[Hiring] Software Engineer @Meadow

Role Description

We're looking for a mid- to senior-level IC full-stack software engineer to keep our production systems healthy and move our internal tooling forward. You own features end-to-end, make architectural calls within a feature, and ship without a tech lead over your shoulder.

• 80% of your work will be on the tools our operations, sales, and care teams use every day to serve families.
• The rest touches the family-facing surfaces where those experiences land.
• You'll be stepping into a small, senior team comprised of our Head of Engineering and two other engineers.
• Your code reaches production quickly, and the problems you solve are felt directly by the people using the software the next day.
• We work out of a single monorepo with FastAPI services in Python, Next.js/React apps in TypeScript, Inngest for event-driven workflows and pub/sub, and Postgres as our primary datastore.

Our objectives for the role include:

• Ship full-stack features end-to-end across internal tooling and family-facing surfaces, Inngest workflows, FastAPI + Pydantic endpoints, and the React UIs that sit on top of them.
• Triage production issues across our Python backends and TypeScript frontends, drive incidents to root cause, and leave the system better than you found it.
• Keep improving the experience for our internal users (operations, sales, and service teams) who live in these tools every day and expand the tool set available to them as the business grows.

Qualifications

• 3-7+ years shipping production software, with real day-job experience in both Python and TypeScript.
• Comfort working across the stack; willing to own a feature from database to UI.
• Experience with event-driven or job-queue systems (Inngest, Celery, SQS, Temporal, etc.) or a clear appetite to learn ours quickly.
• Experience working at an early-stage startup, understanding ambiguity, shifting priorities, and owning outcomes rather than tickets.
• Available during core hours of 12 PM ET–8 PM ET, reachable for syncs and pairing.

Benefits

• Well-funded, 40-person team from Stripe, Google, Opendoor, Oscar, and a16z-backed companies.
• Opportunity to build in a category that's been waiting for a real company to show up.
• Deathcare today runs on paper, phone, and fax; at Meadow, software is how we scale and deliver a better experience for families.
• Small team that leverages LLMs, allowing for rapid shipping like a much larger team.
• Heavy use of AI in the development loop, with LLMs powering core product surfaces.

Work Setup

• Long-term contractor via Deel.
• Based in Latin America (remote first). Core hours 12 PM–8 PM ET.
• Working language is English, including daily syncs.
• Paid monthly in USD through Deel. Rate range $5,000–$10,500/month depending on performance, seniority, and location.
• You provide your own laptop and equipment.
• This role includes limited weekday on-call coverage; reachable by phone for urgent production issues after your shift.
