### About the Team

The Core 401(k) team makes offering a 401(k) to employees easy for every company. We're responsible for ensuring companies don't have to think about complex laws, rules, and regulations. We build features and capabilities for small businesses that are often unavailable through legacy providers.

- Identify opportunities to extend and modify the architecture of existing systems to support new capabilities.

- Codify and evangelize engineering best practices.

- Partner with product, design, and operations to scope work and deliver production-ready solutions.

- Debug production issues and improve reliability, observability, and operational tooling.

- Collaborate with other engineering teams to integrate with shared systems and platforms.

- Write clear, reliable, well-tested code that ships quickly and scales well.

### Requirements

- 8+ years of software engineering experience building and shipping production products or platforms.

- Comfortable working across teams and gaining influence to drive projects forward.

- Strong experience with services and APIs.

- Strong experience with message-based systems (e.g., Sidekiq, SQS, NServiceBus).

- Experience with GraphQL.

- Good experience with large modern frontend applications (e.g., React).

- Comfortable owning systems end-to-end, including production support and operational work.

- Experience working closely with PMs and cross-functional partners to deliver scoped work.

- Pragmatic, execution-focused approach to engineering.

- Clear communicator and collaborative teammate.

- Experience with Ruby on Rails (or a comparable backend framework).

### Compensation

Our cash compensation amount for this role is targeted at $163,000–$204,000 in Denver & most remote locations, and $197,000–$247,000 for San Francisco & New York. Stock equity is additional.
