Job description

Quoted in full from Raydar's job posting. Gavroche does not edit it.

About the company

Our client is a fast-growing Series A compliance software company that uses AI to help investment advisers and broker-dealers monitor communications, marketing, accounts and filings for regulatory risk. It has about $11 million in ARR and a team of about 60, and it is growing quickly.

The role

Raydar is recruiting for this role on behalf of our client. You will join a small engineering team as a hands-on senior engineer who owns product work end to end. The role leans backend, though it may reach into full stack.

What you'll do

- Ship a first change to production in your first days.

- Implement a significant feature that drives new revenue in your first month.

- Become the owner of a domain within the product.

- Help the team through code review and technical design review.

- Build mostly in Python (Django) on AWS, working closely with product, customer success and the founders.

- Train and help hire new team members as the team scales.

Requirements

What we're looking for

- Experience designing backend architecture and data models for production systems.

- Experience owning products end to end.

- Strong experience with Python.

- 3 or more years of professional software engineering experience.

- Clear, organized communication and strong problem solving.

- A bachelor's or master's degree in computer science or a related field.

Benefits

- Base salary: USD 200,000 to 250,000 per year

- Competitive equity

- Comprehensive benefits, including a 401(k) match

- Very few meetings, broad scope and high autonomy
