Senior Software Engineer

Requisitos

• Tremendous is the global platform built for businesses to send payouts - gift cards and money - to anyone, anywhere, instantly
• We're trusted by 20,000+ organizations, from startups to giants like Google, GitHub, and Notion, to reach millions of recipients worldwide
• We're profitable and growing without outside investors
• We're fully remote, with a high-documentation, low-meeting culture that leaves more time for the work that matters - and for your life outside it
• Our employee NPS sits in the 80s. ## About the role **What we work on:** Customers can send thousands of payouts in a few clicks, but making that simple takes complex engineering
• We move billions of dollars through our platform, manage a catalog of 2,500+ redemption options, and deliver to recipients in 200+ countries
• Our work spans the whole experience: helping businesses get started, giving large organizations the tools to manage their payouts, expanding what customers and recipients can do with Tremendous, and building the platform that supports it all. **How we build:** Engineers drive projects end to end, from helping shape what gets built to measuring whether it worked
• We work async, so writing is how work gets done here
• Projects start with a tech brief, and we document decisions so teammates can catch up without another meeting
• We use AI throughout to write and review code, explore unfamiliar parts of the codebase, and pressure-test ideas. **What we value:** We’re deliberate about which tech debt we tackle and when, prioritizing work that unblocks development and strengthens our infrastructure
• When incidents happen, we respond, conduct a blameless post-mortem, and address the underlying causes - whether they’re in our systems, processes, or application security
• We work through problems openly, seek input from people who know the problem best, and change our minds when someone has a better answer. ## **What you’ll do** - Architect, build, and test substantial features across the stack
• Choose technical approaches that balance delivery speed, reliability, and maintainability. - Work with PMs and designers to scope projects, estimate effort, surface complexity and tradeoffs early, and keep everyone in the loop as things change. - Make the team around you faster and better through documentation, tooling, code review, and mentorship. - Own what you ship in production: monitor releases and debug what breaks. ## **What you’ll bring** - **Experience building complex web applications** with demonstrated ownership across the stack
• You write correct, maintainable, secure code and choose solutions that fit the problem. - **Deep expertise with a modern web framework, ideally Ruby on Rails or React.** Our stack also includes TypeScript, PostgreSQL, and Google Cloud. - **Independence.** You thrive with autonomy
• You break big, ambiguous problems into shippable pieces, unblock yourself, and adapt to whatever a project needs. - **Product sense.** You care about why you’re building something, not just how
• You ask questions that clarify the user’s problem and use that understanding to make sensible tradeoffs. - **Strong written communication.** You write concise, constructive technical briefs, code reviews, and project updates. - **Curiosity.** You enjoy digging into unfamiliar domains and figuring out problems without an obvious playbook
• You seek feedback and use what you learn to become a better engineer. - **Effective use of AI.** You use AI heavily to accelerate your work while remaining accountable for every line you ship
• You review, test, and refine AI output with the judgment of an experienced engineer building a product we’ll maintain for years. ## **What's cool about the role** - **Competitive pay and equity.** Base salary for this role: $100,000 - $200,000. - **Fully remote.** Work from anywhere in the Americas. - **Great culture.** Read more about how we work in our [public handbook](https://handbook.tremendous.com/)
