Senior Software Engineer - Full Stack

So, what’s the role?

As a Senior Software Engineer at Kin, you'll work on a small team, independently owning and operating a range of features on in-house developed applications. You’ll collaborate with team members in structuring, implementing, delivering, and maintaining web applications built with Ruby on Rails, Typescript, Python and possibly other modern languages and frameworks. 

Kin’s engineering team is highly collaborative, though we expect at the senior-level for you to require little guidance for most features. You’ll contribute to your team by championing systemic solutions while surfacing systemic problems. Additionally, you'll have the opportunity to mentor more junior engineers, and on occasion lead small teams.

A day in the life could include: 

• Writing clean, maintainable, and efficient code in Ruby on Rails and Typescript
• Assist with implementation of solutions across the stack
• Participating in pair programming with team members
• Taking on more advanced design or architectural tasks
• Participating in daily stands and weekly retros
• Collaborating with cross-functional team members
• Contribute to and expand the engineering team’s code culture and practice, including documentation, testing, architecture, and layout

I’ve got the skills… but do I have the necessary ones?

• 4+ years of professional full-stack software engineering experience
• 3+ years experience coding with Ruby
• Experience mentoring junior engineers
• Comfortable in a startup environment – we’re fast-paced, self-motivated, and determined to change the industry
• A fast learner, ready to bring previous knowledge to this position and continue developing along the way
• Location in Central or Eastern US time zones (CDT & EDT) strongly preferred

Bonus Points:

• Experience with Typescript and Angular

Oh, and don’t worry, we’ve got you covered!

• Flexible PTO policy 
• Remote work
• Generous equity package
• 401K with company match
