investa - Senior Software Engineer
Requirements
• Coding: You are a "doer." You love shipping code, crave the responsibility that comes with joining a founding team, and are comfortable driving tricky engineering problems forward with high autonomy and support from the team. • Adaptable & Impact-Driven: Technical Depth: You have +5 years experience in software engineering, specifically building and maintaining production-grade distributed systems. You are a flexible engineer who is excited to jump in wherever the business actually needs you most to solve interesting problems across the board. You are proficient in at least one or two modern languages (Python, TypeScript, Java, Go, etc.) and have experience with cloud environments (AWS, Azure, or GCP). • Pragmatic Mindset: You balance structural integrity with contextual relevance, ensuring we don't just build the "perfect" system, but the right system for our current needs. • Collaborative Spirit: You enjoy working in a tight-knit team, giving/receiving candid feedback, and contributing to a culture of shared learning. • First-Principles Thinker: You don’t just follow patterns; you understand why they exist. You can pick up new technologies or domains (like complex options Greeks) quickly, and you welcome a setup that actively forces you to grow into a much more versatile engineer. • All engineers at Investa are involved in providing support for our products. This involves responding to events outside of working hours and is a core part of the role of all engineers.
