As a Senior Software Engineer, you will design and build products that simplify complex payroll infrastructure, working closely with product, design, and operations teams to enhance the reliability and efficiency of payroll systems.

Responsibilities:

• Run at complex problems across our platform, designing and building products that translate complex payroll infrastructure into intuitive tools for operators and partners
• Own projects end-to-end, from identifying the problem and shaping the solution through design, implementation, rollout, and iteration based on real-world usage
• Be a true partner to product, design, and operations by developing a deep understanding of the workflows and challenges faced by payroll operators and partners
• Build internal and partner-facing tools that improve the visibility, reliability, and explainability of how money moves through the payroll system
• Reduce friction in our systems by improving workflows, architecture, and tooling for both developers and operators
• Role model clear, critical thinking through code, proposals, and diagrams that help teams align and move forward together
• Raise the quality bar by working in the open, giving thoughtful feedback, mentoring teammates, and helping the team ship work we’re proud of

Requirements:

• Experience with senior-level ownership and delivery of production systems end-to-end, from design through deployment and operation
• Experience building internal tools, developer platforms, or product systems that support complex operational workflows
• Ability to navigate ambiguous problem spaces and bring structure through thoughtful design and collaboration
• Comfort debugging complex systems and investigating issues that span multiple services or infrastructure layers
• Strong communication skills and the ability to clearly explain technical tradeoffs to engineers and non-engineers alike
• Proficiency in Python or Go (experience with Django, React, or TypeScript is a plus)
