[Hiring] Senior Software Engineer @Dockwa

Role Description

You will build the software marina operators use to run their businesses, and the boater app on the other side of it.

• Engineering is six people today and will be fourteen inside a year.
• Responsibilities include reservations, payments and money movement, dock and slip management, rent roll, boater CRM, service and work orders, accounting integrations, a native iOS app, and multi-currency as we move internationally.
• You will own problems rather than tickets: scoping, design, implementation, deployment, and post-deployment.
• Spend real time in code you did not write, in a twelve-year-old system carrying live payment traffic.
• Understand the impact of your work quickly, as most customers run seasonal businesses.

Qualifications

• Production web applications you shipped and then owned, not just contributed to.
• Real AI fluency with receipts, not just tool familiarity.
• Comfort across a full stack: Rails, React, Postgres, and AWS.
• The ability to read and improve unfamiliar code without proposing a rewrite.
• Writing clear enough to explain a technical tradeoff to a PM, a support teammate, or a marina operator.

Requirements

• Payments and money movement experience: Stripe or Stripe Connect, ACH, settlement, reconciliation, multi-currency.
• Vertical SaaS or B2B software experience where users operate a physical business.
• International product work: currency, localization, tax, compliance.
• AWS experience beyond EC2 and S3: queuing, caching, and background jobs at scale.
• Experience on a team small enough that you were the one on call for what you built.

How We Hire

Short, collaborative, and built around real problems rather than memory tests or puzzles. We are screening for motivation and judgment over trivia, and we want you to finish the process more excited than you started it.

How We Work

• We are a small team that is winning, keeping the organization lean on purpose.
• We automate before we hire and ship quality at speed.
• We own the full loop from discovery to payment to analytics.
• We move fast, and context does not always land perfectly; it is always fine to ask why.
• We have an institutional partner in PSG and an annual plan that’s in our control.
• We’re investing heavily in product and engineering, with acquisitions as part of our growth strategy.

Equal Opportunity

We hire for range on purpose. Different vantage points produce better arguments, and on a team this small every viewpoint in the room changes the outcome. Dockwa is an equal opportunity employer and considers all qualified applicants without regard to race, color, religion, sex, sexual orientation, gender identity, national origin, age, disability, veteran status, or any other legally protected characteristic.
