Guideline is looking for a Senior Software Engineer to join our expanding engineering team. You will join a distributed team of remote employees and employees based near our offices. As a Full Stack Engineer on an agile team, you will build upon our growing line of products that bring the possibility of a safe retirement to more people. You will work remote.

What You Will Work On

• Bring modern software solutions to an antiquated financial industry using your expertise of building full stack software solutions.
• Build elegant software from the ground up by creating user interfaces, using message queuing infrastructure, streamlining operations and designing systems architecture.
• Work with a group of passionate technologists to help automate administrative tasks and build unique solutions to solve our users' problems.
• Lay the groundwork for further expansion and scale.

What We're Looking For

• 4+ years of experience building consumer-facing software products
• Experience programming in at least one backend language (like Ruby, Python, Go) and one modern frontend framework or rendering library (React, Vue, Angular)
• Working knowledge of relational databases, designing APIs, and security lifecycle best practices.
• Familiarity with (or wants to learn) how to run modern distributed systems environments built with Kubernetes, Docker, and GCP

We understand that not everyone will be an expert in all of these areas on day one. We value people who enjoy learning and will consider someone with the fundamentals who wants to further their skills.
