Sr. Software Engineer

The Role

Pilot is a successful, stable, and growing startup hiring engineers for our Customer Experience Team.   All of our teams have unique charters to collectively build the software, services and systems that enable Pilot to deliver a high-quality experience, profitably at scale. The Customer Experience organization builds the tools for customers to engage with Pilot’s accounting engine, and builds the translation layer that sits on top of the structured financial data processed by the Financial Platform team, presenting it to our customers in delightful, useful, actionable ways.   Pilot’s backend is written in fully typed Python 3.11, and our frontend is JavaScript, TypeScript, and Vue.js. We use Terraform to manage our production infrastructure, and deploy Docker containers to ECS. AWS CodeDeploy powers our deployments and we rely on Honeycomb for our monitoring and Postgres as our database.

Key Responsibilities

• Building, testing and deploying software in a continuous manner (we deploy throughout the week, if not every day)
• Working with PMs and Product Designers, and participating in product and design reviews.
• Creating and contributing to technical specs and testing/rollout plans.
• Working with internal customers and stakeholders to ensure we’re solving the right problems.
• Mentoring and sponsoring your teammates to help them grow.
• Working across teams to shape the future of engineering at Pilot.
• Supporting your software and services as required.

About You

Even if you don’t have experience with the specific technologies in our stack, we’d love to talk to you! Our requirements are:

• 7+ years of experience as a software engineer
• Able to work collaboratively across functions
• Desire to work across the stack on backend and frontend code. You don’t, however, need to specialize in both
• Strong written, verbal, and technical communication skills
• Able to write well-structured, well-tested, and maintainable code
• Demonstrated ability to mentor and teach others

  Additionally, we’re interested in engineers with specialties or backgrounds in accounting as well as fintech and related fields.   The base pay range target for the role seniority described in this job description is $156,000 - $247,000 in San Francisco, CA. Final offer amounts depend on multiple factors such as candidate experience and expertise, geographic location, total compensation, and market data. In addition to cash pay, full-time regular positions are eligible for equity, 401(k), health benefits, and other benefits; some of these benefits may be available for part-time or temporary positions.
