[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @Numero

Role Description

At Numero, we build software for political campaigns and nonprofits. Our platform is an all-in-one system comprised of a donor CRM, broadcast email + texting tools, and payment processing pages that our clients rely on for their work every day. We’re hiring experienced engineers to help us scale our backend infrastructure and support the development of several new products on our roadmap.

We’re looking for someone who finds the challenge of building systems that operate at scale genuinely fun to untangle. The work is challenging due to the nature of what we build, where a subtle edge case or an inefficient query is felt by every client during high-traffic moments of an election cycle.

Qualifications

• Deep experience building and scaling user-facing backend systems (ideally 6+ years).
• A deep, instinctive understanding of how code behaves at scale.
• Real fluency with SQL and relational data at scale.
• A bias toward building things the right way.
• Hands-on experience building with AI.
• Excellent written and verbal communication and high EQ.
• Located in the continental USA (ET, CT, MT, PT) and willing to travel 1-2x a year for company retreats and/or team offsites.

Requirements

• Experience with high-traffic production systems.
• Ability to anticipate bottlenecks and optimize queries.
• Experience with AI tools in engineering.
• Strong collaboration and communication skills.

Benefits

• Base salary range of $160,000 - $200,000, plus equity.
• Merit-based annual bonus that scales with company performance.
• Flexible PTO (including 12 company holidays and 2 weeks of required PTO each year).
• 401K Plan with employer match.
• Medical, dental, and vision coverage with HSA option; 50% coverage for dependents.
• Paid Parental Leave for primary and secondary caregivers.
• Your choice of premium tech setup – laptop, monitor, accessories, and headphones.
• $1,000 for your work-from-home setup.
• Annual company retreat and/or team offsites.
• Professional development support for courses, certifications, or training.

Process + Timeline

• Intro Call: A ~45 minute call with our CTO to review your background and learn more about the role.
• Technical Interview(s): A half day of interviews with engineers, including a database modeling exercise, live coding exercise, and a paired code review.
• Final Interview with Cofounders: A quick ~30 minute chat with our cofounders.
