[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @Flodesk

Role Description

We're looking for a Senior Software Engineer who can move fluidly across the stack — frontend and backend — and who uses AI-native tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and similar) as a part of how they build, not as an afterthought.

You will not just "convert Figma to code" or "code tickets." Your core challenges will include:

• Craft delightful, intuitive interfaces that anticipate user needs across our product suite — email, forms, checkout, and workflow automation.
• Build and operate high-scale backend systems handling billions of annual events, solving real challenges in speed, data processing, and stability.
• Build AI-powered features — smarter writing assistance, auto-generated designs, intelligent workflows, and new AI products built from the ground up.
• Design strong APIs and integrations with partners like Shopify, Zapier, and WooCommerce.
• Own your work end to end — from understanding why a request exists, to deciding what should be built, to shipping how it's built, in production.
• Work directly with Product Managers and Designers to decide how features should work — not just how they're implemented.

Qualifications

• Engineering Skills
• Frontend: Deep skills in TypeScript and React (Hooks, Context); understanding of how React works under the hood (re-rendering, virtual DOM).
• Comfortable with modern build tools (Vite, Turbo) and monorepos.
• Strong foundation in performance optimization and code-splitting.
• Backend: Strong computer science foundation and problem-solving skills.
• Experience with SOA architecture (Golang/Node.js preferred), MongoDB/PostgreSQL, and AWS services.
• Comfortable designing systems that stay fast even as traffic scales 10x.
• AI-Augmented Development: Use AI tools (Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, etc.) as a genuine engineering practice — not just autocomplete.
• Builder Mindset & Product Thinking
• Ask why it needs to exist and what problem it actually solves — not just how to implement it.
• Build for the user, not just the ticket.
• Think about downstream impact, maintainability, and business consequences.
• Have built things because you saw they were needed — personal projects, internal tools, or improvements you drove yourself.
• Ownership & Collaboration
• Work independently without waiting for detailed instructions.
• Take things all the way to production, not just to prototype or demo stage.
• Communicate technical problems clearly to non-technical stakeholders.
• Believe in code reviews and knowledge sharing.

Requirements

• Experience shipping AI or conversational UI features that improved real user outcomes.
• Experience with SaaS-specific problems (fair usage, noisy neighbor), large-scale databases (sharding, partitioning, no-downtime migration), Martech, or Fintech domains.
• Experience building internal tools for non-technical teams (ops, CS, support).
• Experience leading an engineering team or mentoring other engineers.

Benefits

• Competitive salary + 13th-month bonus
• Performance bonuses based on company and individual contributions
• Stock options for high contributors
• Personal development allowance up to $1,000/year
• Comprehensive healthcare coverage (annual health check, vaccines, premium insurance)
• Flexible working hours, standard 5-day workweek
• Modern office with top-notch equipment (MacBook Pro)
• Opportunities for career growth, including overseas options
