Senior Software Engineer

About Triplebyte

Come help us build the future of software engineer hiring!

Triplebyte is on a mission to create a more just tech industry by fixing hiring for software engineers. This is important because millions of people have skills (and deserve good jobs), but don’t fit the profile that recruiters seek. We aim to cut out that noise by matching opportunities to people who have the skills to succeed in them - regardless of their background. Companies fromstealth-startups to global brands source and hire engineers from Triplebyte.

Over the course of 2020, we've executed well on a major pivot in our business strategy amidst a global pandemic and economic recession. Now, we're emerging from the pandemic stronger than ever. We have plenty of runway, we've been outperforming on sales / renewals, and we're excited to ramp up on our favorite activity, hiring software engineers, again.''

We have an all star list of investors, some of which include: Garry Tan, Sam Altman, Paul Graham, Justin Kan, Drew Houston and Michael Seibel just to name a few.

About the role

As both the user of our product and the engineer building it, you’ll be uniquely positioned to influence what that future looks like and where we’ll go from here. You'll have a major impact on the product and engineering culture and a lot of opportunity for personal growth on our tight-knit team of mission-driven engineers.

We’re currently hyper-focused on two areas, Job Search and Screen, and our team is accordingly split on these lines.

On the Job Search Squad, we’re tackling two problems. Outsiders looking to break into tech feel stuck, having to send hundreds of applications to get a single interview. On the flip side, insiders want to find the RIGHT next job, but the information they care about is not out in the open, and interviewing repeatedly for this information is time-consuming and stressful. We believe there’s an opportunity for something much better, and we’re building that experience.

Screen is what happens when we repurpose our assessments from being a credentialing tool for candidates to a screening tool for companies. When it comes to recruiting, the biggest pain point for companies is the time drain of vetting (esp. inbound) candidates. Backed by extensive psychometric research, Screen helps hiring managers vet better and find the right candidates faster, reducing the number of interviews they have to do themselves. For candidates, there’s also no reason to do the same assessments over and over for different companies. Screen therefore has the opportunity to become the “common app” for software engineering hiring.

What you'll do

• Build new and exciting product features together with our product and design teams. Translate product specs into working features.
• Collaborate with other engineers, learning from them and mentoring them.
• Be excited to work in new areas and learn new things when needed.
• Elevate the status quo and push for higher development standards. Lead discussions about improving our processes and figuring out the best product ideas.

What you'll need to be successful

• Strong proficiency and demonstrated experience in developing modern web applications.
• Strong proficiency with these or analogous technologies: Rails, React, Redux, PostgreSQL, Redis, Heroku, AWS, Docker + more
• Proven track record of taking ownership of projects and initiatives end-to-end; ability to work across the stack and learn new skills as needed.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced startup environment; has the good judgment to make explicit trade-offs about speed and quality when necessary.
• Ability to ingest complex project requirements and execute on them.

Bonus points if you:

• Are passionate about helping people find jobs and creating a more just software engineering hiring marketplace.
• Have a strong bias for action.
• Are an amazing communicator (esp. in a remote environment).
• Lead initiatives where you see a need exists.
• Guide and mentor others on your team and beyond.
• Are highly creative (we all are!).

Even if your experience doesn’t match all of the above requirements, we invite you to apply anyway. We recognize that talent comes in different forms. Our business is matching engineers with their next great opportunity, regardless of background. We apply the same ethos to our internal hiring. We're looking for a team member with enthusiasm and the ability to do the job, not a perfect resume.
