Very Senior to Staff Level Backend Software Engineer

We are looking for very senior or staff level backend software engineers to join us. We have a strong feedback loop with customers and as a member of the product team you will work cross functionally with product, design, customer support, and other engineers to solve critical customer problems end to end. We are a small, remote team and are highly focused on impactful changes that make our customers more successful.

What we seek in you

We are focused on building the strongest team possible. Here are key things that we look for in teammates:

• You are excited about our mission and our values align with yours
• You have experience as a technical lead with a strong voice that can confidently help us solve problems, improve the system architecture, and codebase
• You should have at least three years of experience working in a very senior or staff level engineering role on production systems with at least one that is customer facing. The system needs to be of some scale when it comes to usage and data volume. For example, at least thousands of people use it daily. We prefer people with both big company and startup experience.
• You have experience working on production systems written in Typescript and possibly other strongly typed languages
• You live within a three hour time zone difference from California
• You are passionate about design patterns, principles, standards and best practices that lead to building blocks for a highly maintainable and scalable system

Coast is actively seeking to diversify the team and you can learn more about us here. Women, minorities, and individuals with disabilities are encouraged to apply.

We are an equal opportunity employer and strive to create a joyful and supportive place to work.

Please do NOT apply if you don’t have the experience that is needed for this role.
