Senior Software Engineer Team Lead

Senior Software Engineer - Team Lead

We’re looking for a passionate, adaptable Software Engineer technical leader who thrives in the dynamic world of SaaS. We value a candidate who embraces the ever-evolving nature of programming, understands the importance of growth through both successes and challenges and demonstrates resilience in the face of setbacks. This is a hands-on technical leadership role where you’ll be expected to do more than just move tickets – you’ll drive engineering excellence.

Let us introduce ourselves...

We’re a team of driven, conscientious individuals with a clear mission: to make accounting and payroll fast, simple, and affordable for millions of American businesses and their accountants. 

It’s not enough to have a “good job”. It takes connection, culture, encouragement, growth opportunities, challenges, communication, and so much more to create an environment where people and ideas flourish. 

We are Patriot Software; a remote-first company with 175+ employees across the United States and a co-working space in Canton, Ohio. 

Our search for a new team member always starts by seeking a quality individual who desires to live by our core values:

1. Be Customer Obsessed - In everything we do, we start with the customer and work our way backwards. Our primary focus is how we deliver tremendous value for the American businesses we serve.
2. Lead With Speed - We believe in doing things quickly and not being afraid to take big chances. Moving fast and making bold moves is how we stay ahead.
3. Don’t Cut Corners - We don’t skimp on quality. We make sure to own our technologies, development, and operations so that the entire experience is the best it can be.
4. Create a Better Us - We’re always improving by keeping it simple, saying no to things that don’t help our customers, automating what we can, and spending our money wisely.
5. Follow The Golden Rule - We treat others how we would want to be treated, disagree and commit, and welcome feedback from anyone, anywhere in the company.
6. Grow, Be a Leader - We look for leaders at all levels and always put the customer and team above ourselves. We want to build a pro team of high-caliber players, with high accountability and trust across all individuals.
