Job description
Our client is a fast-growing, venture-backed technology company that has built a modernized Point-of-Sale (POS) platform purpose-built for a niche industry. Two years in, they have achieved meaningful scale — serving 150+ multi-location enterprise customers with a system that operates around the clock across multiple time zones, acting as the core platform for procurement, transactions, and reporting.
They work fully in-person, 5 days a week, out of their office in the Flatiron district of New York City. Relocation assistance and visa sponsorship are not available at this time.
Who They're Looking For
As a Senior Engineer, you'll be expected to bring strong engineering principles backed by at least 5 years of experience. The ideal candidate:
Has a strong computer science and programming foundation — has read Designing Data-Intensive Applications
Is a craftsperson who deeply cares about the quality of their output and understands the long-term costs of shortcuts
Builds with the end user and longevity in mind — knows how to design abstractions and APIs that are a pleasure for both customers and teammates to use
Communicates effectively to drive clarity and alignment across the organization — able to translate product requirements into technical challenges and vice versa
Is genuinely passionate about software engineering and dives deep into topics that interest them, whether that's the Node.js Event Loop or how virtual memory works at the OS level
Has hands-on experience with serverless architectures — comfortable designing and deploying serverless functions and event-driven systems in cloud environments (e.g., AWS Lambda, Vercel Edge Functions, or equivalent)
What You'll Work On
Build and own new user-facing features end-to-end, from database models to UI components
Continuously improve observability across existing systems — analytics, monitoring, and alerting
Collaborate with product and engineering to architect key differentiators, including embedded fintech products and AI agents to help merchants manage their stores
Build CI/CD pipelines and developer tooling (e.g., feature environments) that increase development velocity
Help shape engineering processes to support building a world‑class product
