Senior Software Engineer, Royalties (Fully Remote, US and Latin America only)

Requisitos

• **How would you like to work in an environment in which you can directly shape the product?** At Molten Cloud, we don't believe in artificial boundaries or engineering silos
• We don't split our team into front-end and back-end camps
• everyone here has the opportunity to work across the entire stack
• We pair this high level of project autonomy with a fully remote setup, company-covered AI coding tools, and a healthy culture that actually insists you take your vacation time
• Molten Cloud is a media rights and royalties platform used by roughly 80 customers to manage complex rights, avails, and royalty calculations
• We're hiring a Senior Software Engineer to join our small, high-leverage Royalties engineering team, working on correctness-critical financial logic — including our next-generation flexible royalty waterfall engine
• This is not a “move fast and break things” role
• Royalty calculations are the product — customers are paid based on what this system computes, and correctness is non-negotiable
• You'll be joining two senior engineers already deep in this domain, and will be expected to own significant pieces of design and implementation with minimal hand-holding
• We are a diverse, highly collaborative team backed by top-tier venture funds and prominent investors, including Jack Dorsey, Ashton Kutcher, and Michael Ovitz. **Why You Will Love Working Here** * Large, Interesting Problems to Solve: Our products are critical for the Hollywood industry and we’re sending content around the world to over 100 destinations
• The problems we solve are consequential and every day we manage petabytes of data
• In fact, our technology touches over 10% of all movies known to exist on IMDb. * Fast-Track Growth: With heavy mentorship and deep trust from day one, even our more junior team members quickly build the kind of influence and ownership typically reserved for seasoned staff. * Modern Tooling: We want you to move fast
• The company completely covers your subscriptions for advanced AI coding tools like Cursor and Claude. * A Culture of Camaraderie: We are a tight-knit group and there is a ton of camaraderie amongst our staff
• We keep the connection strong with company offsites 1 to 2 times a year. **What You Will Do** * Design and build flexible royalty waterfall logic (tiered splits, recoupment, participations) that must handle a wide range of contract structures correctly * Work in Python against a MongoDB data layer, with a strong focus on data integrity and financial precision in a schemaless environment * Partner directly with product on ambiguous requirements — translating business/contract logic into precise acceptance criteria, not just code * Contribute to test strategy for financial correctness (a genuine gate on this team, not a formality) * Help build out core general ledger functionality (accounts receivable, accounts payable, journal entries, chart of accounts) as we extend the platform's financial foundation **What We Are Looking For** * **Demonstrated experience with financially precise or correctness-critical systems — royalties, billing, payments, accounting, or similarly high-stakes domains is an absolute requirement** * 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, with substantial production Python experience * Strong data modeling skills, including experience enforcing integrity and precision in NoSQL/document databases (MongoDB experience a strong plus) * Comfort operating with real ambiguity — you'll help define the spec, not just build to one * Track record in a small or scaling company environment * Working familiarity with core accounting concepts (general ledger, AR/AP, double-entry bookkeeping) — we're extending the platform into general ledger functionality in the near term **Nice To Have** * Experience in media, entertainment, licensing, or content rights domains * Experience integrating with external ERP/accounting systems (e.g., Dynamics Business Central, NetSuite) — relevant to a possible future project, not a current requirement * Prior hands-on work building or extending a general ledger, AR/AP module, or similar core accounting functionality * Familiarity with Jira-based, hours-tracked sprint workflows **How to Apply** If you want to build technology that shapes the global media landscape, all from home, we'd love to hear from you
