any of the following areas would be a strong plus:

Building software in FinTech, payments, marketplaces, or other transaction-heavy environments

Working with complex relational data models and helping databases scale as products grow

Thinking beyond feature development to system health, monitoring, resilience, and maintainability

Contributing to products that incorporate AI, experimentation, model evaluation, or data-driven workflows

Demonstrating technical curiosity through GitHub activity, open-source work, personal projects, or other hands-on development

Engineers are expected to have meaningful ownership over both the technical implementation and the product outcome.

This role is best suited for an engineer who enjoys the pace and ownership of a startup environment and wants to help build and scale a product rather than simply maintain an established system.

Compensation

Suggested Range $160,000 - $200,000 USD

Base compensation will be determined based on a variety of factors including skills, education, certifications, geographic location, and overall experience for the role

Inclusivity without exception | At Mindgrub Talent we value and encourage mutual respect and acceptance. We know we all have something to contribute. We work every day to ensure all are welcome, and that we treat all people with fairness and dignity.

No phone calls or recruiters, please.
