At Built In, the health, safety and well-being of our employees and of our communities is a top priority. Due to the effects of COVID-19, we have decided to manage our entire business remotely until further notice. HQ-based employees will temporarily work from home until it is safe to return to our office. As we continue to grow, we are excited to be hiring for all open roles and look forward to meeting with qualified candidates in a virtual setting. For anyone who joins our team (yay!), your onboarding experience will also be conducted virtually. Thank you for your interest in Built In and be safe! 

Hello, We’re Built In

What We’re Up To 

We’re building the largest platform for tech professionals globally. Monthly, millions of professionals visit BuiltIn.com from across the world. We’re the only platform they need to stay ahead of tech trends and news, develop their careers and find opportunities at companies they believe in. 

Our 1,800 customers include innovative companies of all sizes, from exciting startups to companies in the Fortune 100. To attract our audience of skilled professionals, they trust us to tell the stories of their cultures and share their job opportunities. This helps them hire the industry’s most sought-after professionals locally, nationally and remotely – ultimately contributing to the industry’s ability to innovate a better future. 

What You’ll Be a Part Of 

Working at Built In is the chance to help shape a fast-growing company. Whereas we served eight tech hubs at the start of 2021, we entered 72 new markets across the U.S. by year’s end. Global plans are in the works. With venture funding of $30 million to date, we’re expanding not just our geographic footprint but our products and technology.

With the launch of e-learning opportunities for users, we’ve made Built In even more valuable for the professionals who already trust us with their careers. And as we grow into the leading SaaS product for employer branding, we're using the latest technologies to serve customers in new, exciting ways — and you’ll contribute to that. 

You’ll also be a part of changing the lives of professionals like you, ambitious people with a passion for tech and love of learning. As a result, you’ll understand the impact of your work in a deeply personal, especially meaningful way. 

We’re looking for a Staff Software Engineer (Remote)

We are a dynamic team of engineers building products for a fast-growing company that is dedicated to building meaningful tech communities. As an experienced member of our Technology team, we seek talented people who have a passion for solving business problems through innovation and best engineering practices.

You'll apply your depth of knowledge and expertise to all aspects of the software development lifecycle, as well as partner continuously with your many stakeholders on a daily basis to stay focused on common technology and company goals. We embrace uncertainty, stretch beyond your comfort zone, suggest and make effective decisions. We are a culture of experimentation and constantly strive for improvement and learning.

You’ll work in a collaborative, trusting, thought-provoking, outcome-driven environment with new technologies and architectures in a forward-thinking organization that looks to push boundaries - one that encourages diversity of thought and creative solutions that are in the best interests of our customers nationally (and building towards globally). 

How you’ll contribute

• Collaborate and mentor across multiple engineering teams and have the flexibility to be part of any team that requires your expertise. We are organized around B2B, B2C, Data & Business Intelligence, Platform and Growth Engineering Teams with shared services of SRE and QA.
• Play a key role in the complete software development lifecycle, including analysis, design, coding, unit testing and debugging, and documentation.
• Contribute to both front-end and back-end development on our platform. Your tasks will require you to visualize and work with the entire platform and data assets, and across teams. 
• Work within our multi-technology stack including Vue, Golang, C#, TypeScript, and MySQL to build services, APIs, and applications.
• Adapt to new technologies and processes quickly, while working in a test-driven development environment. Your technological insight will always be valued in implementing improvements to our development processes.
• Embrace uncertainty, stretch beyond your comfort zone, suggest and make effective decisions. 
• You will be able to grow with us as we have clearly defined career paths and opportunities, whether you want to design systems, manage engineers, or put your head down and code.

What you need

• BS or MS in computer science or information technology, or equivalent experience required.
• 10 years of experience in software engineering is required.
• You are an expert with modern frontend and/or backend languages such as Go, C#, Python, JavaScript and TypeScript.
• Highly experienced with API design, DevOps practices, Github, Docker, Cloud Providers (AWS preferred but not required), and cloud technologies at scale. 
• Experience with Test Driven Development and Unit Test Frameworks.
• Experience working closely with SRE and QA teams to ensure that infrastructure and development tasks meet quality criteria through test planning and executions, including build towards a reliable CI/CD pipeline.
• Passion to be a part of a team that succeeds as a unit. You crave mentorship from your peers as much as you desire to mentor your fellow engineers.

Impress us even more

• Full stack development
• Expertise in Vue.js or React 

What We Value

We’re revolutionizing tech recruitment. So we question everything, because the best answers sit just to the right of a question mark. That’s our heritage as a disruptive company — as a company whose future depends on our capacity to innovate with a sense of drive, purpose and urgency. If you join Built In, you will work from this set of values: 

• Be Inclusive, Always. We’re committed to a culture where all people are respected, have a say and can be their whole selves. We will uplift and advocate for one another. Always.
• Be Unreasonably Passionate. Our passion is borderline obsessive, and we’re ok with that. No one ever built anything great on a “meh.” We work with outsized passion to fulfill our mission.
• Be Humble. You don’t have all the answers. Luckily, you don’t have to. Don’t worry about being right. Be humble instead. 
• Stay Curious. Curiosity is a springboard to the future. It can transform the wisp of an idea into a breakthrough. We ask “what if.” We work with wonder. It’s how we innovate.
• Lead with Solutions. Question everything. But offer solutions as you do. Raise issues. But propose a few answers. For every hole you poke, offer a way to patch it up. 
• Own the Result. We have no time for blame or shame. When you stumble, own it, learn from it get back to business. 
• Do More. Do more than your job description. Take initiative. Take charge. No job is beneath you, and no job is too big. Be a leader and do more — do whatever it takes. 

Be Inclusive, Always

Research shows that women and other marginalized groups tend to apply to roles only when they check every point on a job description. We encourage you to apply if you meet the majority of qualifications and this role is aligned with your career trajectory.
