[Hiring] Software Engineer 2 (Full Stack) @Prometheum

Role Description

This is a role for an engineer who is ready to own how a piece of work gets done, not just do the work they are assigned.

As a Software Engineer 2, you take ownership of a whole feature once Product hands it off for delivery. You break it into work the team can pick up, get it ready to build, guide it through to release, and keep stakeholders honestly informed along the way. You will work with your Product Manager on technical design and architecture, with guidance from senior engineers as you grow into that part of the job.

You will be measured on what your work does for customers, not on how much of it you shipped. When something is not moving, we expect you to say so early and come with options.

Our engineering team is fully remote.

Responsibilities

• Own epics end to end after handoff from Product, from story writing and pointing through delivery and release
• Build across our TypeScript/Node back end and React front end, taking on the large, complex problems in your team's scope
• Report progress on your epic regularly and accurately, and raise risks before they become surprises
• Partner with your Product Manager and senior engineers on technical design and architecture decisions
• Use AI coding tools as a default part of your workflow, and review what they produce with the same rigor you would apply to your own code
• Lead company-wide demos of the work your epic delivered
• Review teammates' code in a way that catches design concerns, edge cases, and test gaps
• Take part in all scrum ceremonies: refinement, sprint kick-off, standup, demos, and retro
• Work directly with Product, QA, and UX throughout delivery, not just at the handoff
• Investigate and resolve issues found in QA, UAT, and production

Qualifications

• 3 or more years of professional software engineering experience building and shipping production software
• Strong TypeScript or JavaScript knowledge, with real depth in both Node.js and React
• A track record of carrying a substantial piece of work from ambiguous requirements to released software
• Comfort with relational databases, SQL, and reasoning about data models
• Experience with microservices, Docker, and a cloud platform such as AWS
• Automated testing as a habit rather than an afterthought
• Hands-on experience with AI coding assistants, plus the judgment to know when their output is wrong
• Clear written communication with a strong command of the English language, which matters more on a fully remote team
• Able to reason through technical disagreements with evidence, and to update your view when the evidence shifts
• Authorized to work in the U.S. or Canada
• Able to pass a comprehensive background check, which is required for this role

Nice to have

• Experience mentoring or onboarding other engineers
• Background in finance, brokerage, trading, custody, or blockchain
• Exposure to regulated environments and the audit trails they require
• Experience with Jira, Confluence, or similar

How we work

• Fully remote engineering. We work together in real time, with overlapping hours for pairing, reviews, and ceremonies.
• AI-forward. We actively champion AI and tooling that ships customer value faster without giving up quality. Engineers at every level are expected to use these tools well and to bring what they find back to the team.
• Feedback is specific and regular. Quarterly reviews, weekly 1:1s, and a candid conversation when something is not landing, not a surprise at year end.
• Product-led mindset. We measure work by its impact on customers, not volume shipped.

Benefits

• Health, dental, vision, disability, and life insurance
• Stock options
• Competitive vacation time, paid sick days, and time off for observed federal holidays
• Equipment provided
